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.

🧠 Practical tools
💛 Faith-based encouragement
🧺 Real-life solutions for overwhelmed moms

Plus, I’ll share a family favorite resource that blends learning and joy without extra prep—so your “day off” can still be full of meaningful connection.

XOXO,
Katie
