Home educating and natural learning has been something that I've been considering as my son approaches school age, and it's also something that I've been apprehensive about exploring...so I decided to learn more about it and was thrilled when parenting coach and mentor Joss Goulden accepted my invitation to be on the podcast! Joss homeschooled her 2 children, aged 19 and 17. She is an Aware Parenting Instructor, and has been supporting families with homeschooling and natural learning for many years.
In this episode, Joss shares her journey with home education, both the joys and the challenges. I not only learned so much by speaking with Joss, but was deeply inspired by our conversation. If you're considering home educating and natural learning, or simply would like to learn more about it, this episode is for you!
Joss Goulden is a parenting coach and mentor supporting families to create more connection, awareness and joy in parenting. She has been practicing Aware Parenting for 17 years.
