Have you ever felt guilty for needing a break—from homeschooling, from the to-do list, from the chaos?
In this episode, I’m giving you the permission slip you didn’t know you needed: a day off isn’t failure—it’s faithfulness. You’ll discover how to build rest into your rhythm (without falling behind), why your kids still learn even when school is paused, and 3 simple, soul-filling ways to reset when everything feels heavy. I’ll also share personal stories—including how a spontaneous rest day brought our family back to joy, and a wise friend’s advice that shaped the way I think about “bad homeschool days” forever.
Whether you’re feeling burnt out or just wondering what a restful, connected homeschool could look like—this one’s for you.
