138: Help! I don’t know who I am anymore. 3 Steps To Rediscover Your Dreams

In 2018, God placed on my heart to start a podcast helping homeschool moms manage the many demands of their unique lifestyles. Through the years, I saw how my message also applied to other women. I also learned about leadership topics and life coaching. As I started working with women during my life coach training, I realized that what really lit me up was helping women pursue their dreams while still serving their families well.I started feeling God calling me to broaden my message and rebrand my business. I've gone back and forth about what to do and who God is calling me to serve. I finally realized that I can show up as all of me. I can talk about our homeschool journey, my struggle with a chronic health issue, and being a solopreneur. The valuable lessons I learn through each of these experiences have global applications. You can learn from them and apply them to your unique situation. I'm excited to embark on this new journey! The content of the podcast will be shifting a little. (You can learn about that in the trailer episode just before this one.) I'll be focusing more on finding permission to pursue your dreams your way, practical solutions to challenges you might face, and tips for becoming a more influential leader. I hope you enjoy the new focus and find ways to apply what you learn to your life.Now that you know the story of the pivot, I want to share my winding story.Related episodes and resources mentioned:Triumphant LearningMy Homeschool Story7 Pillars of Purposeful ImpactLife CoachingKeep dreaming!CrystalSupport the show&gt;&gt; Free 7 Pillars of Purposeful Impact: Lay a foundation to pursue your dreams and increase your influencehttps://crystalwagner.net/7pillars/ &gt;&gt; Impact Coaching: A personalized journey of learning who you are and leaning into your strengths so you can have the confidence to pursue your dreams in a way that aligns with your values and allows you to serve your family well.https://crystalwagner.net/coaching/&gt;&gt; Workshops and Trainings: Join an encouraging, practical, and transformative training designed to equip you to pursue your dreams and become a more influential leader.https://crystalwagner.net/speaking/ Love the show?

Welcome to the Purposeful Impact podcast!

Recounting a personal tale involving my tech-savvy daughter and my mother-in-law, we navigate the tricky business of 'passing the baton' as our children mature. Just as a relay race requires trust, timing, and knowing when to release control, so does the transition into more responsibility for our kids. We'll break down this metamorphosis into three digestible stages - recognizing the transition time, letting go for their growth, and trusting in their ability to handle the responsibility.

Instead, Kerri Bazzell, a homeschool mom of three, reminds us that sometimes the journey is part of the lesson we need to learn.We also talked about her favorite books, how she loops back to read family favorites with her younger children, how she finds time to fit in reading as a homeschool mom, and how a special drink party can make Shakespeare or literature time more special.<a href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/2048373/support" rel="payment nofollow" target="_blank">Support the show</a> &gt;&gt; Free 7 Pillars of Purposeful Impact: Lay a foundation to pursue your dreams and increase your influence <a href="https://crystalwagner.net/7pillars/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://crystalwagner.net/7pillars/</a> &gt;&gt; Impact Coaching: A personalized journey of learning who you are and leaning into your strengths so you can have the confidence to pursue your dreams in a way that aligns with your values and allows you to serve your family well. <a href="https://crystalwagner.net/coaching/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://crystalwagner.net/coaching/</a> &gt;&gt; Workshops and Trainings: Join an encouraging, practical, and transformative training designed to equip you to pursue your dreams and become a more influential leader. <a href="https://crystalwagner.net/speaking/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://crystalwagner.net/speaking/</a> Love the show?

Holly Howard

Holly reminds us of how important it is to create an atmosphere where the whole family can find joy. She knew homeschooling would be the best fit for her son.

15: How do I stay focused when there are so many great ideas?!

I cannot force my children to learn. It is their responsibility to learn. It is my responsibility to provide a learning-rich environment and direct their learning. I had mentioned this many times to my daughters, but one day it finally clicked.We were planning their summer learning, and as I explained that they had an opportunity to take full control of their learning for the summer, a light bulb finally turned on. My daughter’s face lit up. I could see the wheels start to turn as she thought about what she wanted to learn that summer.How to help your child assume responsibility for his educationI use various strategies to help my children assume responsibility for their education, including the following.Talk about their role. The concept of assuming responsibility for our education is contrary to much of what we hear from society. Begin talking about this concept when they are young and talk about it often.Encourage your children to read. In addition to reading school books, I require that my children read in their free time. Stop planning summer learning. Help your children develop their summer learning plan, but allow them to be in charge.Teach your children about learning styles. When your children are young, you need to provide a learning environment that best meets their needs. As they mature, they should learn how to create an appropriate study environment.Find ways for your children to learn from others. When they are young, your children could learn from grandparents, your spouse, a sibling, or a co-op class. As they enter the high school years, you could also include dual enrollment, correspondence courses, or MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses). When others are planning and coordinating their learning, don’t jump in. Allow your children to experience different teaching styles and expectations.Help your children develop study skills. When they are young, focus on learning to read and narrate. Over time, incorporate developing time management skills, learning different note-taking styles, practicing taking tests, learning how to learn from various sources (living books, textbooks, online courses, etc.), and creating good study habits. My daughter learned a lot from Cal Newport’s book, How to Become a Straight-A Student.As we strive to help our children assume responsibility for their education, there are six steps we can keep in mind to equip and encourage them on the journey.Start with conversations about why you learn.Set an example and be a lifelong learner.Set clear expectations and ensure your child understands them.Provide training.Provide accountability and quaSupport the show&gt;&gt; Free 7 Pillars of Purposeful Impact: Lay a foundation to pursue your dreams and increase your influencehttps://crystalwagner.net/7pillars/ &gt;&gt; Impact Coaching: A personalized journey of learning who you are and leaning into your strengths so you can have the confidence to pursue your dreams in a way that aligns with your values and allows you to serve your family well.https://crystalwagner.net/coaching/&gt;&gt; Workshops and Trainings: Join an encouraging, practical, and transformative training designed to equip you to pursue your dreams and become a more influential leader.https://crystalwagner.net/speaking/ Love the show?

39: Consistency Tips For Homeschool Moms

Have you noticed homeschooling often feels like being in a refiner’s fire? There are days it seems you accomplish no schoolwork because you spend the whole day addressing character issues—yours or your children’s. This is frustrating when you already have so much to do and want to check things off your list.Instead of allowing this to overwhelm and frustrate you, embrace these moments. In this episode, I share four tips for embracing your time in the homeschool refiner’s fire and how it is beneficial in the long run.Four tips for embracing challenging situationsRecognize this is an investment.Build margin into your schedule.Be a helper, not an adversary.Seek input from your spouse.The story of the refiner's fire:As she watched the silversmith, he held a piece of silver over the fire and let it heat up. He explained that in refining silver, one needed to hold the silver in the middle of the fire where the flames were hottest as to burn away all the impurities. The woman thought about God holding us in such a hot spot; then she thought again about the verse that says: ‘He sits as a refiner and purifier of silver.’ (Malachi 3:3) She asked the silversmith if it was true that he had to sit there in front of the fire the whole time the silver was being refined. The man answered that yes, he not only had to sit there holding the silver, but he had to keep his eyes on the silver the entire time it was in the fire. If the silver was left a moment too long in the flames, it would be destroyed. The woman was silent for a moment. Then she asked the silversmith, ‘How do you know when the silver is fully refined?’ He smiled at her and answered, ‘Oh, that’s easy — when I see my image in it.’ (source unknown) See the full show notes:  https://www.triumphantlearning.com/how-to-overcome-three-obstacles-of-a-successful-homeschool/#AHD006Support the show&gt;&gt; Free 7 Pillars of Purposeful Impact: Lay a foundation to pursue your dreams and increase your influencehttps://crystalwagner.net/7pillars/ &gt;&gt; Impact Coaching: A personalized journey of learning who you are and leaning into your strengths so you can have the confidence to pursue your dreams in a way that aligns with your values and allows you to serve your family well.https://crystalwagner.net/coaching/&gt;&gt; Workshops and Trainings: Join an encouraging, practical, and transformative training designed to equip you to pursue your dreams and become a more influential leader.https://crystalwagner.net/speaking/ Love the show?
