It is no secret that I am an introvert and introverts have a special place in my heart. There is nothing wrong with extroverts, but getting the world to understand the need for a little quiet and time alone and not take it personally is hard.

It doesn\\u2019t mean one is shy (I\\u2019m totally not.) or awkward (debatable). But it does fly in the face of our very social world at times \\u2014 especially when you are a mother and even more so when you are a homeschooling mother. We have chosen to be with our kids all day because we thing that is what is best for them, but we do that knowing the toll it will take on us and knowing we will need to compensate for all that together time. It can totally lead to guilt.

That is why I was so excited when I found out about Jamie Martin\\u2019s new book\\xa0The Introverted Mom. Now there is someone who understands and can offer help. And on today\\u2019s podcast, Jamie does just that.

There is something for every mom on this show \\u2014 introverts and extroverts both. I hope you enjoy.
