"As mothers, we often find ourselves caring for everyone else and neglecting our own needs. It's crucial to give ourselves permission to take breaks and prioritize self-care, even if it means doing nothing for a while."

In this episode of "Take Back My Brain," I had the chance to interview Rachel Phillips, a homeschooling mother of two young boys. We delve into the crazies of homeschooling and creating a nurturing family environment. 

Rachel shares her journey from a highly structured, Type A mom to embracing a more relaxed and flexible approach. She discusses her strategies for fostering a love for learning, minimizing stress, and simpliying their daily routines.

Rachel emphasizes allowing children's interests to guide their educational journey, and incorporating hands-on activities that align with their passions. She also talks about maintaining a balanced lifestyle, setting realistic expectations, taking breaks, and minimizing decision fatigue by simplifying aspects like clothing choices. 

Thank you for joining us on this journey at "Take Back My Brain." As we celebrate the one-year anniversary of the podcast, I want to express my gratitude for your continued support and engagement.
