What if the very challenges of motherhood—laundry, meals, endless to-dos—were actually stepping stones on the road to sainthood?
In this week’s episode of the Homeschool Connections Podcast, host Kaitlin Zara sits down with Emily Wilson Husom, author of Sincerely Stoneheart. Together they talk about embracing motherhood without bitterness, breaking free from the culture of complaint, resisting the lies of the enemy, and rediscovering joy in the daily duties of family life.
Emily also shares the personal awakening that inspired her book, practical steps to be more present in a phone-driven world, and encouragement for moms navigating self-image, social pressures, and the unique challenges of Catholic homeschooling.
If you’re a Catholic mom who needs a reminder that God is at work in the mess and the mundane, this conversation will uplift your heart and encourage your homeschool journey.
