Episode #23 – Thoughts on Being a Mom and a Teacher
In this episode, I’m excited to tell you a little bit more about homeschooling! Particularly about what learning at home over this last year has been like for my family and for me as both teacher and mom. Guys, I’m going to bare it all to you. These are my personal thoughts on what it’s been like for me, but I bet many of you can relate as you also took on these new roles this year. And, I’m also going to share the insights I’ve gained this year from working with some really fantastic families.
Tune in for some real, honest, and raw thoughts on what it’s like to be both mom and teacher. I’m hoping you can relate or learn something new!
