SS #73: A Scholé for All Seasons
Today’s episode is extra long! Our topic is scholé and how it changes with the seasons of motherhood. Brandy, Pam, Mystie, and Abby talked about having all preschoolers, starting to homeschool, the teen years, and then guessed what the particular challenges might be in launching children. It was a long episode because it’s a big topic!

Scholé is the opposite of stress.
I have been listening to the Schole Sisters for two or three years now and, though I have enjoyed every single episode prior, this one was especially encouraging. I loved hearing how your Schole journeys morphed and grew with you and your families. I particularly loved Pam’s can of worms because I never liked to read until becoming an adult, so I have A LOT of growing to do in the area of reading widely. Thanks for the reminder that reading is only a part of Schole.
