What is wrong with our current educational system? And how can we provide our children with a high-quality education in spite of the pervasive issues? In addition to being a lifelong homeschooled student herself, Hannah Frankman uses her podcast to explore the issues in our current school system and creative solutions to provide our children an education that suits their actual needs.

In this episode, we cover: The unique capabilities Hannah noticed in herself as she entered the “real world” after being homeschooled her whole life What busyness is robbing from our children and society as a whole How boredom is actually a gift to children What a self-directed curiosity-driven education can look like from early years through high school Making a case for why homeschooled kids are actually more socialized than their public school peers Where did the public school model come from and what is broken about it?

As a homeschooling mother of eight who runs a business from home, decluttering is the only way I keep our home manageable. I have shared many times on this podcast about how minimalism has transformed our lives. Robyn of Minimalist Home has experienced the same freedom that comes from decluttering and organizing your home, and she makes it her mission to help other women get to the same place of peace. As we prepare to enter the new year, many of us have goals of simplifying, decluttering, and organizing our lives and homes. This episode addresses both the practical strategies and the mindset shifts necessary to transform your home in the new year. Join us! In this episode, we cover: The warning signs to look for to know whether you are living in chaos A simple framework to help you start crawling out of the chaos How to avoid the number one mistake people make when trying to get organized Strategies for overcoming the decision fatigue that comes with decluttering Overcoming the psychological pull that keeps us from getting rid of items we don’t need Breaking down what is happening in our brains when we struggle to declutter A manageable approach to kids’ artwork and other sentimental items Do we ever regret items we have decluttered?
