Description

Are you feeling a little extra weight on your shoulders with this upcoming school year?Whatever schooling looks like for you this year - we hope this episode will uplift you and encourage you in the thick of it. There are so many schooling options out there, and guess what? - There’s no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’.Each decision we make as parents leads to a different path, and there are lessons to be learned in all of it. In this episode, we share about our schooling experiences and how we take our kids’ input into consideration when we are decision-making, navigating relationships with our kids, and following our gut as parents.Ultimately, if we are intentional about how we parent our children, they will be just fine! We have a tendency as parents to overthink things, but the key is to follow our hearts and trust God to sort out the rest. Don’t forget - you are in control. You are the parents, and you have their best interests at heart.  Above it all - your influence & involvement in their life will have more impact on them than anything else.Episode Highlights: Schooling looks different for everyone.Involving our kids in decision-making.Our reason for homeschooling and the benefits we’ve loved.Don’t be afraid to follow your gut.You just have to get in their world.It’s never to late to work on your relationship with your kids.You are in control.Links Mentioned in Episode/Find More on Ryan and Shannon:Follow Shannon on InstagramFollow Ryan on InstagramVisit Shannon’s WebsiteThis show has been produced by Adkins Media Co.

Welcome to Life's a Tripp. We are Shan and Ryan Tripp.We are just a couple of small-town kids who fell quickly in love and couldn’t wait to do this life together! We started having kids, were both working in healthcare and bought our first house right down the road from family… life was great - but something was missing.We were happy and blessed, but we also felt a little stuck. We realized we weren’t moving closer to our dreams for our future and family.So, we sold everything. The house, the cars, the clothes, all the stuff, everything - except for the kids - we kept the kids. As scary as it was to make this big change - we couldn’t stop thinking about it; we knew in our hearts this was what God wanted for our family. We packed our entire life into seven suitcases, grabbed our four small children by the hands, and jumped on a one-way flight to Hawaii. From there, our whole world opened up.We’ve experienced the highs and lows of parenting, marriage, running a business from home, finances, moving across the ocean, making new friends, and maybe doing things a bit differently to ultimately make the very most of our family life - and that’s what we want to share with you.We are so grateful you are here, joining us as we pull back the curtains to have some fun together and chat about what we’ve learned during our unusual journey and what we’re doing each day to make the most of it. It’s true what they say, “Life’s a Tripp,” - but despite the chaos, we want to show you that life can be lived on your terms. This is our story. How will you write yours?
