Mother Nurture Rituals: practices to inspire life-giving motherhood with Min J Hwang

Unlike previous episodes this season, where our focus has been on the practices and rituals that form an idyllic Home Ed experience for children’, this episode focuses on us: mothers and parents.

How do we nurture ourselves as a life-giving parents throughout our home school journey? This is the critical question that my ever-so poised and very wise friend, Min J Hwang and I unpack in this episode. Min, a Christian Home Ed mum of 4 based in New York, is much respected for her in-depth knowledge of Charlotte Mason's methods, coupled with her passion for helping Home-Ed mums chart their own life-giving, gospel based motherhood journeys.

Drawing from Charlotte Mason’s call for mothers to take time to play, rest and partner with the Holy Spirit in educating their children, Min offers us a beautiful, gospel-anchored, daily rhythm that glistens with balance and peace.

Our conversation covers a wide variety of topics including:

1. Mother Culture vs Mother nurture
2. Parental authority
3. Discipline and accountability
4. The way of the will and habit formation
5. Min’s rituals for nurturing a life-giving Motherhood

Lastly, interwoven throughout this episode is Min’s heartwarming personal story into motherhood, home schooling, mission work and women’s ministry.

Whether you are a Christian or not, a home-edder or not, it’s arguably impossible to listen to this episode without feeling inspired or convicted by this amazing woman’s devotion in her service to mothers, families and women, in general.
