Shelter-In-Place Homeschooling Episode 10 - Guest Mike Sherbun with host Holly Kalua

Aloha, my name is Holly Kalua and as a new Shelter in Place (SIP) Mom (and nurse); I wanted to find help for those of us who have never attempted schooling our children at home. Through this "SIP Schoolers" series, we find even the experienced homeschooling parent has had to overcome new hurdles with COVID and other challenges that we can all learn from and support each other through our parenting journeys.

Mike Sherbun RN, MHA is the founder and CEO of BHE (Behavioral Health Experts) and then in 2020, became the Executive Director of Providence Health’s Mental Health Institute. BHE is a Parent Coaching-In home counseling and education program for families, thus Mike was an absolute must-have guest with his trifecta skills of nursing, parenting and mental health expertise.  

As a fellow nurse, I appreciate the tremendous work that Mike has accomplished with parents and in healthcare. Today, we get a glimpse of his vast experience as he shares stress-management tips and great gems throughout the podcast. Not only does Mike provide the steps to approaching and decreasing our perceived stress, he reminds us to give ourselves a break – no one is perfect; “We’re doing the best we can for the moment we are in.” – Wow! Loved that!
