Guided Year: Support for the Parenting Journey
Join a full year of meaningful support for homeschool and school parents who want to lead with clarity, faith, and peace. Guided Year offers two distinct tracks with one shared mission: to help you parent with confidence and intention, every step of the way.
Parenting is never one-size-fits-all. Whether you're leading your child's education at home or partnering closely with their school, you deserve a place to think out loud, get equipped, and feel supported. That’s why I created two parallel, year-long support groups, each with its own focus and community and each with its own monthly live conversations focused on practical, relevant topics specific to you:
Guided Year: Pathways for Homeschoolers – For homeschool parents who want guidance and encouragement as they grow their confidence, share support and resources, and connect with other parents on the same path.
Guided Year: Pathways in School – For parents with children in school who want to be proactive, engaged, and intentional in raising their children and shaping their child’s learning experience at home and in school.
Every month, you'll join a 1-hour live session (recordings available) focused on a seasonal, relevant theme. You’ll also gain access to an exclusive discussion board so you’re never parenting alone. It’s open and active all the time, so in between our monthly sessions, you can ask questions, get timely feedback, and connect with other thoughtful parents who are walking a similar path, sharing ideas, encouragement, and real-life resources along the way. Additionally, I will share full-length posts with resources, ideas, and real-life ways of enriching your family.
Guided Year is now easier than ever. Download the Mother’s Guidance app for quick, on-the-go access to connection, support, and community.
Do you have questions about Guided Year? I've put together a quick FAQ list here.
Enrollment in the 2025-2026 groups is limited to keep each group connected and cohesive.
Registration for the year closes on September 1.

🏡 Guided Year: Pathways for Homeschoolers
Support for intentional families educating at home
Homeschooling is about more than curriculum—it’s a whole-family way of life. Guided Year: Pathways for Homeschoolers is your place to focus, and connect. Together, we’ll walk through a full year of home education rhythms: choosing curriculum, managing multiple ages, building family culture, and taking care of yourself. This is your space to share and grow with fellow homeschool parents in our supportive discussion board throughout the year. Network with like-minded parents, seek support, and ask questions on the Guided Year: Pathways for Homeschoolers Community Group. Click here for monthly topics and more information.
You don’t have to homeschool alone—and you weren’t meant to.

Guided Year FAQ
What exactly is Guided Year?
Guided Year is a 12-month membership community for intentional parenting. Each month, we gather online for a live conversation on a relevant parenting or education theme, and you’ll have access to a discussion board where you can connect, ask questions, and get support. There are two tracks—one for homeschool families, and one for families with kids in school so you can get support that truly fits your life.
Is this for homeschoolers or parents with kids in school?
Both! Guided Year has two distinct tracks—Pathways for Homeschoolers and Pathways in School so you’ll join the conversations most relevant to your family’s journey.
What kinds of topics do you cover each month?
Each month we gather for a live, open conversation centered around a practical parenting or education theme. There are two separate tracks: Pathways in School and Pathways for Homeschoolers so the discussions are tailored to your family’s context.
We cover topics like setting up school-year routines, digital devices, after-school challenges, family culture, curriculum choices, enrichment opportunities, and more. And there’s always space for parents to bring up whatever’s on their mind.
You can view the tentative topic schedule for school families here and for homeschool families here.
I have specific questions I’d like addressed in Guided Year. Is there a way to do that?
Yes! Guided Year is designed to support you in the areas that matter most to your family. You’re always welcome to post your questions in the community for me and other members to respond to. You can also suggest topics for future Live Chats—many of our monthly themes are shaped by member requests.
My goal is for Guided Year to feel like semi-private coaching in a supportive community—where you can bring your real-life parenting questions and get thoughtful, personalized feedback throughout the year.
How much time does it take each month?
The live session is one hour each month. (You will also have access to the recordings to watch at any time.) You can participate in the discussion board as much or as little as you like. Some parents pop in occasionally, while others check in weekly or more. I have been sharing posts on parenting and educational topics roughly twice a week. Also, Guided Year is now easier than ever. Download the Mother’s Guidance app for quick, on-the-go access to connection, support, and community so you can check-in quickly and easily, wherever you are.
I missed the recent live chat. Can I watch a recording?
Absolutely! All live chat recordings are posted in the Guided Year groups. You can catch up on July’s Live Chat and any future sessions whenever it works for you.
What did you discuss in the July Live Chat?
July’s chat was such a rich conversation! We talked about making space for our own needs alongside our children’s, balancing friend time and family time over the summer, and what to do if you really don’t enjoy board games but your kids love them along with lots more. It was full of practical ideas and honest reflections, with a warm, friendly feel. I’d love for you to join and listen in!
What topics will future Live Chats cover?
You can see the tentative list of upcoming topics for Pathways in School here and Pathways for Homeschoolers here. If members want to discuss other topics, we will add them into the calendar so that Guided Year offers each family the support they seek.
I haven’t signed up for Guided Year yet. Can I still join?
Yes! Registration is open through September 1. You can join anytime this summer and instantly access all the past sessions and community conversations.
I live in a different time zone. Will I be able to connect and join live sessions?
Yes! Each month I post a poll so members can vote on the session time and discussion topics. This helps us rotate times throughout the year to include members from different time zones. You’ll also have access to recordings, so you never have to miss out. If you join now, you can still vote to select August’s live chat time.
I need help registering. Can you help me?
Absolutely! I’d love to help you get started. Just email me at rebecca@mothersguidance.com and I’ll get back to you as quickly as possible.
