Does your homeschooling heart need a vacation? 🌴


Dear Reader,

Summer break . . . It’s often not much of a break, right?

Even if you find yourself with a little less on your plate, anxiety and second-guessing have a way of filling the gaps where we want rest and relaxation to fill.

To find peace that lasts throughout the school year, we can’t just “take a break.”

We need to break free from the stories and fears that keep us mired in anxiety.

When homeschooling moms ask me for advice, they rarely need advice. What they’re really asking for is reassurance, a chance to take a breath and let go of anxiety or fear, so they can trust themselves and trust that the Holy Spirit will guide them.

The RAR team selected some of our favorite pieces of wisdom on the theme of rest and reassurance from the RAR Premium private podcast, Circle with Sarah.

Think of this episode as a little vacation for your homeschooling heart.

In this episode, you'll hear:

  • How acting like we know we're loved helps us let go of anxiety
  • What we’re actually responsible for when it comes to raising our kids
  • How you know when you’re doing enough
