We have Rachel Figg back on the podcast to talk about all things homeschool + burnout. Listen friend, even if you aren't homeschooling I believe that this conversation with Rachel will help you when you face burnout in life. Because burnout is REAL and (almost) unavoidable.

Homeschooling can feel beautiful and unique while also feeling lonely and isolating (which often contributes to burnout). But it doesn't have to! Your life is meant to be enjoyed - and so is your homeschool journey.

In this episode Rachel + I discuss:

• How homeschooling can be unique to your family.
• Burnout - ways to support yourself in it AND how you can avoid it
• Focusing on your family culture and not comparing it to other families.
• How homeschool and life can flow together naturally.

Let's dive in.

If you expect stress, you get stress. It's that simple - stress is a choice. You can choose another way.

And as back to school season approaches, stress naturally tends to ramp up. But YOU have the power to control that. The mindset you have going into this season will determine the experience you have while you are in it.

This episode is from an Instagram Live I did and it was SO good that I knew I needed it to live on the podcast too. So grab your coffee, tea, water, or wine ... and let's dive into this together.

We go through so many situations and so many traumas and there can be so much anxiety throughout our lives. I know that for me, I have struggled with anxiety for a really long time and even been diagnosed with PTSD. Something that I have come to learn is that I have to be in control of what I think and feel. If I allow my anxiety to come with me into certain situations, what I’ve realized is that it kind of passes through. It comes and it goes. Ultimately, one of the best ways to handle anxiety is to be honest with yourself and think “when this is all over, how do I want to feel?” I hope that today’s anxiety hack helps you along your journey.

I don’t think we truly understand the dangers of self-criticism. We are always so focused on what we did terribly instead of the things that we succeeded in or checked off of our list. We are human and sometimes our brains just go there, but what if someone talked to us the way that we talk to ourselves? Friend, I want to encourage you to see yourself for the good. Look past the amount of water you didn’t drink, the mom fails, and the imperfections and let’s encourage ourselves today. The self-criticism has to go.
