Unschooling gets talked about like it’s one thing, but in reality, it’s a whole spectrum. In this episode, we’re digging into what unschooling actually looks like across that range, from fully hands-off to intentionally supported, and everything in between. We talk about the balance between freedom and support, why exposure and access matter more than people realize, and how unschooling can be incredibly powerful - especially for neurodivergent kids - when it’s done thoughtfully. This isn’t a “you’re doing it wrong” conversation. It’s a real one. Because the goal isn’t perfection or judgment. It’s understanding what actually helps kids thrive.

As promised in the episode, here’s an excerpt from the book co-written by Meagan and her daughter Astrid. https://bit.ly/UnschoolingExcerpt

We’d love to invite you to join our book club. Reading books among community matters so much. Homeschooling can feel isolating, but processing complex topics alongside like-minded people helps fill your cup, sharpen your thinking, and remind you that you’re not navigating this alone. Our next book club selection is How to Talk So Kids Will Listen and Listen So Kids Will Talk.

We’re playing our own version of the game Bullsh*t, but it is our very own education edition. We’re taking a hard look at the things we’ve all been told about school, learning, and success and asking… are they actually true? From “kids learn best sitting still” to “more hours = more learning” to “college is the only path,” we’re unpacking the assumptions that shape how we think about education and calling out what doesn’t hold up. If you’ve ever found yourself second-guessing your homeschool choices or wondering if you’re doing it “right,” this episode is your reminder that a lot of what we’ve accepted as fact is just… well, bullsh*t!

Chronic illness and homeschooling… can they actually coexist? In this episode, we’re digging into the reality of homeschooling with limited energy, unpredictable health, and a whole lot of societal pressure to “do it all.” We talk about what it really looks like, how to build a sustainable rhythm that works for your family, and why flexibility isn’t just helpful… it’s essential. Whether you’re navigating chronic illness yourself or supporting someone who is, this conversation is about redefining success, letting go of unrealistic expectations, and creating a homeschool life that actually fits your real, messy, human circumstances.
