SS #00 – Welcome to Scholé Sisters (Our Introductory Episode!!)
An introductory episode, naturally, needs to cover all the basics. In this episode, we start by introducing ourselves. Then, we discuss the word scholé – how is it pronounced? What does it mean? After that, we discuss Scholé Sisters groups.
Pam and Brandy have more formal groups, while Mystie has mastered the fine art of informal scholé with friends. And then, we finish up by explaining the podcast itself – what it’s for, the format of the show, how it’s going to work, that sort of thing.
Grab a cup of something yummy and get ready for a treat!

I enjoyed this first podcast and am looking forward to the next one. The easy, conversational tone and the fact that you are all friends made it very fun to listen to. Your laughter put me in mind of my own good conversations with friends. 🙂
Sounds fun…looking forward to more 🙂
Thanks, Jessica! That’s what we were going for. I hope they are as much fun to listen to as they were to record. 🙂
This was so inspiring, ladies! I had a question for Pam: I loved your three ways of looking at how schole plays out in our homeschools. Would it be ok with you to use those categories as a sort of weekly review on my blog, sharing examples of how we are living out the idea of schole, both intentionally and spontaneously? I realized just while listening that we have done all three just this week, which was encouraging. 🙂
Thank you all for putting this podcast together!
I really enjoyed the first episode – it was great fun to listen to you three ladies chat. I love how you talked about using our free time to learn and grow – that’s exactly what I try to do. And it does overflow into our homeschools – maybe not always in direct, measurable ways, but I know it makes a big difference in my enthusiasm and willingness to stick to it.
Of course it would Anna! Come share a link when you get a review up so we can see.
Here’s my first post – I’m hoping to do it regularly as a sort of weekly review of our homeschool. 🙂

Loved it!
Yay! ♥

I found it! Voxer! Thank you!!
