When my dear friend Corene Johnson faced her child's severe illness, she made a valiant pivot to homeschooling—a decision that would unknowingly become her family's saving grace during the pandemic. As Corene shares her story, you'll witness the weight of parental choices under societal scrutiny and the unexpected affirmation found in another's envy. This episode takes you through the complex tapestry of motherhood, where trust in parental instincts and community support in the homeschooling realm reveal the resilience that comes from embracing life's unpredictable twists.

Exploring the digital frontier our kids inhabit, we tackle the challenges of integrating technology into parenting. It's a delicate dance between setting boundaries and leveraging educational tools—a balance that's ever-shifting with each technological advance. But this episode goes deeper, peeling back the layers of generational trauma and the conscious effort to heal past wounds. Through candid storytelling, we examine how the pains and triumphs of previous generations shape our journey towards breaking cycles of trauma, embracing self-reflection, and cultivating grace.

Wrapping up our heartfelt discourse, we celebrate the evolution of Mommy Hour, a testament to the ever-changing currents of parenthood. It's not just about finding balance between work and mothering; it's about the power of intentional connections, the impact of our presence, and the nourishment of our inner selves amidst adversity. Join us for an intimate exploration into understanding our children's needs, behaviors, and the profound influence of our engagement. This is where raw, unfiltered conversations meet non-judgmental support, offering a safe harbor for all voyaging through the monumental undertaking that is motherhood.
