Summary

It was so fun to sit down and chat with Francesca about many of the things we share in common. We dive into what it looks like to balance the many responsibilities of a working, homeschooling, homesteading mother of many. Francesca shares the story of her music career and how it has changed throughout different seasons of life. We discuss how cultivating a simple life at home away from the hustle can be such a gift to ourselves and our families. Join me for this encouraging conversation about all things motherhood with Francesca Battistelli!
