Let’s chat with Readloud Revival Podcast host Sarah Mackenzie…
In this episode, Sarah Mackenzie from Readaloud Revival Podcast and Waxwing Books, children’s book author, and homeschool mom of six, discusses her journey of balancing homeschool, motherhood, and her creative & professional pursuits.
Sarah Mackenzie shares the importance of recognizing personal strengths and moving in a direction that feels most authentic.
When you’re balancing on a bike, it’s not that you balance and you’re there. The actual act of balancing is constantly making shifts. If we’re in balance as mothers, if we’re going to think about the word balance, then we should be thinking of it as the constant adjustments that we have to be making, not as a state of peace or calm.
