Send Shannon A NoteIn this episode, Shannon chats with Kathryn Garland, who shares her incredible journey from city life in Ontario to homesteading and homeschooling in British Columbia. Kathryn opens up about her initial doubts about homeschooling and how, with the wise words of a friend she realized, "You CAN. If you want to." She discusses the loose structure of their days, where her kids help set the rhythm, and how homesteading uniquely enriches their learning experiences. They explore what "home" truly means, from Kathryn's homestead dreams to Shannon's warm memories of her grandparents' loving, consistent home. The conversation also dives into the importance of reconnecting with oneself in motherhood, carving out quiet moments, and the powerful need for female communities.
