Hi, I’m Deirdre!
I’m passionate about helping people embrace their unique strengths and truly believe in the power they have within. I firmly believe that each of us holds the potential to create the life, balance, and fulfillment we dream of—but sometimes, we just need a reminder to tap into that power and take bold steps forward.
As a working parent who homeschools, I know firsthand how challenging it can feel to juggle career ambitions with the desire to be present for your children. Society often tells us we have to choose between success and family, but I refuse to believe that. I believe in finding your flow.
That’s why I created Stream of Blue—a space to help parents dream, believe, and find their rhythm in both work and homeschooling. It’s not about perfection; it’s about creating a life that works for you, where you can pursue your career, nurture your children’s education, and still have time to enjoy the life you’re building.
Here, you’ll find encouragement, practical tools, and strategies to help you navigate this path with confidence. Whether you’re just starting to explore homeschooling while working or looking for ways to make it all flow more smoothly, I’m here to remind you:
✨You are capable. You are resourceful. And you can create the life you truly deserve.✨
Together, let’s create a life where your dreams, your children’s future, and your happiness aren’t just possible—they’re at the heart of everything.
I tend to think in quotes. If you’d like to get to know me a little better, take a look at some of my favorite quotes below. They’ve encouraged me on hard days, reminded me of what matters most, and continue to shape how I see the world, my work, and my children.
