Coffee With Carrie: Homeschool Podcast

Today, did you exercise?  Did you explore nature?  If you are adventure schooling, you've done both and so much more!  What is "adventure schooling?"  In this week's episode, Carrie is talking with Nichole Holze, aka Lucky Wander and Coleyraeh. Nichole breaks down exactly what adventure schooling means and how to adventure responsibly.  She also shares practical insights on scouting out the perfect adventure destinations tailored to your family's current life stage—whether your kids are toddlers, school-aged, teens, or anywhere in between. This week's conversation will help you learn right alongside your kids as you build your adventure muscles and learn to see the wonder wherever you wander!  Get your hiking shoes on, fill up your travel mug, and join Carrie and Nichole for a little coffee and conversation about adventure schooling.

Yes, Physical Education (PE) is truly essential!  Movement and exercise play a key role in your child's overall learning and academic success. Free time is foundational for your teen's mental, emotional, and physical well-being. Everything is interconnected, and it all matters. In this week's episode, Carrie discusses why you shouldn't save physical activity for "after you finish your schoolwork." She explains how exercise supports better learning, improves retention, and helps break through academic challenges. If you've ever felt guilty about letting your kids spend more time playing outside, moving while doing schoolwork, or participating in sports instead of spending more time working on sit down, formal academic lessons, then this episode is a must-listen.
Pour yourself a cup of coffee, put your feet up, and join Carrie for a relaxed conversation about incorporating more PE into your home education.  Be sure to tune in to next week's episode on Adventure Schooling!
