In the world of COVID, many parents have been forced into teaching their children at home. While virtual learning and homeschool by nature are different, many parents are now considering homeschooling their kids permanently.

Search “Homeschool” on the internet and prepare to go down a rabbit hole that will likely lead to more questions rather than getting yours answered. Ciara felt overwhelmed 2 years ago when she started researching homeschool options for her daughter. Parents are understandably anxious about homeschooling. Whether homeschooling or virtual learning, Ciara is going to help put your anxious minds at ease, give you some time saving tips, resources and a sense of community as you settle into this new role.

Holli and Ciara agreed to read the same book titled, “Fear Is Not The Boss Of You” by Jennifer Allwood. The author, like many of us was stuck in an office job that she dreaded but felt too “stuck” to do anything about it. 

The author shares her insight into what helped motivate her to get “unstuck” and delves into the fear we all hold onto when faced with new challenges. 

Too often we let fear stand in the way of accomplishing our goals and dreams. Well no more, friends! 

Hear each of our unique perspectives on this book and what we think our listeners will find most valuable. We share our own stories about being scared of change and what helped us take the leap into something more rewarding.

Even if you haven't read the book, we hope that you'll walk away from this episode encouraged to start that thing you've been wanting to start.

"Staycations" - Your next (mini) BIG adventure!

As much as we would love to jump on a plane and jet off to some exotic location for a vacation, there are several obstacles standing in our way related to the pandemic. Health is number one for us, but even if we decided to throw caution to the wind, the pandemic’s fallout is felt on many levels. With job uncertainty, travel restrictions from various places, and the fear of getting stuck somewhere for an extended period of time, traditional vacations are off the agenda for us. But, we are all looking for ways to escape our everyday lives and get some reprieve from screen time. We asked some friends to weigh in on some of the best options for a “staycation”.

This week's episode features an interview with Sharon Romano of High Hill Farm. Find more information about High Hill Farm at HighHillFarm.com.
