From Chaos to Confidence: The Journey of a Homeschool Coach, Entrepreneur, and Working Mom   Hi there! I’m Amanda Schenkenberger, and I’m passionate about empowering homeschool moms to calm the chaos and confidently homeschool their children. Through my programs with Homeschool Family Legacy, I focus on creating supportive schedules and building strong bonds, ensuring that families can experience joyful connections and rigorous academics simultaneously. With my background as a homeschooled individual and a homeschooling mother of four boys, I coach other moms to educate curious minds and cultivate courageous spirits. As a former homeschooled kid turned homeschool mom, I understand the unique challenges and rewards of homeschooling. My journey has equipped me with the tools to help moms go from chaos to unshakable confidence, allowing their families to experience freedom and fun without compromising their children's futures. My qualifications include being a homeschool coach, mental health professional, executive functions expert, entrepreneur, and home educator. Outside of my professional life, I have a variety of hobbies and passions that keep me energized and inspired. I love entrepreneurship, enjoy a boujee cup of coffee, and am an avid reader of self-improvement books and the Bible. As a family, we cherish our camping trips and visits to amusement parks, making the most of our time together and creating lasting memories. One unique aspect of my background is that my dad, who is deaf, taught me to read. This experience not only shaped my early education but also instilled in me a deep appreciation for the diverse ways people learn and communicate. Much of my own experience as a homeschooled child is incorporated into the programs I create at Homeschool Family Legacy. I provide a range of products and services designed to take homeschooling moms from feeling overwhelmed and scattered to becoming confident and connected with their children. Twice a year I hold the "60 Days to Consistency" program, which is a comprehensive masterclass that teaches moms how to structure their day effectively, organize their homeschool curriculum, and prioritize the most important tasks. This program also helps set clear homeschooling goals and track progress, ensuring that families achieve a consistent and productive homeschooling routine in just 60 days. Additionally, my "Easy Button Christian Homeschool" curriculum is tailored for new and overwhelmed homeschooling families. This program provides the essential curriculum and structure needed to create lifelong learners and instill a love of reading in children. By offering a well-organized, faith-based educational plan, we help families simplify their homeschooling journey and focus on building a nurturing and engaging learning environment. I give parents everything they need to start homeschooling on the right foot, including my tried and true system of developing elementary aged children who can read at collegiate levels (and I have the test scores to prove it!). Through our products and services, we aim to support homeschooling families in creating a balanced, enjoyable, and effective educational experience for their children. My vision with Homeschool Family Legacy is to transform the face of education in America, and I believe that entrepreneurs are uniquely positioned to lead this change. I firmly believe that we can offer our children a superior education at home compared to public or even private schools. Entrepreneurs, by the nature of our work, are poised for rapid success in homeschooling. We already embrace a growth mindset, are accustomed to making bold decisions, and thrive on challenges. Homeschooling becomes particularly appealing for us, as we want to ensure our children grow up with an innovative and entrepreneurial mindset, rather than an "employee mindset." What sets Homeschool Family Legacy apart from other resources in the homeschooling niche is our unique combination of personal experience, professional expertise, and a holistic approach to education. As a former homeschooled individual and a homeschooling mother of four boys, I bring firsthand understanding and practical insights into the challenges and rewards of homeschooling. This personal journey, coupled with my professional background as a homeschool coach, mental health professional, and executive functions expert, allows me to offer tailored guidance that truly resonates with homeschooling families. Moreover, our programs, such as “Heart Smart Homeschool Moms,” "60 Days to Consistency" masterclass and "Easy Button Christian Homeschool," are meticulously designed to provide both structure and flexibility, ensuring that families can create a nurturing and effective learning environment. We prioritize not just academic excellence but also the emotional and social well-being of both parents and children. By focusing on building strong family bonds, fostering a love for learning, and promoting a growth mindset, Homeschool Family Legacy equips families with the tools they need to thrive. Our commitment to transforming education and empowering parents sets us apart as the best choice for homeschooling support. Here’s a review from one mom who I worked with for just a few months: Ashlee P. https://vimeo.com/973154550/50cb0cd644 OR here’s the transcript from Ashlee P: “Before working with Amanda, I was stressed and somewhat of a hot mess. Our sessions began with breathing exercises, which were incredibly helpful. Amanda taught me various strategies to calm myself during the day, making me a more peaceful mom, which benefited both me and my kids. We also discussed how to be more consistent in our homeschool days, and it was great to have someone knowledgeable to guide me through my questions about scheduling and consistency. After working with Amanda, I felt significantly calmer and more peaceful. I noticed a positive shift in myself, becoming more consistent, which improved our entire household. I highly recommend working with Amanda. It's truly worth it. She offers personalized guidance, taking the time to get to know me and my kids by name, and providing a personal touch that I greatly appreciated.” In a world where education is rapidly evolving, Homeschool Family Legacy stands as a beacon for families seeking a more personalized and empowering approach to learning. Our unique blend of experience, expertise, and holistic support sets us apart in the homeschooling niche. We are committed to transforming education, helping parents foster strong family bonds, and nurturing lifelong learners with a growth mindset. Join us in this journey and discover how you can confidently homeschool your children, providing them with an exceptional education and a love for learning. Connect with us and become part of a supportive community dedicated to empowering homeschooling families.

As a family, we cherish our camping trips and visits to amusement parks, making the most of our time together and creating lasting memories. One unique aspect of my background is that my dad, who is deaf, taught me to read. This experience not only shaped my early education but also instilled in me a deep appreciation for the diverse ways people learn and communicate. Much of my own experience as a homeschooled child is incorporated into the programs I create at Homeschool Family Legacy. I provide a range of products and services designed to take homeschooling moms from feeling overwhelmed and scattered to becoming confident and connected with their children. Twice a year I hold the "60 Days to Consistency" program, which is a comprehensive masterclass that teaches moms how to structure their day effectively, organize their homeschool curriculum, and prioritize the most important tasks. This program also helps set clear homeschooling goals and track progress, ensuring that families achieve a consistent and productive homeschooling routine in just 60 days. Additionally, my "Easy Button Christian Homeschool" curriculum is tailored for new and overwhelmed homeschooling families. This program provides the essential curriculum and structure needed to create lifelong learners and instill a love of reading in children. By offering a well-organized, faith-based educational plan, we help families simplify their homeschooling journey and focus on building a nurturing and engaging learning environment. I give parents everything they need to start homeschooling on the right foot, including my tried and true system of developing elementary aged children who can read at collegiate levels (and I have the test scores to prove it!). Through our products and services, we aim to support homeschooling families in creating a balanced, enjoyable, and effective educational experience for their children. My vision with Homeschool Family Legacy is to transform the face of education in America, and I believe that entrepreneurs are uniquely positioned to lead this change. I firmly believe that we can offer our children a superior education at home compared to public or even private schools. Entrepreneurs, by the nature of our work, are poised for rapid success in homeschooling. We already embrace a growth mindset, are accustomed to making bold decisions, and thrive on challenges. Homeschooling becomes particularly appealing for us, as we want to ensure our children grow up with an innovative and entrepreneurial mindset, rather than an "employee mindset." What sets Homeschool Family Legacy apart from other resources in the homeschooling niche is our unique combination of personal experience, professional expertise, and a holistic approach to education. As a former homeschooled individual and a homeschooling mother of four boys, I bring firsthand understanding and practical insights into the challenges and rewards of homeschooling. This personal journey, coupled with my professional background as a homeschool coach, mental health professional, and executive functions expert, allows me to offer tailored guidance that truly resonates with homeschooling families. Moreover, our programs, such as “Heart Smart Homeschool Moms,” "60 Days to Consistency" masterclass and "Easy Button Christian Homeschool," are meticulously designed to provide both structure and flexibility, ensuring that families can create a nurturing and effective learning environment. We prioritize not just academic excellence but also the emotional and social well-being of both parents and children. By focusing on building strong family bonds, fostering a love for learning, and promoting a growth mindset, Homeschool Family Legacy equips families with the tools they need to thrive. Our commitment to transforming education and empowering parents sets us apart as the best choice for homeschooling support. Here’s a review from one mom who I worked with for just a few months: Ashlee P. https://vimeo.com/973154550/50cb0cd644 OR here’s the transcript from Ashlee P: “Before working with Amanda, I was stressed and somewhat of a hot mess. Our sessions began with breathing exercises, which were incredibly helpful. Amanda taught me various strategies to calm myself during the day, making me a more peaceful mom, which benefited both me and my kids. We also discussed how to be more consistent in our homeschool days, and it was great to have someone knowledgeable to guide me through my questions about scheduling and consistency. After working with Amanda, I felt significantly calmer and more peaceful. I noticed a positive shift in myself, becoming more consistent, which improved our entire household. I highly recommend working with Amanda. It's truly worth it. She offers personalized guidance, taking the time to get to know me and my kids by name, and providing a personal touch that I greatly appreciated.” In a world where education is rapidly evolving, Homeschool Family Legacy stands as a beacon for families seeking a more personalized and empowering approach to learning. Our unique blend of experience, expertise, and holistic support sets us apart in the homeschooling niche. We are committed to transforming education, helping parents foster strong family bonds, and nurturing lifelong learners with a growth mindset. Join us in this journey and discover how you can confidently homeschool your children, providing them with an exceptional education and a love for learning. Connect with us and become part of a supportive community dedicated to empowering homeschooling families.
