In this encouraging episode of BaseCamp Live, Davies Owens is joined by Joanna Hensley, Lower School Headmaster at Wilson Hill Academy, mom of six, and passionate classical educator. Together, they explore what it means to be intentional curators of our children’s education—without letting school overwhelm the joy of home life.

Through her personal journey—from studying Latin as a college student to parenting across continents—Joanna shares practical wisdom for finding balance between school and family, reclaiming restful weekends, and reframing education as a community-supported endeavor.

📌 Highlights include:
✔️ Redefining productivity in the home
✔️ How online classical education can free up family life
✔️ Simple scheduling strategies that create space for joy
✔️ Why focus and even failure are essential to a thriving education

Whether you're homeschooling, enrolled in a five-day school, or exploring hybrid options, this episode is a must-listen for families navigating the pace of modern life with classical priorities.
