Your month-by-month roadmap


Hi Reader!

Okay, so you're probably wondering: "Michelle, this sounds great, but what actually happens when I join EverBe?"

Great question. Let me walk you through it.

EverBe is called "Professional Development for Home Educators" for a reason.

We're not just giving you random tips or one-off strategies. We're walking WITH you through every season of your homeschool year, developing real skills in areas like emotional regulation, stress management, communication, problem-solving, and decision-making—skills that make you a more confident, effective educator and parent.

Here's what that looks like when you join in January:

JANUARY: Refresh & Refocus (Mid-Year Reset)

You're joining us right when we're you:

  • Reset with renewed purpose (not guilt about what didn't happen)
  • Adjust plans as needed (because flexibility is strength, not failure)
  • Reignite inspiration (even when you feel totally burned out)
  • Strengthen core practices (so February doesn't feel as hard)

Skills you'll develop: Emotional regulation, stress management, organization, and decision-making

Teaching Toolkit: Each module includes a step-by-step "Teaching Recipe"—a practical framework you can implement immediately, like "The Gentle Restart Framework" for rebuilding routines or "The First Five Momentum Builder" for reigniting motivation.

Plus, we're launching our Book Club with The Lazy Genius Way—learning together how to focus on what matters and let go of the rest.


Here's what you get access to ALL YEAR:

🎓 Weekly Professional Development

  • 10-minute coaching videos aligned with monthly themes
  • Practical tip sheets for immediate implementation
  • Expert interviews and curated resources
  • Teaching Toolkits (Recipes) - Step-by-step frameworks for each module

👥 Monthly Group Coaching

  • Live sessions with me where we tackle real challenges
  • A community that celebrates YOUR unique journey
  • Support for adapting lessons to YOUR learner

💚 Mental Health Support

  • Regular "Ask Anything" sessions with Dan Marcone, Licensed Mental Health Counselor
  • Skills in emotional intelligence, empathy, and communication
  • Because your emotional well-being matters as much as your child's education

📚 Seasonal Book Club

  • Deep dives into transformative books
  • Discussions with other moms who actually get it
  • Application to your real homeschool life (not theory)

🏡 Private Community

  • Off-Facebook platform (because boundaries matter)
  • Real-time support when you need it
  • Meaningful connections that last beyond a school year

And when you join during Winter Enrollment, you also get:

💝 1:1 Coaching Call with Michelle ($150 value) - We'll identify your biggest homeschool challenge, uncover what's driving the resistance or overwhelm, and create a personalized action plan tailored to YOUR child and family so you have absolute clarity on your next steps.

Friend, this isn't about adding more to your plate.

It's about developing specific skills in emotional regulation, problem-solving, communication, and critical thinking that make everything else easier.

Skills like:

  • How to rebuild routines without resistance
  • How to refresh your teaching when motivation dips
  • How to set boundaries that protect your energy
  • How to adapt lessons for YOUR out-of-box learner
  • How to regulate your own nervous system so you can show up calm

It's professional development that develops YOU—the whole you—not just your teaching skills.

Winter enrollment is now open!

If you're curious about how this will impact you, I'll share some real stories from moms who joined and how it changed their homeschool journey.

What would it feel like to end this school year feeling confident instead of depleted? Connected instead of compared? Proud instead of behind?

And equipped with actual skills and teaching toolkits you can use for years to come?

That's what we're building together.

Your Friend,

Hi Reader! Yesterday I told you about that post-holiday restart feeling. The one where you're trying to get everyone back on track but you're still recovering from the post-holiday activities and trying to get the house back in order. (If you still have your Christmas tree up - you're not alone!) Today, I want to shift your perspective on something. What if January isn't the "catch-up" month?What if it's actually the advantage month? Here's what I mean: When you start homeschooling (or join a...

Hi Reader! I'm sitting here with my second cup of coffee, looking at the calendar and realizing our family has been on break since Thanksgiving when our co-op ended its fall semester.And what a break it's been! We've filled our days with travel and adventure, visits from friends, dances and hangouts, movie nights, and even some beach days (gotta love those Florida benefits). Then we fully dove into all the holiday activities and magic. Sure, we've done some math here and there. But mostly?...

Hi Reader! I'm keeping this quick. I know you're juggling a lot right now. I just wanted to pause and wish you a peaceful, joy-filled holiday season. I hope you're finding moments to breathe, connect with your kids, and maybe even rest a little. As you wrap up this year and look ahead to the next one, here's what I'm envisioning for you... I see you feeling more confident in your homeschool decisions. Not second-guessing every choice or comparing your days to everyone else's. I see you...
