The Christy-Faith Show - Ep. 46 - Homeschooling with Heart // Leslie Nunnery
Transcript
If you don't set goals, if you don't know what you're shooting for and have a very clearly defined endgame, what you're going for, then you're always gonna feel like you're floating and you're never getting any traction. And that is really defeating. That is discouraging. That leads to so much friction and confusion in your home because if you aren't exactly sure where you're going, you can't take your children there either.
