Welcome to the Canadian Homeschooler podcast, where your hosts, Lisa Marie and Alaina, have real conversations about all things homeschooling from a Canadian perspective. This podcast is an invitation to join us on the couch like a group of homeschooling friends as we tackle everything from good days to the bad, the big questions and the great resources, and connect with special guests. Our mission is to provide you with valuable resources and authentic support so you feel confident in your homeschooling journey from start to finish.
In this episode, I'm joined by Teresa Wiedrick from Capturing the Charmed Life. We talk about the Winter Blahs and Burnout, our experiences and lessons we've learned over the years, and some insight into making a difference when we face these slump times.
