    In this episode, Cody reconnects with one of his very first guests, Rebecca Stuart, to explore the intersection of homeschooling, health, and holistic living in today’s post-pandemic world.
    They discuss how families are rethinking education, health, and freedom—and how nutrition, environment, and mindful parenting all play a role in raising resilient, critical-thinking kids.

    Rebecca shares her personal journey through over a decade of homeschooling, her creative approaches to individualized learning, and how she integrated whole-food nutrition and wellness into her children’s education.

    • Nutrition, food dyes, and how diet impacts children’s mental health

    • Balancing parental burnout and self-care while homeschooling

    • Teaching kids critical thinking, emotional awareness, and boundaries

    • The power of conversation and repair in healthy parent-child relationships

    • The future of education and nurturing lifelong learners

    • Rebecca’s Online High School Health Course: LibertyWellnessAndCo.com
      A semester-long course for homeschoolers that teaches teens how to take ownership of their physical and emotional health.

    • Sherri Gilford’s Health Curriculum for Kids (Ages 6–11) — playful, Weston A. Price-inspired family health learning.

    “It’s not about shielding kids from ideas—it’s about teaching them how to think critically when they’re ready.” — Cody Cox

    “We’re not going to get everything right as parents. What matters most is that we apologize, repair, and keep learning together.” — Rebecca Stuart
