So gently inspiring!
Thank you Leah for introducing me to world of Charlotte Mason! Despite being homeschooled myself (more of a classical and textbook approach though) and knowing the benefits, I felt overwhelmed at the thought of planning schooling for my own children and was missing that spark of inspiration and joy. It sounded like a chore…. Until I came across “The Modern Miss Mason” book and podcast, and suddenly all the overwhelm faded away they painted a vision of homeschooling that was a delightful and exciting thing to look forward to rather than an overwhelming task to plan for. Thank you so much!!

Didn’t expect to like it
I’m not sure why exactly, but at the point in my CM leaning journey when I listened to Episode 1 of this podcast, I just wasn’t ready. Fast forward a couple of months and it quickly became one of my favorite moments of the day! Leah’s relaxed style, soothing voice, and wise insights - rooted in realistic experience and expectations - are a rarity in a world brimming with “experts” and those who make you feel like you aren’t quite doing “enough”. Her guests are unique, energizing, and enriching. I cannot wait to continue my listening, and learning, journey.

Love it!
Such a wonderful encouragement! The world of Charlotte Mason has always intrigued me but felt slightly out of reach for the way we live our lives. Finding your book and this podcast has helped me feel like I can do it, even if it doesn’t look exactly like it would have 100 years ago. Thanks so much for your work!

Endearing and Edifying!
Leah is so warm and gentle in how she encourages homeschooling parents. And I love her sharing of poetry each week- it adds a lovely dash of beauty that everyone needs in life. Listening to Leah feels like I’m listening to a sweet friend who encourages me to be myself and embrace my unique approach to a Charlotte Mason education- however imperfectly! :)

So Encouraging 💕
I’ve lurked Charlotte Mason content for years but always felt like it seemed unattainable and wasn’t exactly what I was looking for - content was too heavily focused on just copying CM exactly which didn’t feel necessary or appropriate in ever case. Leah makes everything so much more approachable and realistic! I love that her podcasts have actionable steps that I walk away feeling inspired to do :) Thank you!!!

Thank you, Leah
I find Modern Miss Mason’s podcast to be essential to my own continuing education as I educate my own children. She is helping me to craft the education I have always wanted for my children. I look forward to her podcasts every week!

Laughed Out Loud!
Loved the episode between Leah & Dave, truly LEARNed a lot and laughed out loud! Such great practical wisdom and Dave’s Miss Mason joke will for sure stay with me quite a while! Can’t wait for your next podcast together.

Please interview Jodi Mockabee
I absolutely love this podcast and find it so encouraging. I loved the interview with Jennifer Pepito! Could you possibly interview Jodi Mockabee? Her new book is absolutely amazing and I would love to hear the 2 of you share yourtime

So thankful!
I am so thankful for Leah’s perspective as I am in the beginning phases of homeschooling. I have greatly enjoyed her workshops and several podcast episodes. I am just dipping my toe into the CM method and this makes it all seem approachable and digestible. I can pace myself and grow WITH my daughter on this beautiful journey of home learning.

So happy I found Modern Miss Mason
What a relief to find this podcast! I am so happy that her compassionate advice is available to help us home schooling families. She’s wonderful, and her practical thoughts and suggestions are amazing.

Revolutionized My Home Education
This podcast has helped revolutionize my approach to home education. It has not only inspired the “how” to implement Charlotte Mason’s philosophy in our home, but more importantly the “why” behind her methods. It truly has been invaluable.

Great Topics!!
Every episode has lots of encouragement and useful ideas.

So glad to have discovered this podcast
Leah’s tender heart shines through every episode and makes me feel that I really can do this Charlotte Mason lifestyle. She is altogether without judgment and offers practical suggestions for cultivating a life according to Charlotte Mason’s principles. I love how the show is structured to weave together personal stories, interviews, poems, and excerpts from Miss Mason herself. Absolutely lovely!

A great podcast for encouragement
I’ve been listening for a couple months now. It’s my go to homeschool podcast! So much encouragement that I needed as a new homeschool mom

Leah is so lovely!
I have enjoyed Leah’s Modern Miss Mason Unboxed course and that’s what brought me to the podcast. Her voice is musical and comforting, just like the cups of tea overlooking bird song filled sunrises she describes haha! Her podcast has interesting and encouraging content as well, with varied and well spoken guests.

This speaks to my heart💛
Leah, your words and the guests you have on your podcast are just what I need to hear. I’m now in my 4th year of homeschooling and it’s taken me this long to discover Charlotte Mason as well as pull away from the public school mentality that is so engrained in me. Your podcasts give me reassurance that what I am doing is right and beautiful.

Wonderful!
I am learning so much about the Charlotte Mason philosophy! I very much appreciate Leah’s style. She is calming and inspiring at once. I’m looking forward to buying her course— I’m certain it will be fabulous.

LOVE HER
I feel like the podcast hostess is Miss Mason talking to us .. her sweet voice mirrors her seemingly sweet spirit. Loved the episode with Heritage Mom about contentment. It spoke to me so deeply, in my current season.

Digestible
This podcast takes the rich, inspiring source material and makes it (even more) practical and digestible. I love listening, and the guests are high-caliber, immensely contributing to my personal education of Charlotte Mason’s philosophy. Thank you Modern Miss Mason!

Inspired Me To Keep Going
Covid threw us into virtual school which was a shock for us. I felt like I was doing it all wrong and couldn’t wait for it to end...until I was introduced to Leah Boden’s podcast. When I met Charlotte Mason through Leah, I realized that at home learning could be so much more than what I was experiencing. My chest was heavy with hope as I devoured each show. We are now committed to homeschooling and the Charlotte Mason philosophy has become part of our home culture. Thank you, Leah!

Beautiful
I love listening to many of the podcasts here. My two favorites have been the interviews with Sally Clarkson and the one with Cindy Rollins. And also the one she did with her husband. She is a lovely person, and strives to make the listening time enjoyable and rewarding.

A very warm welcome into CM
As a new homeschooling mom very interested in the methods of Charlotte Mason (which at times has felt like a lot to sift through) Leah’s easy conversation and sharing feel like a warm welcome into her home and experience

An encouraging space and breath of fresh air
Listening to this podcast has been one of the best things I’ve done this year of homeschooling. Leah is kind, helpful, and encouraging. I am always inspired to dive into homeschooling after listening to her and her guests, and that is exactly what I need to start a new week. Thank you for encouraging me to homeschool MY unique family, in MY unique circumstances.

Brilliant
This podcast has been the best home ed resource I’ve discovered in the last 18 months. I’ve been home educating for over 15 years yet am constantly looking for encouragement and quality ideas. Leah’s podcast has brought all that and much more. We are an Anglo-American family currently in the US so I also appreciate the familiarity of the English cultural nuance that she provides.

Loving it!
I just listened to the episode with Julie Bogart and of course it was incredible. I love both of these women!!!

One of my favorite podcasts!
This is by far one of my favorite podcasts to listen to. I've gleaned so much and look forward to each week's new discussion ♥️ if you haven't checked out Modern Miss Mason on Instagram - go do that now!
Adrianne Dilella
Such a refreshing message
I enjoy informative homeschooling podcasts that give me ideas to implement in my home, and this is certainly one of those, but what I absolutely love about Leah is that she also gives me freedom and encouragement to put my own spin on things. I find it rare in the Charlotte Mason world to find an experienced voice willing to help while also acknowledging that “mother knows best.” Thank you for this gift!

Such a blessing
I just listened to season 2’s episode with Dr. Carroll Smith. I need to replay the last 15 minutes of that episode every week of my homeschooling journey. What a blessing-thank you!

Modern Miss Mason is a breath of fresh air to your homeschool day. This podcast is full of encouragement to discover what works for your family using the Charlotte Mason Method as the filter. Leah’s calming voice will be the balm your heart needs as you seek to mesh Miss Mason’s principles with modern day home education!!!

Thoughtful and encouraging
I really enjoy listening to this podcast. Leah not only shares thoughtful wisdom and practical advice on administering Charlotte Mason’s methods, but she also conveys the heart of a Christ-centered home. I walk away encouraged by it.
