Hi! I’m Crystal Wagner.
When my daughter was born, I left my career to stay home and care for her. It was difficult to let go of one identity and embrace another, but I came to love my new identity of “Mom.”
When we started homeschooling six years later, I assumed another identity of “homeschool mom.” This wasn’t as big of a transition as when I left my career, but I had to make adjustments with this one, too.
I am now facing another transition as we approach the end of our homeschool journey. This is a time of rediscovering my passions, interests, and strengths. I am remembering old dreams and discovering new ones.
Just like other transitions in my life, this one has its own unique set of challenges—embracing a variety of emotions, learning to parent an adult, dealing with hormonal changes (again), and finding a new community. I’m approaching it one step at a time, and you can too!
My mission is to help homeschool moms discover and embrace their next calling after their homeschool journey is complete.
