Real quick, Reader...Facebook “memories” reminded me TODAY—it’s the 10 year anniversary of my Creating Confidence community! 🎉 Back then, I was told pretty clearly that starting a membership wasn’t a good idea.But I had already seen what wasn’t working. It’s hard to figure this out in comment sections on social media—and not everyone can afford private one-to-one calls when doubts start flooding in. So I built a space where people could actually talk things through—brainstorming and...

We all have stressful seasons, Reader. Holidays. Graduation months. The obvious ones. But unschoolers? We have additional stressful seasons that nobody warns you about. And we're in one right now. Back to school season gets all the attention — but this March and April thing? It's sneaky. And it's bigger than most people realize. Everyone is planning for next year. Curriculum companies are marketing hard. And traditional homeschooling moms have practically been deputized as ambassadors — out...

It tends to stir up those internal critics—and you don’t need that right now. 2) Notice the shift in the season. It’s spring for most of us...
