Episode 212
Harness the energy of a fresh start to transform your homeschooling journey this year.
In this episode of the podcast, Jean shares three new strategies to kindle your inner spark and inspiration after a transition such as the holiday season and New Year’s.
Sometimes, the post-holiday shift can be even harder than the beginning of a brand-new homeschooling year in the fall.
Jean’s three strategies will help you embrace this season’s emphasis on inner growth so you can feel more grounded and connected to yourself and your children.
Start with gentle rhythms and rituals, dear homeschool parent, and try one of these simple strategies.

“Uncertainty has so much to teach us…By having the courage to leave the shore, we trade the illusion of control for the possibility of discovery. Rather than resisting uncertainty, we befriend it. The first step is to rekindle your curiosity to imagine new possibilities.”
