I had the privilege to sit down with Olivia Walsh, a homeschooling and work from home mama who works for Classical Conversations, a homeschool company. Olivia was homeschooled herself, and now she homeschools her young children while maintaining her full time job. I know so many of us are in the season of trying to find a way to balance all the things, so you’re going to love getting to hear from Olivia today. We talk about homeschooling littles and where to start, how to choose a curriculum, balancing work and home, and so much more. If you’re a homeschool mama or you’ve been curious about homeschool, lean in and enjoy today’s episode of the Joy Filled Podcast!

Homeschooling Littles While Working a Full Time Job with Olivia Walsh

In a culture trying to sell us the lie that we should be anything but “just a mom”, Joy Filled exists to come alongside you and help you thrive in this season at home and experience the fullness of joy in the simplicity of homemaking and raising a family. The early years of motherhood are hard, but they’re so so good. I’m determined to give these ‘good old days’ everything I’ve got and I’m bringing you along with me. We’ll host honest conversations on faith, motherhood, homemaking, and everything in between. My prayer is that you leave encouraged in Christ, equipped to carry the weight of motherhood with joy, and reminded of the truth that God has given you everything you need to steward your arrows well. There is so much joy here. Let’s experience it together. The Joy Filled Podcast is a part of the Christian Parenting Podcast Network.

How Understanding God’s Story Changes Ours with Courtney Doctor

Ohh, social media… We hate to love it and we love to hate it, BUT I believe that God can redeem it for His glory when we partner with Him to set boundaries and create a healthy relationship with it. So today, I’m sharing with you how you can walk in freedom from the comparison cycle that is so easy to fall into on social media, stop doom scrolling, and have practical tools in your back pocket for anytime comparison tries to sneak into your mind.     CONNECT WITH JENNA    JOY FILLED ON IG    Check out Armoire and use my code JOYFILLED for up to 50% off: www.armoire.style/JOYFILLED

Finding Freedom From Comparison on Social Media

Tara Dew is joining us today to talk about living a joy filled life that is rooted in Christ. In Tara’s new book, Overflowing Joy, she walks us through Jesus’ teaching of the vine and the branches in John 15. Tara teaches us what that means and what it looks like to practically abide in Him so that our joy can be complete. We talk about gratitude and how that unlocks so much joy and cantonment in this life, living rooted in joy even in the early years of motherhood, and the great calling of raising kids that are rooted in Christ. Tara truly lives out this message of living with Overflowing Joy and I know you’re going to be so blessed by her today.    CONNECT WITH JENNA    JOY FILLED ON IG    Check out Armoire and use my code JOYFILLED for up to 50% off: www.armoire.style/JOYFILLED
