We Were Not The Cool Kids

I'm honored to welcome Cari, a long-time friend and fellow homeschool alum to the podcast today. We reminisce about our deep-rooted friendship, homeschooling experiences, and the unique challenges we faced growing up. Join us as we discuss typical homeschool days, the importance of community, and their quirky extracurricular activities, such as being on a mime team. Cari highlights her role as the eldest sibling adjusting to a constantly changing homeschool schedule and the creative freedom they had. This episode also explores how homeschooling shaped our adulthood, transitioning to college, career decisions, and the invaluable support from their parents and community. 00:00 Welcome to the Podcast 00:34 Childhood Memories and Friendship 01:42 Homeschooling Experiences 04:34 Unique PE Activities 08:09 The Mime Team Adventures 16:05 Christian Homeschooling Challenges 17:29 Adapting to College Life 25:32 Homeschool Community and Support 29:12 Prom Night Reflections 37:33 Transitioning from Homeschool to College 40:04 Parental Support and Career Choices 51:29 Homeschooling Reflections and Advice 56:21 Homeschool Stereotypes and Friendships 01:00:55 Creative Homeschool Projects 01:05:35 Final Thoughts Wanna chat with me?
