Together they talk about what actually helps families thrive: lowering the pressure, refusing the constant comparison game, and choosing a version of motherhood that's grounded, sane, and full of joy. Bethany shares how a big family can strengthen a marriage, how kids grow when we stop over-managing every moment, and why homeschooling (and life in general) can be less about doing more and more about letting go in the right places. If you've been craving a smarter, kinder take on modern motherhood this one will leave you encouraged.
