Own Your Learning, Own Your Life with Stephanie Sewell

Stephanie Sewell is an Alternative Education Consultant based in Chelsea, Quebec,

She helps parents, teens, and children to identify and navigate the education path that works best for them – in school, as a homeschooler, or something in between. Her work is heart-based, informed by research, training, and experience.

Stephanie Sewell’s encourages us to own our learning so we can own our lives. She builds supportive, guiding relationships with parents and their children or teens, allowing the family to get back on track.



Stephanie Sewell in a discussion with Homeschool Life Coach, Teresa Wiedrick on Empowering our Teens to own your learning and own your lives.

School is not the only option. The very requirements of the school make it more difficult for the children to exist. The way it’s been done, in many cases, is doing harm.


In this episode, Stephanie Sewell & I discuss:

  • The post-high school mothering phase.
  • How we relate with our kids can enable their agency and independence.
  • How Stephanie moved into alternative education.
  • Why she thinks outside the educational box.
  • Transitioning from the homeschool mom to the next phase of our lives.
  • How we homeschool moms are learning about learning, learning child development, learning to organize, and learning about home education throughout our homeschool lives.
  • What it’s like to homeschool in Quebec.
  • How do we support our adult kids to choose the next steps in their life?
  • How we support our adolescents when they want to attend high school.
  • Our responses to our kids’ discussions on grades and testing.
  • We want to deschool to live our lives on purpose.

Own your learning, own your life…
