Episode 21 – Finding Authentic Friendship, Connection, and Community with Other Homeschool CEO Families with Jen Myers

August 14, 2020

It can be lonely being a Homeschool CEO because we usually don’t fit into the typical homeschool mom stereotype. But did you know that this can also affect our kids and that they can feel isolated and lonely too?

Today, I open up and share about my life-long mission to build authentic connection and community among everyone I meet (including kids). I share the experience of how a friend’s suicide affected who I am today, and why I believe we all need to be proactive in helping our kids (and ourselves) find their tribe.

If you’ve ever felt like you just didn’t fit in with “stereotypical” homeschooling families, this episode will serve as a sweet reminder that there are other CEO’s just like you! Learn how you too can connect with others who are more like us.

PLUS, I reveal how a recent experience helped me realize that the Homeschool CEO Society I started is not really just for moms but for their families too. Spoiler Alert!

If you want to find out what the future holds for Homeschool CEO Society and how you and your family can take part in my groundbreaking idea, tune in to this episode for my exciting announcement.

  • why it can be lonely being a Homeschool CEO
  • how the idea of building the Homeschool CEO community came to be

  • why I believe that loneliness starts in childhood
  • how I realized that the Homeschool CEO community is not just for moms but for their families as well
  • how I came up with the groundbreaking idea of creating a FREE international virtual co-op for kids as an additional perk for Homeschool CEO Society members

Your child might have ADHD and might say the wrong things, or maybe has a learning challenge or anything. But I promise you, there’s another kid somewhere in the world that has the same issues, that all they’re hoping and praying for is a friend just like your child.

It really came from this driving force to understand ‘community’ and to realize that there’s no good and there’s no bad in our strengths and our weaknesses. Like, those are just names that we put on them to identify them. But really, what it is is we’re just identifying our differences.

Gold quote icon
Now in our current generation, we’re so disconnected from ourselves and others. And the problem with that is that we’re setting up children to live a life of isolation and loneliness. If we don’t teach them how to make the connections when they’re younger, they struggle as adults.
