In this heartfelt solo episode, Christine pulls back the curtain on the real story behind writing her third anthology in a year, Course Corrected (launching September 4). She shares the messy-beautiful middle of raising kids, educating at home, and running a mission-driven business, plus the exact moment she almost quit…and the handwritten note from her daughter Ella that became the turning point. You’ll hear how divine timing, clarified values, and staying in your lane can transform overwhelm into momentum, and why your work may be bigger than you think.

Head over to the Home Education with Ease Facebook Group and answer this week’s questions:

• What was a “course-correcting” moment in your life that changed your path?
• When have your kids surprised you with wisdom that shifted your perspective?

Takeaways:

• Course corrections aren’t detours; they reveal your true path, especially when guided by faith and timing.
• Clarity comes from commitments: choose your lane, plant roots, and let momentum build.
• Your calling is bigger than you: the work you do today can shape your children’s future and legacy.
• Balancing business and home education requires boundaries, batching, and season-aware expectations.
• Community matters, moms shouldn’t do motherhood, advocacy, or home education alone.
• “Learning is all around us” isn’t a slogan; it’s a lifestyle that turns everyday moments into Teaching Moments®.
• Permission to begin again: even after burnout or a break, you can restart with purpose.

• “It’s not a pivot, it’s your path.”
• “I was ready to quit…until Ella handed me a note that made me realize this is bigger than me.”
• “Do it like you. Stay in your lane, perfect that first, then branch out.”
• “Divine timing has shown up in my story again and again.”
• “Learning truly is all around us and our kids are watching.”
• “I don’t want moms to feel like they’re doing this alone. I’m here to walk alongside you.”
• “I thought I had one book in me; turns out there are many because the mission keeps growing.”
