After more than 18 months away, I’m back — and this episode gets honest about what that season really looked like.

I share how grief, overwhelm, and life changes brought me to a full stop… and how that pause helped me restart toward a breathable life.

I walk through my belief-to-mindset-to-action apprach — how aligning what I believe, think, and do has changed everything — and end with a simple One Thing for Today: notice where you’re holding your breath, and give yourself permission to release it.

I don’t want this to be a one-way conversation — I’d love to hear from you. If this episode resonated with you — or if you’ve been in a season where catching your breath has felt hard — I’d love to hear from you.

What’s been on your plate lately? What parts of life feel the hardest to breathe through right now?

Email me at hello@ingamasek.com and tell me what you’d love to hear more about this season — or just say hi and let me know you’re listening.You can also share the questions you’d love me to unpack in future episodes. I read every message — and your stories and ideas help shape what comes next here.

Let’s breathe through this season together. 💛

Hi friend,

In this quick update, I'm sharing a little about why things have been quiet lately and why I'm hitting pause to take my advice to reflect, reset, and refresh. To Be still and remember He is still God, especially during the most difficult seasons of our life.

Please know it's certainly not goodbye, just a short break to adjust and come back stronger. In the meantime, I hope you'll subscribe, go back and listen to your favorite episodes, and keep sharing with other moms who need to catch their breath.

Till then, remember - in every challenging season of life or homeschooling, pause. Breathe. And remember, He is God, and we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us.

Thanks for your understanding and all the support!

Hey friend,

Ever feel like you’re waiting for a nod or a green light to just... breathe? To decide what’s truly right for you and your family? You’re not alone.

This episode is all about breaking free from the ‘permission slip’ we think we need—whether it’s to pause for self-care, shift gears, or dive into homeschooling. It’s time to talk about why we stall, waiting for approval that, deep down, we know we don’t need.

Why do we do this to ourselves? Guilt, doubt, fear of judgment—these shadows loom over us, making decisions feel heavier than they should.

We’re diving deep into self-trust (or the lack thereof), the fear of falling behind, and the worry about what others will think. It’s these feelings that often send us seeking validation from anyone but ourselves.

Tune in for a real talk on granting ourselves the permission to live on our terms. Discover strategies to manage the inner critic, celebrate our autonomy in homeschooling, and more.

You’ll learn to embrace planning with flexibility and how to build your own circle of trust for those moments when you crave a bit of backup in your choices.

Though we zero in on homeschooling, this episode is a must-listen if you’ve been waiting for someone else to say “It’s okay” about any aspect of your life.

Listen, breathe easier, and share the journey with a friend. It’s time to claim the power of your choices.

xo,

Inga, your Homeschool Life Coach
