The Greta Eskridge Podcast

We’re living in a time filled with distraction and disconnection from the things that matter most. Things like faith, family, friendship, and childhood innocence feel harder and harder to hold onto. But I believe a joyful, connected life is possible with Jesus’s help because he offers us life to the full! It’s time to open our eyes to the wonder God has put all around us, so join me each week on The Greta Eskridge Podcast as some of my favorite friends and I explore ways to create connection in our families and chase joy through both the peaks and valleys of parenting and life.

    Helping Kids Grow a Bolder Faith with Biographies with Leah Boden

    I’m so glad you’re here for episode 51 with my dear friend, Leah Boden! Leah, who is also known as Modern Miss Mason, is a long time, in real life friend, who lives far from me in England. But we love each other so much we have stayed connected through occasional visits and long talks on Voxer over the miles and years.  In this episode Leah tells us all about a new book series she’s written called Tales of Boldness and Faith. The first two books in the series were just released and we get to hear all about them.  These books are narrative biographies written for the middle grade reader, but they are books that any parent will love reading with their kids, or on their own like me. You’ll love listening to how Leah grew this series from the seed of an idea into fully blossomed books. And you’ll love hearing all the fun tidbits about writing the books, and the fun surprises she has hidden in the books for your kids to discover. They might love listening to this episode too. Above all, these books will inspire your kids to grow a bigger, bolder faith.   Don’t forget to pre-order my book It’s Time to Talk to Your Kids About Porn: a Parent’s Guide to Helping Children and Teens Develop Sexual Integrity.

    Making Family Travel Affordable, the Magic of Misadventure and more! with Christina Franco

    Hi friends! This is episode 50 of the Greta Eskridge Podcast. If you didn’t get to listen to my first interview with Christina, you need to be sure to go back and listen to episode 49. You’ll love getting to know Christina and her story better. In this episode we focused on what Christina’s life looks like now as a homeschool mom who loves to travel and adventure with her family, and how she makes it happen. That is where I think this episode shines! You’ll want to hear what Christina has learned about making family travel doable and affordable as she shares tips with us like: traveling in the off season, and especially midweek, reaching out to hotel and homeowners directly (not through Air B&B!) and exploring your own part of the world with day trips instead of making it an overnight. And if you feel like travel is impossible for you, remember what I shared about travel with my kids when we didn’t have a big, or any, travel budget: I traveled the world by exploring where I lived! You don’t have to go far or go big to make your travel count. There is beauty, adventure and inspiration all around you. There is so much more on this episode: we talked about the magic of misadventure, how it connects us, the time I peed in a trashcan while tent camping in the middle of a lightening storm in Yosemite, apologizing to our kids when we don’t handle misadventure well…..you’re gonna love it! Where to find Christina: Find her on Instagram here Find her media and travel inspo Instagram account here Find her You Tube channel here Find her podcast here Find her Made 2 Homeschool community here Resources mentioned in this episode: Find Air B&B here Find my book on connecting with your kids through adventure right here Find the Made 2 Homeschool digital conference here

    Seeing God’s Hand When Life Takes an Unexpected Turn with Christina Franco

    So this episode starts in what appears to be the new way I begin podcasts now--messing up my guest’s last name. Guys! This is becoming a real problem for me. Insert palm to forehead. But my guest Christina Franco handled it just fine. And you might know Christina Franco better by her Instagram name, Rooted Home Life. Christina is a home schooling mom, a content creator on Instagram and you tube, a lover of travel and adventure.     The conversation we had planned for this episode was going to focus on Christina’s life as those things, but it took a different turn as we talked about her choice to drop out of high school as a teenager, and how she chose a less traditional path for learning. Then we discussed how she became a public high school teacher, went through a divorce, never thought she’d marry again, but did, and then eventually became a home schooler. It was such a good conversation about how life may take some unexpected and even difficult turns, but God’s hand is present the whole time. It was beautiful to hear Christina share her story. I just loved this episode, and I know you will too. Enjoy!    Remember, one of the best ways to show your support for me and this podcast is to leave a review and to share with your friends! I can’t tell you how much both of those things help my podcast and my message get out into the world. Would you consider doing one, or both those things today? Thank you!    Where to find Christina:  Find her on Instagram here  Find her media company on Instagram here  Find her on You Tube here  Find her podcast here  Find her Made 2 Homeschool community here    The Greta Eskridge Podcast is a part of the Christian Parenting Podcast Network.

    Whole Health Living with Elizabeth Parsons

    Today’s guest is my internet friend, Elizabeth Parsons. I found Elizabeth a few years ago when I ordered some of her elderberry syrup kits and over the years, I’ve learned so much from her.  She is a former pediatric RN, a home-schooling mom to 6 and she runs her own holistic living business.  Elizabeth helped me learn to pursue natural healing remedies for my family, starting with her elderberry syrup. Her Instagram page is full of truly helpful tips from what to do when your child has a wart, to how to help your child with an ear infection or a burn and so much more. I have learned so much from her in an area of my life and motherhood where I really wanted to grow.  In this episode Elizabeth and I talk about how she moved from the traditional medical field to a more wholistic, natural led mindset, when there is a place for each. We also talk about her surprise twins born at home, yes really! We cover home schooling, making simple choices to start whole health living and so much more! I loved our conversation, and I know you will too.  Please be sure to follow Elizabeth so you can start learning from her too.    Where to find Elizabeth:  On her website here  On Instagram here    Resources mentioned in this episode:  Find Elisabeth’s elderberry syrup here  See the “Swaps Highlight” in Elizabeth’s Instagram highlights here  Find more information on Bible Study Fellowship here    The Greta Eskridge Podcast is a part of the Christian Parenting Podcast Network.
