What does it look like to homeschool with confidence, especially when you’ve never bought a curriculum, started in the middle of a pandemic, and are learning to accept yourself along the way? In this episode of the Homeschool Mama Self-Care Podcast , I chat with Sigbrit , a homeschool mom, Enneagram 8, and member of the Confident Homeschool Mom Collective, about her unique and authentic homeschooling journey. Together, we explore the lessons she’s learned about interest-led homeschooling for confident moms —and how self-awareness, experimentation, and even Brené Brown’s wisdom on vulnerability play a role in creating a life-giving homeschool. What You’ll Learn About Interest-Led Homeschooling for Confident Moms In this episode, we discuss: Why Sigbrit chose not to use formal curriculum and instead patchworked her homeschool from books and observation The importance of watching your children learn before deciding how to teach How to balance parental interests with children’s passions in a homeschool lifestyle Why it’s okay if your child reads (and rereads!) Diary of a Wimpy Kid The value of deep conversations, curiosity, and experimentation in learning How coaching and the Enneagram helped Sigbrit feel more rooted and confident Brené Brown’s reminder: “Vulnerability is not weakness; it’s our greatest measure of courage.” Navigating challenges in marriage and family dynamics when homeschooling What to do when you feel like you’ve “messed up” your kids How outsourcing subjects you don’t know is a strength, not a failure The power of journaling, self-coaching, and carving out quiet morning reflection “Vulnerability is not weakness; it’s our greatest measure of courage.” Brene Brown, The Gifts of Imperfection Meet Sigbrit Sigbrit was born and raised in Denmark and moved to the U.S. 15 years ago. Now living near Baltimore, she homeschools her three daughters (ages 11 and 9-year-old twins) with what she calls a “relaxed homeschool” style. She draws inspiration from nature, history, creativity, and her children’s interests. Her homeschool motto: follow curiosity, embrace flexibility, and make learning fun. Let’s Keep the Conversation Going Homeschooling isn’t about perfection or sticking to someone else’s formula. As Sigbrit’s story shows, it’s about learning alongside your children, embracing vulnerability, and creating a homeschool that reflects the real people in your home.
