    Listen as Renee and Karen talk with guest, homeschool mom Krista Sanders, about her journey to enrich her own intellectual life.

That eventually led her to the CiRCE Apprenticeship and then Belmont Abbey College, where she has recently completed her Master of Arts in Classical and Liberal Education. You may not be at the stage in life where you can enter a formal program, but she will encourage you to enrich your own life with books and reading in community.
