EP 35: How She Learns: My Personal Continuing Education Journey Mar 07, 2019

Show notes

Today is the FINAL installment of this Learning How to Live Series -- which makes this the END of Season 4! What I tried to do, and hope I accomplished, was take the categories we've been discussing these past few weeks and show how they play out in my own life – not because the way I do it is the one right way, but simply because it's always useful to have an example of how this might work. I hope you find it helpful as we look at different ways to learn in the midst of busy days!

Thank you for joining me this season. Please make sure you're subscribed so that you're notified when AfterCast come back after the break.

EP 34: A Mama's Continuing Education: Oh, the Endless Possibilities! Feb 28, 2019

Show notes

Today is NOT just a review. Yes, we walk through everything we've learned over this huge series and remind ourselves of the amazingly numerous possibilities. But the point isn't the review – the point is to think of these as categories and then discover what similar options exist for us today. I think you'll find some real gems to help keep you learning in the midst of your busy days.

EP 33: Becoming a Charlotte Mason Teacher in a Utilitarian World Feb 21, 2019

Show notes

Today we begin to end our Learning How to Live series. We're heading toward application. Before we get too practical, we need to discuss the WHY. Why keep learning? There are some good reasons to learn and some bad or insufficient reasons to learn, and it takes wisdom to know the difference. Listen up for an exploration of the heart of self-education.

EP 30: On Mother Culture Jan 31, 2019

Show notes

Today, we take a look at something called Mother Culture. If you found the idea of a Mothers' Education Course, which we talked about in Episodes 27 and 28, overwhelming, this is the solution for you. Make sure you listen to the end so you hear all about the freebie tracker I offer that makes Mother Culture even more fun.

EP 29: The Mother's Compass Jan 24, 2019

Show notes

Today, I'm interrupting our Charlotte Mason series to bring you this season's special conversation. Brittney McGann is back with me today; I hope you recognize her from last season. Brittney has been studying Charlotte Mason for over seven years. Mason's philosophy embodies all the things Brittney loved about her own upbringing and everything she would have wished for in her education, had she known it was possible. Brittney hosted the Grace to Build Retreat in Black Mountain, North Carolina for three years and has presented workshops at multiple Charlotte Mason conferences. These days she is teaching her three children, leading two Charlotte Mason groups and working with her husband to restore native plants to their 3.5 acres.

Today, Brittney and I discuss the "Mother's Compass". We talk about working within limitations -- for both ourselves and our children. It's a great discussion you won't want to miss!
