Summary

When life falls apart, learning doesn’t have to. In this heartfelt conversation, Ginny Yurich sits down with Christine Alexander of Wonder and Wildflower to talk about a season of homeschooling marked by deep challenges—job loss, a cross-country move, and a year without any seatwork. And yet, in the middle of that chaos, something beautiful happened: connection deepened, resilience bloomed, and the kids kept learning in unexpected, life-giving ways. This episode is a reminder that the hard seasons are not wasted. Whether you’re homeschooling, parenting, or simply trying to do the next right thing, Christine’s story will encourage you to trust the process, let go of perfection, and embrace the sacredness of simply showing up. It’s the perfect companion to Ginny’s new book Homeschooling: You’re Doing It Right Just by Doing It, which is now available wherever books are sold. ** Learn more about Christine and all she has to offer here Get your copy of Homeschooling, You're Doing It Right Just By Doing It here Learn more about your ad choices.
