67//The Gift You Don’t Have to Earn

Hi friend,

As we come to the end of 2025, I wanted to pause with you and name the gift that often gets lost in the middle of homeschooling and everyday life.

In this episode of Catch Your Breath, I reflect on the freedom, rest, and grace Jesus offers us right where we are—at the kitchen table, in unfinished lessons, and in the weight we carry into the next day.

This isn’t an episode about catching up, fixing your homeschool, or planning a better new year. It’s about releasing guilt for the days that didn’t look the way you hoped and remembering that God’s mercy meets us new every morning.

I talk about what it looks like to trust God in seasons we don’t fully understand, to stop carrying pressure that was never ours to hold, and to allow rest even when the list is still there.

I also pray for you and with you as you close out this year—over your homeschooling, your home, and your heart.

If this season has felt full, messy, or unfinished, this episode is an invitation to slow down and breathe.

The gift has already been given.

One Thing for Today:

Name one place in your homeschool where guilt has crept in—and release it.

Take a breath.

You’re allowed to rest.
