In this episode, Shannon chats with Kathryn Garland, who shares her incredible journey from city life in Ontario to homesteading and homeschooling in British Columbia. Kathryn opens up about her initial doubts about homeschooling and how, with the wise words of a friend she realized, "You CAN. If you want to." She discusses the loose structure of their days, where her kids help set the rhythm, and how homesteading uniquely enriches their learning experiences. They explore what "home" truly means, from Kathryn's homestead dreams to Shannon's warm memories of her grandparents' loving, consistent home. The conversation also dives into the importance of reconnecting with oneself in motherhood, carving out quiet moments, and the powerful need for female communities. Tune in for an inspiring discussion about intentional living, the art of making a home, and finding fulfillment in the simple, everyday moments.
About Kathryn:
Kathryn Garland is a wife and mother, the badges she wears the proudest. She has always wanted to be those two people and is greatly blessed with four amazing children. As she got more entrenched in motherhood, she began to realize how much more important being a homeMAKER was than she ever imagined. Her mission and purpose is to help people see the power of the home and the possibilities that come from a safe and grounded home (in the heart, in relationships, in the physical dwelling) and the true magic we can create from this place. Kathryn is a teacher by training, turned homeschooling mama, lifelong learner, and farmer's wife. She lives a life dreams are made of in British Columbia, Canada.
