But you know what?

I’ve been in your shoes.. and I can help you to work with your teens confidently.

My name is Heather Woodie and I’ve been blogging at BlogSheWrote.org for 17 years. I have a B.S. in Biological Sciences and a M.S.Ed in Curriculum and Instruction Secondary Education, and I’m on a mission to help families with out of the box, sick, and neurodiverse teens homeschool high school with purpose and peace. I’ve been homeschooling high school for the last 13 years and have graduated 4 teens.

Our four kids have always been out of the box and throughout high school and into college, we learned that their “out of the box-ness” has names.

We’ve homeschooled teens with severe chronic illnesses, ADHD, Autism, Sensory Processing Disorder, Anxiety, and Depression and guided them through the high school years and successfully launched them to college with scholarships, an Ivy League admission, and part time community college. Our youngest is the most out of the box of them all and is heading into the world of freelance without going to college.

Our two oldest finished college well and graduated with honors and distinction. Now they are both thriving, one as a technical writer and the other as an entrepreneur.

My mission is to help you to navigate the challenges you have with your teen, whether they have a diagnosis or not, so that your teen can have a personalized high school experience that meets their needs, along with all the tools and knowledge to apply to and have a successful college admission to a school which will help them to thrive.

Join me, so you can get your questions answered and learn how to guide your teen to success now and in the future!

Meet Our Out-of-the-Box Teens!

Our oldest studied at Purdue University with the highest merit scholarship and honors school designation.

He was admitted to the School of Liberal Arts for a degree in Professional Writing and he works as a technical writer for an engineering firm. In addition, he’s a sports writer for a popular outlet.

He also had a chronic illness which provided a plot twist to his story and continued to give us a lot of experience tapping established protocols for unique students.

Our second oldest, was accepted early admission to Cornell University and she graduated with honors and distinction with a Bachelor of Science in Fiber Science and Apparel Design and a minor in Art.

She completed an undergraduate honors research project and was one of five students chosen to give a TED style talk to explain her research.

Now she is building her own business and does freelance work, combining her expertise in neurodivergence, fashion design, art, and graphic design.

From many years of a project based course of study to an Ivy League design program, her story is an exciting one.

Still Not Sure If this Course is for You?

Let tell you more about our daughter Rebecca’s story.

Rebecca started sewing when she was 8. It’s the only activity she ever wanted to do more than once.

We found ways to explore sewing with her, always pressing into new skills. As her skills grew, we provided opportunities for her through low and no cost community efforts, websites, and books. At 10 she began drafting. At 13 she was entering design contests and she started her sewing school.

Her design was featured in a curated collection with known adult designers and design students.She taught 10 students in 4 sewing classes from age 13-18. The income from her sewing school allowed her to buy new equipment like a serger.Throughout high school, she took a course we created called Sewing & Design. She had five credits of this course on her transcript when she applied to design school.She took on the portfolio with research and designs to help children with sensory disorders.

Rebecca’s experiences and accomplishments were rewarded with one of roughly 9 slots in Fashion Design at Cornell University.

In design school, she thrived! Rebecca won art contests, made the dean’s list, designed head turners for the annual runway show, and secured a research assistant job in the world renowned textile collection. In her junior year, she took on an honors research thesis and was one of 5 students at the university to be chosen in her senior year to present her research TED Talk Style.
