Ep. 5 | Bonus Sister Chat I: financial stress, 4 kids in 4 years, a learning-culture for any home, holding your tongue, parent-child feedback loops and more.

Update: 2025-08-30

Description

So, we did it! My sister, Laura, and I hid away on our Ontario vacation for an hour and chatted like we would IRL but pressed record in hopes to encourage any listeners. We share insights on our experiences raising eight children ages 1-13, homeschooling, private-schooling, and a little of everything in between.

Ever Warmly,

Olivia (and Laura)
