What happens when a seasoned public school teacher leaves the classroom after 20 years and steps into the unknown world of homeschooling? In this powerful episode of the More Than Your Age podcast, host Erica Pasvar sits down with Sarah Wehkamp, viral content creator, entrepreneur, and host of The Homeschool Hug podcast.

With a heart for education and a passion for family, Sarah shares how she transitioned from the traditional school system to homeschooling her children — and how that leap of faith led her to build a relatable, authentic brand that now reaches millions of parents online.
