Christian Homeschool Moms Podcast

Motherhood doesn’t end… but it does change. And no one really prepares you for how hard it is to let go. In this episode, I’m sharing my real-life journey of watching my daughters grow up, step out, and how I’m learning to love them without holding on too tight.///Apply to be on the show: https://www.honeybook.com/widget/demetria_zinga_consulting_244093/cf_id/67d97e103753ac00254305eaJoin me on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@momzestlife/

Join me, Demetria, as I welcome you to the newly rebranded Christian Moms Cafe. After 14 years of the Christian Homeschool Moms Podcast, I’m stepping into a new season—empty nest, midlife transitions, and a space to gather, encourage, and support one another through all stages of motherhood and life.

From toddlers to teens, grown kids, and the empty nest, this podcast offers encouragement, practical insights, and authentic conversations about motherhood, life transitions, and faith. Pull up a chair, grab your coffee, and join the community—because no mom should do this alone.

After 183 episodes, the Christian Homeschool Moms Podcast is going on break for a season. In this episode, I share why this pause feels right, how God has been gently guiding me into a new chapter, and why the encouragement in this archive still matters for homeschool parents and moms of faith. This isn’t goodbye- just a faithful pause. If you’d like to continue walking with me through midlife, family transitions, faith, and what comes next, I invite you to join me over on my YouTube channel, MomZest—linked below.Happy New Year 2026!!!➤Follow me at my YouTube Channel (MomZest): https://www.youtube.com/@momzestlife➤Join me at Soul Podcasting: http://www.soulpodcasting.com

The holiday season can be beautiful — and overwhelming — all at the same time. Between the pressure to buy more, do more, and keep up with expectations, it’s easy to lose sight of what this season is really about. In this reflective, end-of-year episode, I’m sharing a slower, more intentional conversation about choosing meaning over more. As a veteran homeschool mom, I open up about how our family is simplifying gifts this year, shifting our focus toward shared experiences, and creating space for rest, connection, and faith — especially now that our kids are older. Together, we’ll talk about redefining what “special” really means, letting go of holiday performance and commercial pressure, and modeling values for our children that last far beyond this season. Rooted in Scripture and real life, this episode is an invitation to step off the holiday hamster wheel and breathe. I also take time to reflect on the year and express deep gratitude for the guests who joined the podcast — each one offering unique perspectives that highlighted the beauty and diversity of homeschool families. As we close out the year, my hope is that this episode feels like a warm conversation with a trusted friend — reminding you that a simpler holiday can often be a fuller one. Wishing you and your family a peaceful, grace-filled holiday season. I’ll be back in the new year with more encouragement and support for homeschool families and Christian women walking this journey with faith and intention.🔗 More resources & support:Visit: https://ChristianHomeschoolMoms.comLet’s keep raising strong, faith-filled learners—together.Check out my holiday video on YouTube this week: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hFxlHaul388

This week on the Christian Homeschool Moms Podcast, I’m sitting down with Brittney Proctor, whose story is nothing short of powerful. Brittney opens up about her journey from experiencing homelessness to finding healing, stability, and eventually stepping boldly into homeschooling her children. We talk about what those early days looked like, the quiet (and not-so-quiet) ways God showed up, and how she’s building a life for her family that is rooted in faith, wholeness, and purpose. If you’ve ever walked through a hard season and wondered whether beauty could come from it, Brittney’s story will meet you right where you are.

In this episode, I’m sitting down with the incredible Sharon Jaynes for a conversation every tired, hopeful, or overwhelmed mom needs to hear. We dig into the real stuff—feeling like you’re not measuring up, wrestling with comparison, wondering if anything you’re doing is even working.

In this heartfelt Thanksgiving-season episode, I’m sharing personal updates from my life lately — from my youngest navigating college applications, to my oldest stepping fully into adulthood, to my own journey with health, perimenopause, and rediscovering joy in the everyday. I’m also opening up about my newest adventure: exploring my heritage through cooking Congolese, Nigerian, and Kenyan dishes for the very first time — imperfect, a little messy, but full of meaning. And of course, I’m heading back to my Southern staples for next week’s Thanksgiving table. Inside this episode, we talk about releasing perfectionism, creating space for your own soul-care, embracing small joys, and clinging to “the joy of the Lord” even when life feels heavy. If you’re a homeschool mom who’s been juggling routines, expectations, or simply trying to catch your breath in this season, this conversation will encourage you to reclaim joy, practice gratitude, and give yourself grace. Join me for a warm, honest, faith-filled reflection on what it looks like to slow down, savor the moment, and let God renew your strength.///Mentioned on the Podcast///Visit Latonya Moore at JoyInTheOrdinary.comGet homeschool coaching with Tracy Kelly at HomeschoolPower.comI also mentioned my S'Mores cake recipe...unfortunately, I lost the post from 2014!

When your kids transition from being home with you every day to spending most of their time at school, it can shift everything — the rhythms, the conversations, even the way you connect. In this episode, we’re talking about how to stay present as a parent through those changes — how to give your kids the space they need to grow while still staying emotionally close. I’ll share what this looks like in my own home now that my daughter’s in school full-time, and how I’ve learned to navigate that new balance of letting go while staying connected. Whether your kids are in a hybrid program, a co-op, or full-time school, this one’s for every parent learning how to keep those heart connections strong as family life evolves.---//MENTIONED ON THE PODCAST//Why Slowing Down Helps Kids Thrive with Leslie Martino, Episode 173🔔 Announcements: Doors are open for new members at the Christian Women Podcasters Network!Are you a Christian podcaster sharing about faith, family, health, or practical life helps?📢 Get a free listing and more exposure for your podcast!-Sign up at: https://christianwomenpodcasters.com🔗 More resources & support:Visit: https://ChristianHomeschoolMoms.comLet’s keep raising strong, faith-filled learners—together.📺Follow my Homeschool YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@momzestlifeCatch the show notes over at the blog: http://www.christianhomeschoolmoms.com/podcast-2Follow My Solopreneur YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/@demetriazingaFollow My Podcasting Agency here: http://www.soulpodcasting.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/christian-homeschool-moms-podcast--2661536/support.

Her new release, The Burden of Better, offers women a journey into the depths of God's grace to find a way off the treadmill of constant comparison. Heather has been featured on Fox News, Huff Post, Morning Dose, Church Leaders, and For Every Mom, along with dozens of other shows and podcasts. But she's best recognized from her appearance as a contestant on the Netflix hit show, Nailed It. Heather and her fighter-pilot-turned-pastor husband, Eric have four children and live in Austin, Texas. Connect with Heather at Comparedtowho.me.Tips Heather shared with us:The hope is not in changing the body but the hope is found in changing the heart.In order to achieve a mindset shift, we first need a heart shift. What we are believing about our value isn’t necessarily true. Culture tells us our value comes from the way we look. We have a choice to believe what God’s Word says about us or what the world says about us.Our temples (our bodies) are meant to be fit for worship and require that we take care of them.Our demoralized view of our bodies affects our families. Remember that our opinions of ourselves are not the most important.///Mentioned on the show:My YouTube channel at MomZest:https://www.youtube.com/c/DemetriaZingaConsulting/videosThe Homeschool Boss Mama Goal Planner Course- https://christianhomeschoolmoms.teachable.com/p/boss-mama-homeschool-goal-planner///☕Support this podcast with a one-time coffee or a monthly membership here: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/demetriazinga🎙️Interested in starting your own podcast?

(She had a dream about a book with the letters CYLS KIDS. It was an inspiration from God and integrates her passion for helping children).What her book is about: Inside her book, there are special needs students (characters) as well as general education students. The pictures show that it caters to all students of the class. There is a special guest in the book, a character who teaches the kids about the bible and keeps kids engaged. Her book offers a general overview of the first five books of the bible and also helps brings awareness to other children besides general ed children.There are also activities in the book to help kids memorize the first 5 Bible books as well as a song to reinforce what they’ve learned in the book. A song is included to help them memorize, which is also found on iTunes, Spotify, and Amazon music. CDs are soon to come.Lynn's hope is that this book will make kids want to learn more about the Bible and read it for themselves and lay a foundation for learning about the Bible in the future.Find out how to purchase Lynn's book by visiting the show notes here: http://www.christianhomeschoolmoms.com/gain-confidence-in-teaching-children-the-bible☕Support this podcast with a one-time coffee or a monthly membership here: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/demetriazinga🎙️Interested in starting your own podcast?
