What happens when your homeschool plan goes on the road—literally?

As a CC (Classical Conversations) family and longtime Autopilot user, Adrienne shares her best tactical tips for planning, packing, downsizing, and keeping your school system humming even when life's upside down.If you've ever wondered how to homeschool when your schedule and address are both a moving target, this episode is full of honest encouragement, practical hacks, and permission to let some things go so you can say yes to connection, community, and new beginnings (even if it means doing math on the trampoline).What You'll Learn About Homeschooling While MovingHow Adrienne survived three “mini-moves” in one big cross-country adventureHer secret for never losing track of curriculum (even with boxes everywhere)What to toss, keep, or give away—and why purging was actually a blessingWhy Adrienne doesn't mind letting academics take a back seat after a big moveHow using Homeschool on Autopilot helped her keep everyone on track (and sane)Tips for banking “school days” early and freeing up time for finding new friendsWhy supporting your family's emotional needs is just as critical as checking boxes—and yes, you have permission to lamentAdrienne's best hack for organizing books, prepping for high school, and making your next move smoother (even if it's just down the street)Links and Resources From Today's ShowPut Your Homeschool Year on AutopilotConsistency BootcampClassical ConversationsMagic Number SchoolingDark Clouds, Deep Mercy (book on lamenting)Homeschool Better Together CommunityFor full show notes and a transcript of today's episode, head to pambarnhill.com/hsbt38

In this powerful episode of Sex with Emily and Shroter, we're joined by Dolly, a renowned sexological bodyworker featured in Cosmopolitan and Hustler, for a deep dive into somatic sex therapy and the true path to embodied pleasure. Dolly opens up about her healing journey after a sexless marriage—how breathwork, mirror work, and intentional self-touch led her to reclaim her body and reawaken her desire.

We all say, “It's fine,” but what does that really mean? In this episode, we explore the balance between acknowledging life's struggles and still showing up. We break down why we use this phrase—whether as a coping mechanism or a shield—and when it helps versus when it holds us back. Through personal stories and practical insights, we discuss how to embrace imperfection, prioritize progress over perfection, and reframe “fine” as a sign of resilience rather than avoidance. Because sometimes, showing up—no matter how we feel—is enough. Sponsored by: The Grill Guys/VRC – Your one-stop shop for everything grilling!

In this Parenting is a Joke snack episode, comedian Ester Steinberg returns for more unfiltered takes on parenting, beauty standards, and raising kids in Las Vegas. She talks about her struggle with her son's obsession with toy weapons, the debate over giving kids Nerf guns, and the pressure of raising self-sufficient boys. Ester also shares her blunt parenting philosophy—teaching her kids that life is not fair—and why she forces them to try stand-up comedy as a form of reverse psychology. The conversation takes a deep dive into plastic surgery culture, self-image struggles, and how moms teach their kids confidence while battling their own insecurities. Plus, they discuss the logistics of being married to a fellow comedian, the drama of coordinating childcare, and why Ester might be done taking gigs at the same time as her husband. ✨ Subscribe, rate, and review!

In this deeply personal episode, I explore this complex question that carries meaning far beyond any specific group or circumstance.
