She Rejected Public School—Without Sacrificing Her Career or Ministry

What happens when God calls you to homeschool… but you’re already called to a full-time ministry too?

In this inspiring episode of WISE and Otherwise, therapist and mom Alexa Munger shares her emotional journey of seeking the right education path for her son. Torn between her calling as a licensed therapist and her desire to follow God’s prompting to homeschool, Alexa thought there was no way she could do both—until she discovered something she’d never heard of before: a microschool.

📘 Inside this episode:

– The moment she knew public school wasn’t right for her family

– How she balanced her ministry, career, and motherhood

– What makes microschools like Rooted Microschool a life-giving option for working moms

– Her therapist insight on what kids today are truly missing– Encouragement for moms feeling stuck or overwhelmed by their schooling choices

If you’re a mom who feels called to more but doesn't know how to make it all work—this story is for you.
