Why do we have such a hard time resting? I don’t know the answer to that, but I do know that we’re more isolated than ever, more confused than ever, and more uncertain than ever. Is it any wonder that we’re more tired than ever? Also in this episode: hear how our family’s COVID test went. (Results still pending).

Okay, so you’re thinking about homeschooling. Now what? Today I sat down with my dear friend and seasoned home educator Katie Leipprandt and she laid it all out there for anyone considering this option. That’s not you? This episode is still for you.

Today is a first: I break format to reflect on what race means (and doesn't mean) to me. As a Thai and Sioux Indian woman, raised in a racist household, disconnected from both my Thai and Sioux heritage, I admit this gives me the privilege of being ambiguously ethnic, where people often forget that I’m not white. We are 47 days post George Floyd’s death and the world should look different. I want to know: what have you been mulling over these last couple of months? How’s your heart?  Today’s episode is brought to you by Better Help, the largest online counseling platform, worldwide.
