How to Inspire Heroic Virtue in Our Kids 💛


Hey Reader,

We talk a lot around here about the incredible impact stories have on our kids. They build empathy and connection, letting us walk a mile in another’s shoes.

And some stories also help us see what it looks like to be brave and courageous, even in the face of fear or daunting challenges.

Today, Audrey is back on the podcast to talk with me about how stories inspire courage in our kids.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

  • Which stories have shaped Sarah’s and Audrey’s own lives
  • The ways myths can echo profound truths

Hi Reader, When I first started homeschooling, I had a very clear picture in my head of what it would look like.
