Discover how "Story Driven," a creative writing board game, is reimagining what learning looks like for kids! ✍️ In this episode of the Homeschool Yo Kids podcast, Michael Clay, a multimedia visual storyteller and teaching artist, shares his journey of empowering students through innovative education. Inspired by years of volunteering and teaching, Michael developed "Story Driven" to make writing fun and accessible for learners of all levels, from early emergent to fluent writers.
This game is more than just fun—it's a dynamic tool for fostering creativity, building confidence, and encouraging a growth mindset.

Michael L. Clay is the CEO & Multimedia Visual Storyteller of Driven by Design Creative Agency LLC “DBD”. DBD is a Multimedia Visual Marketing company that specializes in the art mediums of videography, photography, creative writing and teaching for small to large businesses/organizations who service children and families. After a decade of research through volunteering and programming, Michael developed a successful residency called the Art of Visual Storytelling “AVS” (https://dbdcreativeagency.com/visual-storytelling/).
AVS develops and enhances student understanding of the English Language Arts (ELA) through creative writing and film production right in their classroom.Writing became a fun activity for the students in his classroom. He enjoyed watching those “light up moments” when their ideas and the concept presented clicked and became one. The teachers who came in contact with the Art of Visual Storytelling residency wanted it year-round, but without funding they could only do it once or twice a year. Michael desired to efficiently spread this experience out to others year-round. That's when he began to formulate his residency into the concept of a game.
Story Driven: Unlocking Writer’s Block (https://dbdcreativeagency.com/story-driven/) is a creative writing board game that helps its players become the writers they never thought they could be. Story Driven caters to all levels of writers including, but not limited to early emergent, emergent, transitional and fluent writers.

Homeschooling? You’re already doing it! 💡 In this episode of the Homeschool Yo Kids Podcast, Jae dives into a heartfelt and inspiring conversation with Morgan, founder of Base CampED, a groundbreaking community-building app for homeschoolers and beyond. They explore the power of finding your tribe, creative ways to simplify your homeschool journey, and reimagining what learning looks like for modern families. Morgan shares her personal homeschooling story, including balancing work, raising three young boys, and creating an innovative platform that connects families, educators, and resources nationwide.
Discover how Base CampED is empowering students and families to create a flexible learning environment, build a supportive homeschool community, and embrace a growth mindset for student success. This episode is packed with practical insights, motivational stories, and expert advice for anyone considering homeschooling or looking to enhance their homeschool experience.
https://www.basecamped.com/
Morgan is a mom of 3 young boys, a wife, and the founder of a new community building app called BaseCampEd. Prior to starting BaseCampEd, Morgan spent over a decade working as a corporate recruiter, learning firsthand the challenges that come with balancing a career and family. Making matters even more complex, her family moves every 2-3 years due to her husband’s job. This made building a community all the more difficult.
As her oldest son was approaching Kindergarten, her interest in homeschooling started to grow. She wanted to take control of her children's education while also being able to support her family. This led to the idea of BaseCampEd. She thought, if there was a way to connect with local parents to create family co-ops to share some of the duties and also to explore educational resources all in one place, it could make homeschooling that much more accessible.
This amazing platform launched in February 2025 and she is so excited for the future of this community.

Journey Krajnik Bio: I am Journey, a proud homeschool graduate, bold dyslexic, history nerd, and wellness enthusiast. I was raised on a small homestead (before it was cool!) in beautiful Northern Michigan. My family originally chose to homeschool to secure family time during my dad's odd construction working hours. However, we quickly realized family time was just one of the many benefits of this lifestyle. As I grew, I pursued various passions, one of which happened to be theatre. I was able to spend my teen years writing, producing, and directing plays for my school group. Looking back. I realize these high school years were extremely valuable for my growth as a person and a community member. I want as many other homeschoolers as possible to recognize the value of these years. So, I have tailored presentations to address homeschooling parents and their teens. By sharing my experiences and the lessons I learned, I offer guidance and cheerleading to those struggling during these potentially tumultuous years.Now, I am a speaker, wellness influencer, and founder of the education company OurVenture. My mission is to inspire and encourage those who choose to live off the beaten path. I look forward to meeting you soon!

Nick Robinson started the Homeschool Helper YouTube channel back in 2021 with a simple mission: to make homeschooling easier, more fun and a better experience for everyone. Nick knew he wanted to help young people however he could when he was 13 and had a powerful experience on a mission trip to Romania. He graduated with a BA in English and a passion for teaching literature and writing to private Christian school students. After two years of that, Nick got married to his lovely wife, Rachel and they both went to work for Sky Ranch Summer Camps out in East Texas –Nick as an outdoor education teacher and Rachel as the store manager. Four years and one daughter later, Nick and Rachel took a big swing and moved to Houston where Nick took a job as a youth pastor. That was 2010 and now they have three lovely kids and have been homeschooling ever since their oldest started first grade. It hasn’t always been easy, and there have been moments where they almost threw in the towel, but they are part of a loving, nurturing community with Classical Conversations and are planning to go all the way through. Nick remains a youth pastor, and hopes to continue doing so until they won’t let him anymore. Nick is passionate about classical homeschool education, and wants to continue to provide helpful resources for as many homeschool families as will listen to him!

At OWHP, Lori hosted events for the special needs community, fundraised, worked in conjunction with the City of McDonough to build a half million dollar all accessible all-inclusive playground, created community awareness, and started a private school for children with special needs and learning disabilities. At this school, she started the ICONIX® program that integrated the neurological hierarchies of learning into the classrooms and saw amazing results!
As homeschool parents, Lori and her husband learned first-hand how challenging homeschooling can be! Not knowing what to do or where to begin, they had a lot to learn, particularly since they were dealing with a super smart child who was struggling with academics. It was during the homeschooling years that they discovered ICONIX®. When
Lori started the school, she brought ICONIX® to the game – which really meant becoming a Developmental Educator, learning the natural neurological development of all humans and how to make sure that the child’s developmental maturation matched the academic demands being placed on the child. This understanding created a suddenly successful student out of her son years earlier, and consequently, out of several of the students at the special needs school.
Lori recently stepped out of her role at the school to build her ICONIX® Learning Clinic in Atlanta and help create awareness of the ICONIX® methodology. You will often hear her tell the people in her community, “While I was at the school, I could help up to forty children each year. Now, the number of struggling learners I can help has become UNLIMITED! And THAT makes my heart happy!”

https://integrativesexed.com/
ISE is a non-doctrinal sex ed program for parents and older teens to discuss sexuality in a meaningful way. Rather than presenting specific ideas as Truth, ISE provides a brief neutral overview of all perspectives, inviting parents and teens to come to their own conclusions as to which ideas should be criticized and which should be elevated. Sex Ed for teens age 14 and up is entirely different than the protective Sex Ed appropriate for younger children. Your teens are on the cusp of adulthood. Give them the best possible launch.

My name is Mary Middlebrook. I'm a former homeschool mom and independent homeschool educator (www.nextlevelhomeschool.com). Back when I started homeschooling in 2006, it was a constant struggle to find educational curriculum and opportunities for my son. But as you know, in the past few years there has been an explosion of educational opportunities from amazing educators around the world and families seeking those resources. The problem is how do people find them.
I recently started a new website called IndyEd.com. It's the first database of its kind that allows educators to list their online classes, downloadables, books, kits, in-person experiences, and more into one easily searchable database so learners can quickly find what they need. Learners can search by secular/religious, age, subject, neurodivergencies, and more. We don't sell education on IndyEd.com- we simply connect learners with educators. It's a long overdue solution to a growing problem. Homeschool Yo Kids Podcast shares organic conversations that promote confidence, a growth mindset, and are filled with inspiration and good energy.

On this episode, Nature Speaks' Founder, Rachel shares her love for raising and nurturing horses, how important it is to learn self-sustainability, the benefits of horse manure, the healing capabilities that horses possess, the many programs they offer homeschoolers, and she gives us a tour of the farm.
https://www.nature-speaks.com/our-story.html
Rachel Ibarra2:14 PM (8 minutes ago)to meNature Speaks was created from a very personal tragedy that changed who I am. While riding my leased horse Jazz, in the woods of Palm Beach Gardens, the horse collapsed underneath me and I slid on my face in the sand where I landed superman style. When the horse stood back up she stepped on the back of my hand breaking my pinky finger in half. Three days later, while I was in and out of plastic surgery to put my face back on in the hospital, Jazz was hit by lightning in her pasture and killed. I was devastated. Now in addition to my body being broken, my spirit was too! I cried for days.
At the time I owned a public relations firm called NozNewz Communications, Inc. I represented businesses, non profit organizations and government entities in Palm Beach County for almost 20 years.
During my recovery I read voraciously! The book that changed my life is called the Tao of Equus by therapist and horsewoman Linda Kohanov. She writes about her experiences living with her herd of horses and using those experiences to help others through the practice of equine therapy. I studied her model of equine therapy and those of other practitioners but I felt a little empty. Equine therapy is ground work with the horse only. It does not include riding. But to me and the kids I wanted to work with, riding the horse is an important component to empowerment. So I created a life skills program called "Who's in Your Herd?" which teaches about making good decisions in life in a very simple way. Decisions which will affect the future path of a youngster and we use the horses as our facilitators/teachers assistants. As horses live in herds, so do people but our herds change throughout the day and throughout our lives. We use the philosophy of taking care of the horses as a metaphor for taking care of oneself.
So my future path became more clear and I took a risk by taking an equity loan out on my home and started Nature Speaks with the money. I knew that horses helped me in my recovery and I was desperate to share that with others who needed personal growth.
Rachel Ibarra is an approved contractor for all Florida public schools and was a member of the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office COP Mounted Unit for five years. Nature Speaks offers western riding lessons, homeschool programs and field trips, Equine Assisted Learning workshops and summer and winter break activities.

Season 2- Episode 55On this episode, homeschool mom, Donna, shares her experience with raising her gifted daughter, how important it is to grow your child's emotional intelligence, the benefits of homeschooling gifted kids, the early signs she recognized in her child, how vital community is, and the advocacy she does for parents of gifted children.https://athenasacademy.com/Donna Metler is a long time educator, at every level from infants to adults, whose greatest teaching challenge came when, to her horror, her baby hadn’t read the “normal child development milestones” and instead, chose to progress in their own, asynchronous, manner. This led to a journey of gifted/2e homeschooling which included starting interest based clubs and organizations, taking and teaching online classes, facilitating independent projects, attending international conferences with a teen presenter, locating outside mentors, and supporting a child attending early college. Donna currently teaches music at Singleton Community Center in Bartlett, TN, mentors and supports homeschoolers in the local community, and moderates and mentors junior instructors at Athena’s Advanced Academy, an Cognia accredited online program offering a la carte classes to meet the needs of gifted and 2e students. Donna’s workshops and 1-1 mentoring involve looking at a child where they are and figuring out a roadmap…while being ready for your child to light the roadmap on fire and throw it out the window at any moment, and enjoying the trip wherever it leads. Donna’s in person classes offer opportunities for children to engage joyously in music, regardless of neurotype.

In my twenties, I became a Waldorf teacher. I taught first-graders how to read using a traditional phonics-based approach combined with Waldorf multi-sensory methods.Later, I became a reading interventionist and I put together my signature reading program, incorporating best practices from many different sources, including the latest research on the teaching and learning of reading.Interesting fact: I'm a "second generation" reading teacher. My father was a reading and writing teacher for over fifty years, and my sister teaches reading to ESL students. It is in the family!I currently study in the Master's Program in Literacy at the University of Cincinnati. My goal is to complete advanced research on reading assessment which will help differentiate different "types" of dyslexia. I have three children, a husband, and one cat, and my hobby is growing plum trees!

On this episode, teacher, Ruth, shares the importance of making learning fun, the need to be able to effectively communicate an idea, her catalog of books, the long-term effects of social media, the value in trusting your kids, some of the life skills we should focus on building up in our kids, and ensuring that kids put more focus on the solution than the problem.
http://www.artbyruth.com/
Award-winning artist and author Ruth A. Douthitt has been drawing and writing since an early age. An Arizona native, she first was inspired by her fourth grade teacher to learn more about the fine arts and to make it her life's endeavor. Later, her high school English teacher entered her poetry into a contest that she won. Her art teacher gave her many challenging class assignments that helped her win two scholarships to study art in college.
She has had a one-woman show in New Bern, North Carolina where she and her husband were stationed with the USMC. It was there that Ruth developed a love of wildlife art and drawing animals. She did "pet portraits" while working at Ballantyne Framing & Art. She also was able to sell her watercolors there as well. Back in Arizona, she began painting portraits of children. First she started painting friend's kids and pets, but that grew into a business. Her commissions increased thanks to positive "word of mouth" reviews from clients.
Her clients range from Police officers, lawyers, and Superior court Judges to stay-at-home moms and grandmothers: all wanting realistic portraits of their beloved children or grandchildren. It was around this time that Ruth drafted a story she had in mind ever since her time in North Carolina...a story about dragons.
She completed her B.A. in Visual Arts from ASU and a Masters degree in Education from University of Phoenix. Ruth has taught art at Glendale Community College and is a member of the Arizona Watercolor Association. She finally had her first book published in 2011, "The Dragon Forest." Since then, she has had several more books released, including the 2017 Moonbeam Children's Book Award Bronze Medal award-winning "The Children" series. As an award-winning author of books for middle grade readers, Ruth decided to blend her art and her writing. She has illustrated many books: "The White Wolf," "Dragon Games," "Dragon Riders," and "The Road to Home." In 2023, she released her first coloring book! She plans on releasing many more...And, finally after 34 years in the making, she released her first picture book, "Peter and the Dragon Forest," with illustrations by her husband.

Season 2- Episode 44
On this episode, Author & Parent Coach, Ashley, shares her passion for assisting parents, her book "Protecting Your Greatest Investment", going against the grain and breaking parenting cycles, the importance of ensuring your children know they are loved, and how vital it is to learn about your child through conversation.
protectingyourgreatestinvestment.com
My name is Ashley Jefferies and I am an author, speaker,parenting coach, wife, and mother to an amazing 11 year old son. In my career as a speech-language pathologist, I have always enjoyed working with children and watching them succeed. Equally important, I have enjoyed working with various families, supplying them with knowledge and skills to help with their child’s development.
Later in life, I went back to school and received a second master’s degree in educational psychology. The knowledge I gained from my studies prompted me to write a book geared towards parents and caregivers of children that highlights the needs of children that sometimes go unmet and some of the potential consequences when important needs are not met. I have a passion for children, and I understand that setting children up for success later in life begins in the home. My desire is to assist parents in going beyond simply providing the basic needs of food, clothing, and shelter for their children. I want parents to meet the unspoken needs of their children as well.
Working in home health and Greenville County Schools as a speech-language pathologist has taught me a lot about the impact a child’shome life can have on future success. It is vitally important that we asparents strive to provide a home environment that allows our childrento grow and flourish. That is the reason I wrote the book Protecting Your Greatest Investment: Investing in the Needs of Children and started Flourishing Futures: “Empowering Your Child for Lifelong Success,” a twelve-week group/individual coaching program for parents of children ages 5-12. Through research and experience, I wanted to offer resources to assist parents as they navigate the challenges of parenthood and strive to provide the best possible home environment for their children to be successful.

Season 2- Episode 37
On this episode, founder of Uniquely Northern & 7Sisters Holistic Insitute, Michele, shares her passion for hypno-therapy and helping to heal trauma, the importance of incorporating fun and creativity into your life, homeschooling her son, recognizing the power of time with your children, and how she balances working and homeschooling.
Seven Sisters Holistic Healing Institute (sevensistersinstitute.com)UniQuely Northern Hypnosis - Live an Inspired Life! ™I started working with children when I was in University at 25 years old, volunteering with Child Protective Services. Helping children see the possibilities in life has always been my passion. I was blessed to have a solid upbringing with lots of exposure to education, travel, and different cultures and experiences and wanted these opportunities to be available to all children. Though I graduated as a civil engineer, following in my father’s footsteps, my mother had a Master’s Degree in Social Work so I was always passionate about mentoring and sharing knowledge. The power of the mind fascinated me and I learned as much as I could about harnessing our innate power to create miracles in our lives.
During the 2008 financial incident, I adopted my son Jonathan at birth. This incident also allowed me the time to be a mother while studying hypnosis as a tool to harness the power of the subconscious mind. I trained and became a Master Hypnotherapist and was soon transforming people’s lives. Having been raised in Jamaica, I saw that the American culture did not promote a lot of the core values with which I was raised, such as self-reliance, a determination to be happy and succeed, and an appreciation for the simple things in life which make life such a rich experience. This inspired me to share these values with my community, which I have been proactively been doing since 2010.
The greatest gift which has come out of the 2020 incident is that humanity has returned to living in community. My son was home with me and we began homeschooling. I have always wanted to be the number one influence in my son’s life, so this was a dream come true. I believe that we are supposed to live in Truth, Joy, and Love in every moment of every day and I share these values with my international community through my nonprofit, Seven Sisters Holistic Healing Institute (https://sevensistersinstitute.com/ ).

On this episode, Jara, Homeschool Mom of 2 shares her passion for raising her young men, her focus on healing 'self', honoring the leading role you have in your young learner's life, the importance of knowing your history and understanding your culture.
Jara's Bio: Jara, mother of two boys, has been living with her family in Norfolk, Virginia since 2005. Prior to children She held several job titles ranging from waitress to executive assistant. She graduated from Norfolk State University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology. Currently she is a Commit and Mixxedfit instructor, and she is also certified in 1st Aid, AED, and CPR. Relatively new to the Dance Fitness scene, she received her Mixxedfit Certification in September 2018 and began teaching in February 2019. Fitness is my passion.
After having her children, she found herself heavier than she had ever been. At the time she had been telling her oldest son, then 5 that the three main components to a healthy life included 1. Eating, 2. Sleeping and 3. Exercising. Soon she realized she wasn’t following her own words, and immediately decided upon a gym membership with the YMCA. After enrolling, she began trying class after class until she fell in love with Zumba. After about a year of consistency she required more challenge and got introduced to the then Hip Hop Class, now called MIXXEDFIT. There she learned dealt with some harsh truths about her own self love. Through discipline and consistency, she began to witness not only her physical form change but her mindset change.
Jara is grateful for her fitness experience, and to all those who have influenced her on her journey. She strives to honor those instructors who have aided her on and off the dance floor, through her classes and in her personal lifestyle. She has a strong love of fitness and a dedicated practice, and hopes to share that love and dedication with anyone who is willing to get on the floor. Her goal is to help individuals realize that fitness is more mental than it is physical and growth through fitness can be an all encompassing change of mind, body, and spirit. Due to her experience as a young single black fit-activist mother, BREATHE was born. Breathe is a book that teaches you how to make good healthy smoothies in a simple and delicious way. It is a collaboration of smoothie recipes that she put together to assist families, individuals, women, men and children alike to build resiliency everyday and live healthy eternally. She has taken the holistic approach to help her through her journey modeling, her fitness and healthy food lifestyle.

Jean currently travels across the United States as well as other countries speaking about how to go to college for FREE!
As a homeschooling mom, Jean did not have the financial resources to send her children to college. When she discovered the SAT & PSAT were the keys to getting huge scholarships, she began to research the tests to understand how to prepare her children for them. She discovered that these tests could be taught! They weren’t IQ tests, but rather critical thinking exams. After both her children received full-ride scholarships, Jean began teaching these secrets to other homeschool, public, private and charter school students.
Her program College Prep Genius is the culmination of more than a decade of research, classroom experience and SAT expertise. Her daughter also earned free grad school and her son earned free law school!

Guest: Nikolai Pizarro @raisingreaders
For over 10 years, Nikolai Pizarro, has worked to empower predominantly Black and Brown parents and caregivers, particularly segments further marginalized by socioeconomic factors, with science based frameworks of early brain development, literacy instruction, non-violent discipline, and self-directed education. Her book, Ring the Alarm, has been used by programs sponsored by Brooklyn Kindergarten Society and the Department of Health. She has facilitated workshops at hundreds of preschools and private early childhood centers, including over 300 Early Start and Head Start Centers.
Over the past 8 years, as her own unschooling journey with her son has unfolded, her work has increasingly included private and small group coaching and collaboration with families looking to transition from conventional schooling to self-directed models and just as importantly, a commitment to reconnect with our assignment to children rather than the school system, curriculum, values, and metrics. "This work is bigger than where and how children do school. This work is in defense of childhood and our divine assignment to center humanity and belonging. " she shares.
As a response to the collective disconnection throughout the covid pandemic, she started the facebook group BIPOC-led Homeschooling & Communities of Care SUPPORT, for BIPOC families and co-conspirators committed to Black and Brown liberation with now over 3,000 members, a free community text line, 404-737-1065, which reminds parents to center humanity at home, an early literacy system (The Foundation Bag), and has initiated a project to turn her own home into a self-directed, forest school and permaculture, mixed age co-op.
She is also the creator of a free adaptable arts-ed curriculum, B.A.E. Black Art Excursion, consultant with Anahsa Consulting, and a certified Forest School Director.
