Today’s episode is near and dear to our hearts and it’s also a convicting discussion! Join us as Mindy shares how inclusive friendships matter and how the lack of effort hurts. We dive into the Whys, Whos, and Hows of this important topic for homeschoolers!

If you listened to Mindy on the Sorta Awesome show, know that there is a tiny bit of overlap, but that we hit some points not discussed there as well as hone in on homeschooling issues for this topic. It’s a different episode and a great flight!
