Many of us are homeschooling and mothering as we enter our own midlife season. In this episode of The Homeschool Sisters Podcast, Cait welcomes Vanessa Wright to discuss how we can create beauty and transition well as our children prepare to launch.
THE HOMESCHOOL SISTERS PODCAST WELCOMES VANESSA

Mothering (and Homeschooling!) In Midlife
Vanessa Wright is a trained Beautiful You Life Coach, writer, and speaker. She helps mothers in midlife create sustainable self-care practices via her signature FLOW method so they can reclaim their time, energy, and creativity. Her mission is to support and encourage mothers to take authentic action toward their goals and dreams and embrace the transitions and transformations of midlife motherhood.
She is a published author and was recently included in a collection of women’s essays and stories called This I Know Is True published by the kind press. For the last five years, she’s worked as the homeschool liaison and special projects coordinator for Big Life Journal. From 2018-2022, she was a contributing writer to The Homeschool Mom blog where she shared her family’s journey and encouraged others with her insight, tips, and reflections.
Prior to raising her children and homeschooling, she worked in marketing communications and public relations. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Professional Writing and French from Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA.
She is a long-time homeschooling mom to three teens. She loves hot tea, taking walks, overusing GIFs, and eating dark chocolate every single day. She and her family live in Raleigh, North Carolina.

NEVER BOARD LEARNING
FIND THE CONNECTION YOU CRAVE TO CULTIVATE THE HOMESCHOOL THAT IS IN YOUR HEART.
One thing I’ve learned in our 9+ (!!!) years of homeschooling is that homeschooling shouldn’t look anything like the public school of your past. I created NBL to be a safe space for creative parents and educators to authentically connect, share ideas, and support each other as they raise their wildly and wonderfully unique children and teens.

I’d love for you to step outside of that ol’ proverbial box and join the fun! Right now, download a free copy of our monthly playbook!
Our members love our NBL Playbooks! These ebooks keep your children and teens busy and learning all month long.
