Today I sat down to chat with my new friend Courtney McEwen and she shared her story of pulling her 10 year old son from a great private Christian school and transitioned him to homeschool. She shares in depth how God led them to that decision and what the transition looked like. We also talked about how important community is, and homeschooling an only child.

WARNING- I do talk about some adult themes in today's episode. Please listen with discretion.

In today's episode I share all of my takeaways from The Maven Conference in Frisco, Texas. I have really wrestled this last year with how much is too much when it comes to protecting my kids from ideologies and agendas being pushed towards them! The Maven conference allowed me to walk away confident and empowered!
