Show notes

Who else has ever felt overwhelmed?

I have seven kids, I homeschool, I work, I run the house and yard, and I have a husband who often travels for work. How could I not feel overwhelmed?

This was a story I held onto for years until I had a coach question my story. She asked me what if overwhelm was optional?I sat back for a while and just thought about. Is overwhelm truly optional?

I want to talk more about overwhelm and if it is optional, how do you stop feeling it, and is it a problem to feel overwhelmed sometimes.

#209 Hobbies and Homeschool May 17, 2023

Show notes

A hobby is an activity that is done regularly in one's leisure time for pleasure. The research shows that spending time on an activity that you enjoy can improve your mental health and wellbeing. Research shows that people with hobbies are less likely to suffer from stress, low mood, and depression. Activities that get you out and about can make you feel happier and more relaxed.

That all sounds beautiful, but how in the world does one have time for a hobby AND homeschool?

That's what I want to cover in today's podcast episode. How to have a hobby and homeschool.
