Building community in homeschooling can sometimes be hard.  While larger cities and suburbs might have co-ops and in-person activities where you can meet like-minded homeschoolers, sometimes there just aren't those resources readily available to you, but it is still so important to "find your tribe."In today's episode, Erin speaks with Christina Carpenter of Authentic Joy in the Journey and The Bloom and Blossom conference about community building right where you are.  Sometimes stepping out to find the encouragement you need through coaching, conferences and even online friendships in homeschool social media groups, reaps great reward for the homeschool parent in the trenches.Resources and Links:Find Christina Carpenter onHer website at www.christinacarpenter.orgFacebook at @authenticjoyinthejourney and @bloomandblossomInstagram at @authenticjoyinthejourney and @bloomandblossomconferenceThe next Bloom & Blossom conference will be held in Springfield MO, April 22nd, 2023.
