Beth Howard is a Charlotte Mason homeschooling mother of 2 who makes her home in Colorado. As the founder of The Charlotte Mason Home, Beth helps moms pursue their own learning and growth in a way that is restful and joyful and life-giving. In this episode, Beth shares how a Charlotte Mason education is vital, not only for our children, but for us as well. You’ll hear her story of how she has homeschooled in the midst of chronic pain and how carving out space for her own mother’s education has helped her thrive even in challenging circumstances.
