Today I talk to Esther Bontrager, a mother of five who is passionate about creating a home where there is Space for each family member to be their truest self, and to nurture the creativity in her children and help them grow into their fullest expression of themselves. She is also the host of the Homeschool with Excellence podcast. Esther grew up in a highly volatile and unstable environment, which left her with many wounds to heal, and she has been on a journey to learn how to love herself, and in today's episode we also talk about how finding her best friend in herself, has created more space for her to allow new things and experiences into her life. **Trigger warning** There are brief mentions of physical abuse in this episode so if that is something that may trigger difficult emotions or memories, please tread lightly.
