Episode 400 – Celebrating 400 Episodes of Encouraging Homeschoolers to Smile

Welcome back to the Smiling Homeschooler podcast! In this special episode, we’re celebrating 400 episodes of The Smiling Homeschooler and taking some time to reflect on the journey so far. We look back at the very beginning, including our first episode and talk about what led us to start the podcast in the first place. We revisit the heart behind The Smiling Homeschooler—encouraging families, bringing a little humor to the journey, and reminding parents that they’re not alone. We also spend some time sharing a few of our favorite guests and moments over the years, and how those conversations have impacted us personally Finally, we talk about where we hope to go from here and what we’d love the next 400 episodes to look like as we continue encouraging homeschoolers to smile. Before we get started, we want to thank Teaching Textbooks for making what we do possible. They help thousands of homeschoolers smile every day, and if you haven’t checked them out yet, you can do so at teachingtextbooks.com.
