Sisters Who Homeschool Podcast
Hi there, we are two sisters living in Queensland, Australia who both chose the homeschool journey for our families.
We have created this little space in the world for homeschooling families to share, celebrate and empower themselves with stories and knowledge, giving our listeners an authentic insight into homeschooling in Australia in all its forms.
Wherever you are, wherever you’re at, thank you for listening to Sisters Who Homeschool and welcome to the wild and wonderful family!
We would love to answer your questions and help you share your stories.
