Unschooling doubts and fears

I made something for you, [FIRST NAME GOES HERE]!

Hi Reader, I’ve been thinking about you lately. Not the big group of “you all,” but you, Reader — the parent who’s trying to make unschooling work in real life, with real kids, real doubts, and real fears that don’t always get said out loud. Maybe it’s the time of year.Maybe it’s the conversations I’ve been having.But I keep picturing the two of us sitting at my kitchen table with something warm to drink, just talking through the thing that’s been making your shoulders tense up. Because so...

Final Hours, [FIRST NAME GOES HERE]!

Just a quick reminder as Black Friday wraps up tonight, Reader... If you’ve been needing things to feel easier…Needing someone to talk to who gets it…Needing support that doesn’t make you feel judged… This is your window.

Your Saturday Confidence Check-In, [FIRST NAME GOES HERE] 💛

Hi Reader, A lot of unschooling parents think: “I chose this path. I should know how to do this by now.” But here’s the thing — most of us grew up in school. We were trained to follow someone else’s plan. That shows up in how we parent, even when we want to unschool. 💛 This week’s encouragement:You don’t have to deprogram all of that alone.You deserve someone walking with you — helping you see what’s working, and solve what’s not. That’s what we do in my membership group. No judgment. Just...
