Fare of the Free ChildEp 257: Spirituality and Intuition in This Self-directed LifeThis is the first episode of Season 9 and we’re delighted to dive into the work of shifting our spiritual and intuitive work to include our raising free people practice.

For some of us, the fatigue and frustrations that come with lack of co...2022-11-0933 min

Fare of the Free ChildEp 150: Deschooling Your Life’s PathIn this final episode of the Deschooling Your Leadership Lens Series, our very own co-producer, South African born, self-directed mama, and student of life, Fatima Mookadam, talks about how her family’s decision to slow-travel through several countries with little money and plenty of trust in the process, turned out to be the most life-changing experience she has had so far.

Listen as Fatima shares some beautiful stories fr...2019-12-1924 min
Fare of the Free ChildEp 128: Happy 3rd Anniversary to Fare of the Free Child PodcastOn July 10 of 2016, following the brutal murders of Philando Castile and Alton Sterling, I decided to publish a podcast about the ways that BIPOC families were handling the dichotomous life of constant fear amid a will to thrive, particularly as we endeavor to raise children who embody their liberation.

So many brave, brilliant, and beautiful people have blessed our ears with their experiences, frustrations, wins, anger, and more. We’ve cried, laug...2019-07-1051 min
