Hey, Hey, Hey, Julie Bogart here. This is the Brave Rider podcast, a podcast focused on how to help you gather the strength, resources, and

optimism to do a great job of adulting, parenting, and home educating.

And wow, season six of this podcast is off to a sprint.

I was going over to the analytics page of the podcast

and was floored to discover that there have been over 100,000

downloads in just the last four weeks.

Thank you for all the reviews, the sharing, the listening, and the energy you bring to our conversations.

I'd like to pick a review each week and read it on the podcast just to honor you and thank you.

North Star Mama wrote the following review on iTunes this past week.

I'm just starting my homeschool journey and this podcast has been so helpful in mentoring

me along.

Every time I listen, I come away with a small step I can take to improve the culture of my home and the quality of

Julie's wisdom and experience. Well, thank you. I love

sharing.
