005 | Why I Chose The Well-Educated Heart for Our Homeschooling
from Refining Our Focus in Motherhood | Filling homes with faith, whole health, heart-centered learning · host Nikki and Staci
In this opening episode of our homeschooling series, I share our family’s homeschool story including how we began, why we chose to leave traditional schooling, and how our understanding of education has slowly transformed over the past eight years. What started as “school at home” eventually became something much deeper. God gently led us toward a vision of education rooted in relationship, character, and faith. In this episode, we talk about releasing the need to be “on track,” redefining success, and embracing the mother’s role as a living example of loving what is good, true, and beautiful. If you’ve ever felt tired, unsure, or quietly longing for a better way, this episode is an invitation to breathe, reflect, and remember that God gives the growth.
