Ready to trade overwhelm for joy this homeschool year?If you’ve ever wished for a homeschooling break that actually refills your cup without the speaker overload of a massive conference or the pressure to “do it all,” this episode is your permission slip. I’m sitting down with Barbara Cozens to talk about what really happens at a We Gather Together Beach Retreat.Barbara traveled to the 2023 retreat from snowy Nevada for some well-deserved rest, good company, and inspiration. She’s sharing her honest take on what surprised her, what she brought home for her own kids, and why she believes every mom needs time away before she reaches burnout.If you’re debating whether to join us at the retreat, have big “what ifs” about coming alone, or don’t even own a pair of flip-flops, this is the episode to press play.
