Why do so many parents discover that homeschooling or unschooling changes far more than the way their children learn? Why does questioning school often lead to questioning everything else?
Many families begin homeschooling, home education or unschooling because they're looking for a different educational path. But somewhere along the way, the questions get bigger.
Suddenly you're rethinking parenting, relationships, work, health, success, power, limiting beliefs and the stories you've inherited about what life is supposed to look like.
In this episode, we share our own very different entry points into unschooling and deschooling, explore why there isn't one "right" way to begin this journey, and reflect on how learning to trust our children often becomes an invitation to trust ourselves as well.
Whether you're just beginning to question school or you've been home educating or unschooling for years, this conversation is a reminder that growth isn't about reaching a destination. It's about staying curious enough to keep evolving.
