  • Why Take a Hiatus?
    Oct 10 2023

    The "Key 3 Educators" podcast is taking a hiatus!

    Why? I'm delighted you asked!

    To allow more time to complete a couple of curriculum programs for Christian schools and home educators! It's been a great privilege to work with Ken Davis on a communications course for high school students. I'm excitedly anticipating announcing more details in the near future!

    Another is a character and faith formation program for middle school and high school students.

    In the meantime, keep up with what's going on by subscribing to Hi(Impact) at https://www.stephaniepresents.com/ where you can also find information on speaking engagements.

  • Gina Prosch Unpacks Home Education in One Child Families and Cultivating Joy
    Sep 26 2023

    Are you a "real mom" if you only have one child?

    Gina Prosch proves you are, in spite of what someone once told her!

    Artist, speaker, author, teacher, and home educator, Gina shares tremendous insights in today's episode. Our conversation opens with Gina sharing the perspective of what it's like to homeschool in a one-child family. From navigating how to handle friends' siblings to discrediting the idea "onlies" are automatically spoiled, Gina's insights are valuable for every parent.

    Gina also dives into:

    • What you need to discard as a home educating parent

  • Seven Critical Steps to Protect Your Children
    Sep 19 2023

    Guest Ruth Hovsepian provides parents and leaders seven steps to promote healthy sexuality in children and protect them from the damages of porn.

    Ruth addresses issues such as:

    • the insufficiency of internet filters
    • how to deal with any of your own struggles and failures in this area
    • adopting a proactive rather than reactive approach
    • covering every conversation with your children with love, grace, forgiveness, and hope
    • and more!

    Resources Ruth suggests in this episode include:

    https://www.covenanteyes.com/

    https://culturereframed.org/

    Ruth is a speaker, author, and podcaster who shares her addiction and sobriety journey to help others facing addictions or strongholds. Ruth went through an acrimonious separation and divorce when her three children were young; the youngest was five months old. She raised them on her own, struggling to put food on the table, went back to school, got a job in IT, and made her way to the top, only to lose her job and, along with it, her identity.

    During those dark 15 years she lived a double life, one as a successful businesswoman and mum and the second as a "party girl." Looking back at the party years sends shivers down her spine; she lived a dangerous and life-threatening lifestyle.

    Ruth is now eight years sober. With sobriety came a new beginning and renewal in her walk with God. She published her first book, 100 Days of Prayer: A Journey Into Deeper Intimacy with GOD, in 2022. A new book, The Ultimate Conversation: Is That You, GOD? released in June, 2023. She shares her life story to help others write their own stories.

    Ruth hosts a podcast, "Out of the Darkness with Ruth Hovsepian," showcasing transformational stories of recovery and healing from traumas and addiction.
