We’re back! I’m so excited to be back to podcasting. Our goal is to share a new episode every week.
You can also watch the live video version on Youtube.
In this episode, Jonathan and I discuss failure, how to overcome feeling like a failure, and how to properly define success and failure so that we aren’t holding ourselves to impossible standards. As a homeschool parent, I feel like a failure often. It comes upon me when I try to go to bed at night: regret. “Would have”, “should have”, and “could have” abound. Tomorrow will be better I tell myself, only to discover that I fall just as short the next day as I did the day before.
