Episode 211

The holiday season can be extra crazy for homeschooling families. But along with the preparations and festivities, do you crave a little time to pause and rest?

You might feel like it’s not even possible! So listen in as Jean shares a simple grounding technique that can help you feel calm and rejuvenated, no matter how hectic your schedule is.

This is a short, simple activity that uses the five senses to anchor you in the present moment.

You might even share this practical tool with your children so you can help your entire family navigate through life’s busiest seasons.

“Peace ~ it does not mean to be in a place with no noise but to be in the midst of the chaos and still be calm in your heart.”
