Be honest. When you imagine a mom homeschooling, running a business, and taking college exams at the same time… what do you picture? Chaos? Burnout? Constant interruptions? Because, what surprised me most is that my life feels calmer now than it did when I was younger and only responsible for myself. I just finished Accounting Level One and instead of stress, I felt grounded. Supported. Regulated. I wrote a blog breaking down what this actually looks like. From slow mornings and crockpot meals to movement while learning and clear boundaries during exams. https://www.anamiroots.com/post/learning-calm-how-motherhood-prepared-me-for-school-more-than-i-ever-expected If you’re a mom who’s studying, dreaming of studying, or just tired of hustle culture, this one’s for you.

There was a moment I couldn’t ignore anymore. "When My Daughter’s Spark Dimmed, I Knew I Had to Leave" Blog Post My daughter used to come home from the playground full of stories. The swing.

We are often told to stay for the kids. But I learned something different. We leave for the kids. If this resonates, trust yourself. Your intuition is not wrong 🤍 Go check out my new Blog Post where I go a bit deeper into this subject and share my story .

We rarely talk about this very real piece of parenting. We have to be careful with the children we allow around our children. And before anyone tightens their jaw, let me say this clearly. This is not about believing our kids are better than other kids. This is not about shaming families. And this is definitely not about pretending compassion means having no boundaries.

Children are constantly compared, ranked, and expected to perform on timelines that do not honor their bodies, nervous systems, or emotional readiness. After a recent experience with my child, I felt called to write about why readiness matters more than advancement and why moving slowly is not a step backward. This blog is an invitation to rethink how we define growth. https://www.anamiroots.com/post/let-s-let-the-kids-grow-at-their-own-pace
