"We have to really know what's important, and what not to add in."

About This Episode: It's Mama Monday! This week, I'm talking with mom Breanna. I loved this whole conversation and I know you will too! Here are just some of the topics we discussed:

-The challenges of homeschooling her children while dealing with a demanding work schedule and managing their needs at the same time.
-The role of flexibility in managing her kids' sensory needs and dysregulation.
-How Breanna takes care of herself and stays true to her identity
-The importance of leaning on faith and showing weakness
-The challenges of letting go of control and letting Breanna's husband handle things without hovering.
-The planning process for homeschooling, including choosing a curriculum and adapting it for her kids.
