Today's Catholic Homeschooling

After 15 years of differently-wired parenting, I’ve learned:

It’s okay to be afraid.

It’s okay if your voice shakes, if you stumble over your words when you’re advocating for a kiddo.

It’s okay if you dread taking them to therapy.

It’s okay if you’ve wished for a different normal.

It’s okay if you get tired or weary and every cell in your body craves for a moment away from all of it - the house, the kids, everything.

None of this makes you a bad mom.

It means you are human.

It means you love those children so much that you feel it with every fiber of being.

It means that you are brave, because despite all the struggles and the fears and the sleepless nights, you are fiercely, completely, wholly their mother and you are so, so proud of who they are and who they will become.

It means that you do not give up, because you know you can do all things through through Christ who strengthens you -

Especially when your voice shakes.

What do these holy men and women have in common?

They persevered.

They embraced challenge and difficulty and, instead of shutting down or giving up, used those stumbling blocks to move forward.

To glorify God.

To bring His light and His word and His teachings to others by their actions.

They’re the perfect role models for kids who struggle with perfectionism and imposter syndrome, and I tell their stories in Made for Greatness: A Growth Mindset Journal for Courageous Catholic Youth:
