Hey, friends, it's Ginny from the 1000 Hours Outside podcast. Every Sunday this September, we are easing into homeschool together. This week I'm joined by Maeve Jemison, author of Home is Where the Truth is, Why You Can and Should Home School Your Child. We are busting the biggest myths. We're talking about starting mid-year, and sharing real-life ways working

and single parents can make homeschool fit. We'll also get practical about organization,

chores, and why homeschool is the ultimate individualized education plan. Even if you don't

homeschool, you'll find simple ideas for calmer school nights, think read alouds, screenlight rhythms,

and quick resets when everyone is at the end of their rope. So grab your coffee, take a deep breath, and press play with me. Make sure you're following the show and share this with a friend who needs a hopeful nudge for the week ahead. If I get my kid to phone, I'll be able to keep in touch with them all the time. They'll be on it all the time. He could walk to school by himself.

She could see something, she shouldn't. He could chat with grandma. Friends, trolls. They can access anything on the internet. They can access anything on the internet.

Welcome to the 1000 Hours Outside podcast. My name is Ginny Hurch. I'm the founder of 1000 Hours Outside.

And I have a friend here today that we've met in person,

which is really, really special. We've met actually twice at the Florida Parent Educator Association

Convention, FPEA. And we've hung out there and talked about writing books. And here you are with your

actual book and you have a podcast. The book is called Home

is where the truth is why you can and should homeschool your child. Maeve Jemison, welcome.

Thanks for having me, Jenny. I'm blessed to be here. So we spent this time together. It must

have been a couple years ago and then you wrote a book. Yes, but let me back up a little because I remember the first time you brought your

cute little curly head to FPEA.

So I've been watching you, listening to your podcast and doing our thousand hours outside

ever since you came to FPEA, which was many years ago, and you got up there

on stage with Heidi St. John, and I saw the Lord working in that. Do you remember that?

I do. Actually, that is so wild that you brought that up, because I remember thinking,

how did I get here? Right. You're sitting next to Heidi St. John, right? It was like,

it was amazing to see. And it was amazing to see your humility and everything you said was amazing.
