Are you facing a move and feeling completely overwhelmed about starting over with your homeschool? Maybe you’re wishing for some sense of rhythm and comfort when everything else around you is shifting.In this episode, I talk with Melaney Smith, a pastor’s wife and homeschool mom of three, about what it’s like to leave everything behind and begin again. Melaney recently moved her family from Stockton, California, all the way to the snowy prairies of North Dakota. She generously shares what it was like to grieve, adjust (and freeze!), and eventually discover her new groove as a homeschooling mom.We talk about what really happens when your routines get tossed upside-down and how to handle the emotional load, the reality of creating community in a completely new place, and how tools like Autopilot became Melaney’s secret weapon during the chaos. In her story, you’ll find surprising insights about why familiar routines matter so much during big transitions and how flexible habits can truly anchor your family when everything else feels unfamiliar.If you are walking through a big life change or just need some honest encouragement (plus a few laughs about frozen winters and missing good hot sauce), you’ll find practical help and camaraderie right here.What you’ll learn:What actually happens (emotionally and practically) when you move cross-country with your family and begin homeschooling againHow consistency and familiar homeschool rhythms can help everyone adjust after a big moveWhy planning tools and a supportive community are essential during chaotic seasonsThe basics of “Minimum Viable Days” and why these can be a lifesaver when your regular routines are impossibleCreative ideas for adapting your homeschool to new climates, schedules, and culturesWhy taking three to five years to feel at home is normal—and perfectly okayHow letting go of perfection and choosing to show up faithfully brings peace and growthResources mentioned:Put Your Homeschool Year on AutopilotHomeschool Consistency BootcampPodcast episode on the Minimum Viable DayHomeschool Better Together CommunityFor full show notes and a transcript of today’s episode, head to pambarnhill.com/hsbt42Mentioned in this episode:Advent Plans
