AMDG. In a continuation of last week's episode, Lisa Popcak shares her advice for new homeschooling families, including what aspects of education matter most and what worked in her own family. “I had promised her… you will be 100% fine,” Lisa recalled. “And sure enough, she got recruited by her college… and got almost a full ride to be a pre-med student.” Lisa reflects on her children leaving the home for college, navigating hard seasons in the home, liturgical living, and so much more.

AMDG. Catholic podcaster and co-founder/vice-president of CatholicCounselors.comLisa Popcak shares her wisdom on homeschooling and raising children in the faith. Lisa advocates for “flow” rather than structure in the homeschool day and paints a picture of what a rich— but achievable— prayer life looks like in a busy home. “We have to get away from the idea that our prayer life has to be rigorous,” Lisa says. “If our children are called to a rigorous monastic life, God will give them the grace for that. We have many saints who were… and many saints who went a different way.” Kolbecast episodes mentioned & relevant: 255 Family Life as Liturgy with Dr. Greg Popcak 131 It's All about Relationship with Danielle Bean Related links: CatholicHOM (Households on Mission) CatholicCounselors.com More2Life Radio & podcasts Books by Dr. Greg & Lisa Popcak Momfidence podcast BeDADitudes podcast Hold On to Your Kids: Why Parents Need to Matter More than Peers by Gordon Neufeld & Gabor Maté Have questions or suggestions for future episodes or a story of your own experience that you'd like to share?
