Episode 108

I loved having my friend Carrie De Fransico back on the podcast today! Carrie is my real-life friend and has been a home school mentor to me in navigating home schooling teens, and especially in navigating home schooling kids with dyslexia. You can listen to her first interview with me right here. We talked about homeschooling kids with dyslexia. Carrie is a voice of peace and joy and overflows with practical wisdom about home schooling. I am grateful I know her and so glad to help you know her too!

In today’s episode we started (and maybe spent a bit too much time talking about ) with talking about Carrie’s shoe choices, but we did finally get back on track to talk about her brand new book, A Home Education Handbook: Nine Questions to Ask for Simple & Balanced Home Based Learning. This book is such a fantastic resource for anyone home schooling because it really narrows in on what matters most. I told Carrie this book is really instructions for more than home schooling kids. It is a guide for a beautiful, intentional life. I hope you’ll listen and enjoy it as much as I did.

*Don’t forget you can get more info about my upcoming Women’s Walking Retreat in the Cotswold’s right here. This retreat is perfect for any women who is looking for an opportunity to rest, celebrate, reflect, heal, or simply spend a week chasing beauty, adventure, and friendship. Spots are filling up so make sure you get info and reach out soon if you are interested.

*And if a family trip is what you’re looking for right now, then consider joining me and my family in Italy this Christmas! We’ll be hosting a trip to Rome and surrounding areas the week after Christmas with Select Tours International. The trip will be all planned out for you so you can absolutely rest and focus on time with your family! But we have also built in plenty of time to explore and adventure on your own. It’s the best of both worlds and we can’t wait to spend a week with you learning history, appreciating art, eating the most delicious food and creating lasting connection through adventure! Find out all the details here!

I loved this episode! I didn’t expect it to be a therapy session but it kind of was. Today’s guest is Katy Joy Wells, author, podcaster and decluttering expert. We had such a great time talking all about decluttering and, far more than that, what drives us to hold onto the stuff that clutters our homes. We talked about letting go of things that we’re emotionally attached to but don’t need to be anymore. We talked about the 4 types of clutter as explained in Katy’s book and how to deal with them. This episode is full of practical tips as well as meaningful truths that I personally needed to hear.

I know you’ll love this just like I did!

Episode 106

Well this is a very newsy kind of episode! I have so many fun and wonderful things to share with you that I had to just jump on and talk them out with you today.

First up, I did some reflecting on my book, It’s Time to Talk to Your Kids About Porn, being out in the world for a whole year and shared the ways we have seen God work. It’s been so hard at times and yet, so worth it.

In honor of the book being a year old, I am doing my first ever master class/book club (it’s a little of both!) with all of you! The links to sign up are below so you can jump in before the class fills up.

I also got to share our super fun family news: we’re taking another family trip to Italy, and we want you to come! That is right, a trip to Italy for the whole family, organized and led by Select Tours International and hosted by Aaron and myself. All the info at the link below. We can’t wait for you to join us!

Lastly, if you need a trip just for you and not the whole family, consider joining me on my walking retreat in the Cotswolds this fall! It will be the most wonderful, restful, beautiful, soul filling and soul healing time. Link below for all the info!

I can’t wait to see how many of you I’ll get to hang out with you this year!

With joy,

Greta
