What happens when a mom of four starts homeschooling during a pandemic… and ends up launching a co-op that changes everything?

In this episode, Britt talks with Melissa—a mother of four who never planned to homeschool but felt compelled to try. What began as a temporary solution turned into a complete lifestyle shift, one that led to starting her own co-op, transforming how her family learns, and discovering a deeper connection to her kids.

She shares what sparked their decision, what keeps her going, and the one powerful question that changed the way they homeschool for good.
