Having the hard conversations with our daughters who are homeschooled is just as necessary as it is in traditional education settings.  Whether it's social media expectations and "beauty culture" or fitting in versus belonging, our girls need us to help them overcome negative pressures and self-doubt, find their authentic selves, and make lasting friendships!In today's episode, Erin and Amanda speak with Heather Stark, creator of the Grace & Grit educational programs and author of Her Story: A Heartfelt & Hilarious Conversation About Why Beauty Milestones Should Be Options, Not Expectations.  Heather is a former school counselor who founded Grace & Grit as a means to inspire young girls to live their dreams!  She uses the wisdom gained from her own life experiences to help girls find and feel comfortable with their authentic selves through Grace & Grit.The Grace & Grit curriculum is comprised of lessons based on a historic female and the single character trait that helped her achieve great things throughout her life.  All of the lessons, whether in single box or curriculum form, are designed to serve as an activity between a girl and a trusted female adult: sparking discussion on important topics, using a workbook with stories, posing and answering challenge and discussion questions, being inspired by Play-It-Forward cards and enjoying other gifts.Resources & Links:Her Story: A Heartfelt & Hilarious Conversation About Why Beauty Milestones Should Be Options, Not Expectations by Heather StarkGrace & Grit website, www.graceandgritbox.comHeather Stark on FB, @graceandgritboxHeather Stark on IG, @graceandgritbox Be sure to subscribe to GOAT Homeschooling with Erin and Amanda wherever you listen to podcasts, and join us in continuing the conversation on Facebook, Instagram, or via email.Website: www.goathomeschoolingpodcast.comFacebook: @G.O.A.T.HomeschoolingInstagram: @goat_homeschooling_podcastPinterest: @goathomeschoolingpodcastEmail: goathomeschoolingpodcast@gmail.com
