Summary

In this heartwarming episode of The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast, host Ginny Yurich welcomes her dear friend, Rachel Kovac, to share her inspiring homeschooling journey and the creative pursuits that bring her life. Rachel, a mother of six, has been homeschooling since her oldest was in the third grade, curating a rich educational experience filled with time outdoors, music, and imaginative exploration. She emphasizes the importance of allowing childhood to unfold slowly, embracing a less structured approach. Rachel discusses how homeschooling has given her family the precious gift of time, enabling them to pursue individual passions and model a culture of lifelong learning and creativity. She shares the significance of staying grounded in our bodies amidst a screen-saturated world and how creative processes like sewing have been a source of healing and resilience during challenging times. As a DIY enthusiast from a resourceful background, Rachel talks about the impact of simple creative expressions and the challenges of maintaining quality in a fast-paced social media landscape. She highlights her Substack series, featuring interviews with inspiring creators, and delves into her love for sewing, particularly for children, encouraging listeners to embrace new skills and praise effort over innate ability. Rachel also reflects on the deep-rooted influence of teenage experiences, the importance of modeling resilience, and the beauty of nurturing individual interests for the benefit of family and community. She shares her passion for reading, the timeless wisdom found in old books, and the profound impact of writers like Wendell Berry on her life. Join Ginny and Rachel for an enriching conversation filled with insights on homeschooling, creativity, resilience, and the pursuit of a fulfilling, intentional life. ** Follow Rachel on her Substack here Follow Rachel on Instagram @rachelstitchedtogether ** Download your free 1000 Hours Outside tracker here >> https://www.1000hoursoutside.com/trackers Find everything you need to kick off your 1000 Hours Outside Journey here >> https://www.1000hoursoutside.com/blog/allthethings Order of copy of Ginny's newest book, Until the Streetlights Come On here >> https://amzn.to/3RXjBlN Learn more about your ad choices.
