Jul 06, 2020, 10:00 AM
Greta Eskridge is a homeschooling mom of 4. She loves to fill her family’s days with reading, making art, and being outside as much as possible. Her favorite places to be are on a hiking trail or at the tide pools--preferably with a La Croix or iced coffee in hand. Greta loves laughing, having adventures, and talking about the things that really matter. She and her husband, Aaron, have been married for 22 years and make their home in sunny southern California.
Greta is also an author and speaker. Her first book releases July of 2020 with Thomas Nelson. Greta travels the country speaking and sharing her message of joyful, connected parenting. She’s passionate about equipping parents with tools to protect their kids from the damaging effects of pornography and to help them cultivate a healthy sexual culture in their home. Greta strives to bring a voice of hope, encouragement, and inspiration wherever she goes.
