Have you ever felt like you are just too tired or too introverted for this homeschooling journey that you're on?

But you know you actually long to thrive and enjoy it, you want to look back and realize you've created beautiful memories in your life and your children's lives!
 

I remember the days of being a new homeschool mom. My kids were little, and it was a journey I hadn't anticipated. And I wished so much that there was somebody who could help me see the vision of what homeschooling could be for my family. Someone who would have been able to help me not fear. I wished for someone to model this life to me.

How could we balance a life where we homeschooled, did all the "mom stuff" and possibly even took on some side work or hobbies? I wanted someone to show me, "How do we do the food here? What's a snapshot like of the teenage season? Can you help me learn how to control mom anger?"

I really wanted to understand these things. But I didn't know anybody I could talk to.

If YOU are READY to learn these things that I wanted to know so badly at the beginning of my journey, or you just want some encouragement through hearing two veteran homeschool moms talk about how it's all worked out in the end for us.... this is a great episode for you.

I'm talking with Leigh from Little By Little Homeschool. She is a precious friend and fellow podcaster. She and I share our hearts and our experiences from the nearly decade and a half of homeschooling we have each done. Collectively think we've got almost 30 years under our belts.

Grab your warm laundry and ear buds, and let's have a heart to heart! 

XOXO, 
Katie

In this week's episode of the Balancing Chaos podcast, Kelley welcomes Taylor Kulik, an advocate for families who choose not to sleep train their infants. Taylor is an occupational therapist turned holistic sleep consultant with a passion for non-toxic living, homeschooling, and snuggling babies all night. Years ago, Taylor was struggling with trusting what she knew was best for her children, and was consumed by fear-based parenting. This experience led to her passion for sharing her experiences and education with other parents who are going through the same journey to help lead them from fear to freedom.

Today, Kelley and Taylor discuss the concept of self-soothing and how babies are not capable of self-regulation. Instead, babies are meant to co-regulate and borrow calm from a calm caregiver. They discuss how certain types of sleep training can raise cortisol levels in infants, insights on infant sleep and how to bed share safely, how co-sleeping benefits mental health for both parents and children, how to transition children into their own beds, and the most common reasons beyond children that adults aren't sleeping well or deal with insomnia. To learn more about co-sleeping and improving sleep for both baby and parents, tune into this episode!

Listen to this before you take CBD. It is so important so you don't end up consuming concentrated toxins. If you can believe it I first learned of CBD from my midwife when I was six months pregnant and I have been crazy passionate about it since. But regulation hasn't caught up with the booming industry and it is important that you know everything I share in this episode so you are making educated decisions. 

Thanks for listening! I would love to connect with you ♡

 Exploring how healthy eating and sleeping relate to the Waldorf approach.

 In this episode I'm speaking to my own experience growing up attending a Waldorf school and how it came across that healthy eating and sleeping were related to the Waldorf philosophy. I'm also hosting returning guest, anthroposophical doctor, Dr. Adam Blanning, to speak with me about the relationship between Waldorf and healthy eating and sleeping. In addition, towards the end of this episode, I wrap up this final episode of the seventh season and speak about what's next for Waldorfy.

In this episode we're exploring what we mean when we talk about "wonder and awe" for young children, and how this relates to the Waldorf approach. I was so fortunate to get to host Waldorf teacher, Meredith Floyd-Preston, as my guest for this episode. Meredith hosts a podcast about Waldorf education from her perspective as an experienced Waldorf teacher called the Waldorf Journey podcast.

Play. It's such a simple topic, but one I really felt had to be highlighted in this season due to how integral it is to the Waldorf approach. In this episode, returning guest and listener favorite, Tim Bennett is back, to speak with me all about play. Together we explore why play is such a big part of the Waldorf approach, how play supports a child's natural development, how we as parents carers can create plenty of space for play, and so much more!

In this episode, we follow up with Meghann and how things have been since we last talked.
 
Reba's oldest daughter, Alexa, weighs in on the receiving end of holistic parenting and some of the things she appreciates most about Reba's parenting style. 

In this bonus episode, parenting is on our minds and hearts. Meghann struggles and seeks advice from Reba with her current season of parenting.  The kids aren't listening, the family dynamic is tense, and nothing seems to be working.

Reba brings peaceful and empowering parenting advice and a healthy dose of perspective to help Meghann regain ground and restore her parenting zen.

It seems simple enough, but what IS a Waldorf toy? In this episode my guest Meagan of Whole Family Rhythms and I talk all about Waldorf toys. What kind of play are Waldorf toys meant to inspire? Why all natural materials? These are just some of the questions we explore in this episode.
