When Homeschooling Feels Hard with Emelie Pepito


Listen Later

What if homeschooling was hard simply because there were still some areas where past pain continued to steal the joy and whimsy from our present life? And what if taking our precocious, intelligent 4-year-old from preschool to 12th grade, without turning them into "barely interested test takers", was possible? What if everything we thought about education was a myth? What if a little more balance and less stress could have a whole lot of impact? 


In this delightful episode 101, Emelie and Jennifer talk about balance, baking bread, homeschooling, how life can steal our joy, why traditional workbook studies for our kids are detrimental to cultivating intelligence and much more. 


This episode is for every mom with a deep love for her family and a lot of work to get through daily. We understand that life is demanding, but it doesn't have to be draining. Enjoy this podcast's wisdom, insight and practical hopefulness to help calm your life down and find the space to focus on what matters.
