A Brave Writer's Life in Brief

How can I get my kids to be more creative?

Raise your hand if you’ve ever asked that question.

✋

(Yep, us too.)

Rather than the kids, what if creativity starts with us, the grown-ups? It’s not something we get our kids to do; it becomes something “in the air” of our home and family.

We can show you how to magically assist a creative habit in only 15 minutes a day!

Cultivating a Family Art Habit

Do you sometimes feel like you’ve lost yourself? Like you struggle to remember what’s fun or interesting or stimulating for YOU?

• What do you love?
• What excites you?
• Do you have something for yourself not tied to your family or homeschooling?

Parenting demands a lot of you. When you also homeschool, you add another layer of responsibility and commitment.

It may feel radical to stop and declare: I matter too! When you find a way to value your own adult life too, you gain energy for all the rest of your tasks. Together, we’ll discover what being an adult can mean for you.

Let’s reignite YOUR learning!

I want to share with you how the exercises I discovered in Barbara Sher’s book, Wishcraft, helped me invest in my own aspirations while homeschooling.

You don’t have to wait until homeschooling is over to realize your own dreams! In Brave Learner Home, we’ll explore the craft of making your wishes for yourself come true.

Webinar: Reignite YOUR Learning with Julie
Thursday, February 16 at 7:00 pm (Eastern)

Your life is not only about these other precious people you selflessly serve. It is also about your one precious life.

I hope you’ll join me in this first step into awesome adulting.

Can’t wait to see you inside!

A lot depends on you. 

This is both good news and bad news.

The good news is that you can set the tone, make the choices, create the energy, and foster an environment of peace and learning. 

The bad news is that it is up to you to set the tone, make the choices, create the energy, and foster an environment of peace and learning. 

But this is where I can help.

I want to offer you a FREE Master Class that will show you how to lean into the properties of home, not school, and create the homeschool you dream of.

Whether it’s a new semester, a new school year, or you simply need to inject some coziness into your day, this free Master Class and webinar will give you practical ideas you can implement right away.

Re-Upping Your Homeschool

Then, on Thursday night, I’m hosting a LIVE webinar to talk about a reality for many homeschoolers: re-upping moments. 

One thing I know for sure about raising kids is that they grow and change. Homeschool parents have to shift energy and make appropriate changes as their child grows from grade to grade and stage to stage.

Those are your re-upping moments. 

Join me this month and learn how to shift energy and make appropriate changes when it’s time to up your homeschool game. Live attendees get to participate in personal coaching with me! Ask me any homeschool question you want—I’m here to help. 

Join me for the next Brave Learner Home webinar:

• January Webinar: Re-Upping Your Homeschool
• Thursday, January 5 at 7:00 pm (Eastern)

It’s that time of year when you don’t WANT to do the usual routine but feel guilty for NOT doing it!

I know.

The truth is, though, you can meet your homeschool goals while taking a holiday break!

Learn how to incorporate the three Rs into your family holiday traditions.

I will share specific activities that I created for my family.

Join me for the next Brave Learner Home webinar:

• December Webinar: Homeschooling in the Holiday Spirit
• Thursday, December 8 at 7:00 pm (Eastern)

Live attendees get to participate in personal coaching with me!

Sometimes when homeschooling, I thought I wasn’t doing enough.

Somewhere along the way, I had acquired the belief: rigor is the key to learning.

Do you think like this? A rigorous education means being prepared for the next step in life, whether it’s middle school, high school, or college?

Yet at the same time, I also wanted to keep joy alive. 

I’ve got good news for you: 

It’s possible to have a rich, requirement-meeting, joy-filled homeschool!

Rigor? Not necessary.

Sign up in time to be at my next Brave Learner Home webinar:

• The Myth of Rigor and Requirements in Homeschool
• Thursday, November 10 at 7:00 pm (Eastern)

We’ll dig deep and give you practical steps you can implement right away!
