Well…pour yourself a cuppa’, get comfy, and join us! The You Can Homeschool podcast (aka Tracey and Pat) is celebrating a full year of podcasting – and we want YOU to get the benefits of it! You may find it surprising to discover some of the things one can learn after a year of…well, in this case, podcasting. But, see if you might be able to use our lessons in your homeschool in the coming year.
Hold on, tho – there’s so much MORE in this episode, so take a listen…
Pat Fenner, from Breakthrough Homeschooling, and Tracey Hagerman, author of The Happy Homeschooler, candidly discuss all things homeschooling: the good, the bad, and the brilliant. Go ahead and grab your favorite drink, find a cozy spot, and join this week’s lively discussion. Follow us on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcast, Spotify, Stitcher, Amazon, IHeart Radio, and please leave us a review! Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/you-can-homeschool/support

Lessons we’ve learned from the past year of podcasting…
that apply to your home education efforts, too!
These are some of the lessons we brought to the table in this episode…
- * The value of perseverance: little by little things get done
- * Accountability makes all the difference. Having someone along for the ride really helps you stay on track.
- * Don’t be results-driven: we do our best and leave the rest to the Lord.
- * Don’t be afraid to try new things – who know what’s gonna happen?!
- * Take ownership of what God’s called you to do!
- * Live and work using whatever schedule works for you…but DO have a schedule of sorts. Having an idea of what’s coming up prevents you from stressing out about the future.
