I’m Demetria, your host, and I’ve created this podcast as a place to pause, reflect, and connect with a community that understands the joys and challenges of motherhood, parenting, and midlife transitions. After 14 years of sharing stories, encouragement, and insights with the Christian Homeschool Moms Podcast, this new chapter expands beyond homeschooling. Here, we talk openly about faith, family, personal growth, and the everyday moments that shape our hearts and homes. Whether you’re navigating the early years, raising teens, sending kids off to college, or stepping into the empty nest, you’ll find stories, reflections, and practical tips to help you embrace life with grace, faith, and purpose. Think of this as our café—a place to gather, encourage one another, pray, share, and be inspired. No matter what season of motherhood you’re in, this podcast is here to remind you that you’re not alone, and that together, we can navigate the journey of faith and family with love, honesty, and heart.","last_synced_at":null,"page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/christian-moms-caf-formerly-christian-homeschool-moms-1390743"},"episode":{"title":"CHM177:How to Stay Present as a Parent When Your Kids Are Away At School All Day","slug":"chm177-how-to-stay-present-as-a-parent-when-your-kids-are-away-at-school-all-day","published_at":"2025-10-18T03:08:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/christian-moms-caf-formerly-christian-homeschool-moms-1390743/chm177-how-to-stay-present-as-a-parent-when-your-kids-are-away-at-school-all-day","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/christian-moms-caf-formerly-christian-homeschool-moms-1390743","url":"http://www.christianhomeschoolmoms.com/podcast-2","audio_url":"https://episodes.captivate.fm/episode/55df59ae-91dc-43c6-9496-dbb9628a7e71.mp3","summary":"When your kids transition from being home with you every day to spending most of their time at school, it can shift everything — the rhythms, the conversations, even the way you connect. In this episode, we’re talking about how to stay present as a parent through those changes — how to give your kids the space they need to grow while still staying emotionally close. I’ll share what this looks like in my own home now that my daughter’s in school full-time, and how I’ve learned to navigate that new balance of letting go while staying connected. Whether your kids are in a hybrid program, a co-op, or full-time school, this one’s for every parent learning how to keep those heart connections strong as family life evolves. --- //MENTIONED ON THE PODCAST// https://christianhomeschoolmoms.com/leslie-martino-homeschooling-slower-pace/ (Why Slowing Down Helps Kids Thrive with Leslie Martino, Episode 173) 🔔 Announcements: Doors are open for new members at the Christian Women Podcasters Network!
