Welcome to season four of the Brave Writer Podcast, A Brave Writers Life in Brief.

I'm Julie Bogart, your host.

This season we are releasing via audio our most popular YouTube broadcasts.

We're so excited that you can now listen to these on audio

while you're running, driving in the car, or folding laundry.

We will also sprinkle throughout this season.

Original content, interviews with people I think are compelling to listen to.

If you get a chance, please help us out by leaving a review at iTunes

or Stitcher or wherever you listen to Brave Writers Podcast. We really appreciate it. It helps us get the word out and it also gratifies all the people behind the scenes who worked so hard to bring these to you for free.

And now, let's get going with this episode.

So one of the topics that keeps showing up in the places where I talk to home educators is what is it to have a satisfying adult life. How can I nourish and enrich my life when I am so

depleted giving out so much stuff to my kids. And here's the crazy thing. While I am always trying to take

the burden off of you in homeschooling and create space for you to feel that you are not overwhelmed?

It sounds like maybe I inadvertently laid a burden on some of you when I said

that one of the best gifts you can give your kids is to lead an awesome adult life

so that they will be inspired to want to become awesome adults themselves.

So this is what we want to talk about today.

It's a very important topic.

It's one I'm passionate about the

the enchanted education, the idea that your children deserve a life

that has surprise, mystery, risk, and adventure.

And it is easy for me to help you feel like you are doing great things with your life by enriching your children's lives.
