About this episode
In today’s episode, we get to spend time with Amber O’Neal Johnston from Georgia. Amber is a homeschool mom of four children, an author, speaker, world traveler, and founder of Heritage Mom. Initially, Amber was skeptical about homeschooling, but she has become a passionate advocate, crediting her husband’s gentle leadership and the encouragement of experienced homeschool moms for her transformation. She discusses the importance of creating a culturally rich home environment that her children want to be part of, emphasizing intentional parenting, flexibility, and the value of community. Our conversation explores Amber’s commitment to infusing diverse voices into her children’s curriculum, moving beyond “cookie-cutter” approaches to create a “special sauce” unique to each family. She encourages parents to embrace what makes their homeschool distinct, to seek out “life-giving books,” and to learn alongside their children. Listeners will come away with practical insights on intentional living, the power of community, the beauty of cultural inclusion, and the freedom to make homeschooling a deeply personal, joyful journey.
