Episode Details

Today, we’re revisiting a listener-favorite episode that has some advice and an activity that I think are perfect for this time of year in our homeschools.

Jon Acuff, author of All It Takes Is a Goal, joined me a while back for a perspective-shifting conversation about setting and achieving goals for our homeschools, and how looking back at our best moments, from major milestones to pockets of joy, helps us envision the kind of future we really want. 

Jon also shares some practical tips for reframing the urge to compare ourselves to others, especially on social media, giving ourselves credit for what we’re already doing–because it’s definitely more than you think–and approaching goals with a “some is better than none” mindset.

In this episode, you’ll hear: 

• How taking stock of your past best moments helps you be more grateful and present for the moments happening right now
• Why having dreams and goals bigger than your calendar is actually a gift 
• A simple key to finding goals that work for you and your family
