Hosted by Herb and Kristina Heagh-Avritt of Vibrant Family Education, each episode dives deep into the heart of family life and learning, offering real talk, real tools, and real connection.

Whether you’re overwhelmed by traditional schooling, exploring homeschooling, or simply craving a better rhythm for your family, we bring you grounded insight and fresh perspectives from experts who serve families holistically. With our "inside and outside the box" approach, we explore what it truly takes to raise healthy, happy, and empowered kids — while staying connected as a family.
