160. Home. School. Redefined. with Amy Schantzen

In this episode we have Amy!  An amazing momma who made the difficult decision to “retire” from her career as a full spectrum small town family physician to homeschool. 

Amy's family is really interesting because they do what she calls, "hybrid school". They live in a small town, her oldest two (8, 5) go to public school in the afternoons, and her youngest two go to daycare three days a week.

She's a self-described homeschooling rebel 😂  (but we think she's a wonderful example of someone who's thoroughly explored the possibilities and found what works well in her family and small community).
