Episode Notes

Have you ever looked at the clock at 2:00 PM and realized—yet again—you haven’t started math? You’re doing all the things, but nothing ever feels like enough.

I’ve been there. I was juggling medical appointments, babies 16 months apart, portfolio requirements, and never-ending laundry. I lived in a constant state of anxiety, never feeling caught up or good enough. I knew something had to change, but I didn’t want a rigid schedule that would just make me feel like more of a failure.

That’s when I discovered the power of anchor-based rhythms—and it completely shifted the way our homeschool flowed. In this episode, I’ll show you the 3 anchor points that gently shape our day and how they brought our family more peace (without adding more to my plate).

If you’ve been chasing a perfect routine, let me show you a better way—one that works with your real life, not against it.

I even included 3 bonus tools—like loop scheduling and the Daily 3—to make this so doable, even on hard days.
