Later Career
After getting married and becoming a mother, Whelchel stepped away from acting. She spent many years as a stay-at-home mom, and turned to writing to share some of her experiences. Her first book, Creative Correction, which offered advice on child discipline from a faith-based perspective, was published in 2000. So You're Thinking About Homeschooling (2009) was inspired by her own decision to teach her three children at home. Whelchel has penned several other books,
including Friendship for Grown-Ups: What I Missed and Learned Along the Way (2010) and Busy Mom's Guide to Prayer (2011).
Whelchel decided to take on a new challenge in 2012. A longtime devotee of Survivor, she finally got a chance to see how she would fare on the competitive survival show when she was selected to be a season 12 contestant.
