Mama Says Namaste Podcast
Join Nathan and Ashley Logsdon as they walk you down a path of intentional parenting...and living. As they RV the States full time and unschool their 3 daughters, they invite you not to only hear their story, but create your own. They’ll take you from chaos to clarity by understanding personality styles, bringing awareness and intention into your home, not waiting for “one day”, and highlighting how the uniqueness in each of us strengthens all of us. Each week they deliver a podcast that is under an hour (typically 30 min), diving deep into the topics Ashley writes about on www.MamaSaysNamaste.com.
