Surviving Mid-Year Homeschool Burnout | 336

Feb 13, 2025

The mid-year slump is real, and for many homeschool families, February and early March bring feelings of burnout, discouragement, and exhaustion. The excitement of the new school year has faded, the holidays are long past, and spring still feels out of reach. 


In this episode, Leslie Nunnery unpacks the real reasons behind this seasonal struggle—whether it’s winter blues, exhaustion, comparison traps, or feeling off-track—and provides encouraging, faith-based strategies to regain joy in homeschooling. She reminds us that homeschooling is a tool, not the mission itself, and encourages us to reset our focus on discipleship and relationship-building. 


Join us for a refreshing, hope-filled conversation that will help you navigate this season with renewed strength and purpose.
