The Gift of Margin When Life Feels Like Chaos | Episode 270
Homeschooling and family life can drain the life out of us, and then life feels like chaos. How do we maintain a right attitude and perspective in our families for the long haul? Carol Joy Seid talks with consulting client Mellany Zepelak about how learning to create margin in her life and receive God’s love has transformed her family life. They discuss how adding personal downtime, encouraging a positive home environment, and embracing your identity in Christ can radically improve your family dynamics.
