In this episode, we discuss The Joy of Slow by Leslie M. Martino, a book that encourages families to embrace a slower, more intentional pace of life. We explore how its themes apply to homeschooling, parenting, and everyday living — from resisting the pressure to overschedule, to finding meaning in the quiet moments. Whether you’ve read the book or are just curious about the slow living philosophy, this conversation offers inspiration and practical takeaways for creating a more peaceful homeschool rhythm.
