Episode 208
Dear homeschooler, ever feel like life’s chaos is hijacking your brain? Listen in as experienced homeschooler and mentor Jean Miller offers you a permission slip for simple.
Our brain often misinterprets emotional stress as physical danger, which is a phenomenon known as amygdala hijacking.
In this episode of the podcast, Jean offers practical strategies that will be a balm for your nervous system.
The 20-20-20 Rule (details inside Homeschool Simplicity 101) and Handwork + Stories can provide much-needed ease and simplicity for times when homeschooling and life become overwhelming.
Because connection, not perfection, is the secret sauce for successful homeschooling.
