Welcome back! In this episode I look at the benefits and sacrifices (they all come up as benefits in the end as I see them!) of our homeschooling journey. Homeschooling is a wonderful privilege our family enjoys, and it is not without it's drawbacks. The truth is the chauffeuring, the financial differences, the time commitment in general, these are all real and often down played - but they are so worth it!

Listen in and see how I see this part of the journey as all good because at the end of the day the pros outweigh the cons every single time.

I, personally, dislike the term self care - I feel it is often just one more things added to the to do list. In this episode Butch Phelps walks us through how he went from overweight and divorced to married to his best friend, in great shape and feeling better than ever. He really took the time to cultivate a life of his dreams.

Butch really likes to show everyone that to really take care of ourselves, to do anything really, we need to first truly know WHY we are doing it and then the doing becomes immensely easier. In his technique Butch outlines the mind-body connection and how he sees it as essential to understand that piece to create internal safety for muscles to release and allow deep healing and pain free living.

Tune in to hear all the wisdom Butch shares about his journey and how you can become pain fee by really understanding the mind-body connection and work WITH your body to create the safety to heal.

In this episode I outline the 5 reasons why we have chosen to start and continue homeschooling our 4 children. The main reasons are more lifestyle and less academic, and I forgot one of the main ones: fostering relationships between our children, how could I forget that?!?

Listen in for some real reasons why it works for us and watch for a follow up episode about what I see as benefits and sacrifices we've chosen and found along the way.
