261 Lisa Popcak - Make It about Relationship

AMDG. In a continuation of last week’s episode, Lisa Popcak shares her advice for new homeschooling families, including what aspects of education matter most and what worked in her own family. “I had promised her… you will be 100% fine,” Lisa recalled. “And sure enough, she got recruited by her college… and got almost a full ride to be a pre-med student.”  

Lisa reflects on her children leaving the home for college, navigating hard seasons in the home, liturgical living, and so much more.
