Homeschool creator Lauren Williams (@valorfilledhome) shares what happened when a candid reel went viral—hate comments, misconceptions, and an unexpected surge of moms whispering, “Thank you for saying what I’m afraid to say.” Lauren and Kristen Bruinius talk about believing lies vs. believing God, choosing silence over clapbacks, and how Scripture reframed her response (Noah’s waiting, Psalm 23’s “walk”). We get real about rhythms, socialization, qualifications, and simple unit studies that keep learning joyful. Whether you homeschool, private school, public school—or you’re just navigating life on the internet—this conversation offers courage, clarity, and the reminder that you and your kids are right where you need to be.
