Join us on Patreon to unlock a NEW episode every week for just $5/month!   #16: Where We Let Go of Perfectionism This episode originally aired on Sep 11, 2017. In this episode we talk all about the ways we can get perfectionistic in homeschooling and parenting. Striving for excellence is one thing but that can easily slide into perfectionism.  We talk about our own perfectionistic tendencies and their consequences.  We also talk about why it's actually a good thing to not complete the curriculum or have a messy house, for example.   Warning: this episode has some serious borderline obnoxious laughter at the beginning when Maren and Angela reminisce about their first experience with yoga class.  If you aren't into this, you may want to skip ahead a few minutes.     It's all happening on Patreon!
