Why Deschooling? To Feel Confident, Certain & Good Enough

Deschooling is a highly effective tool that helps us release doubt, uncertainty, and that not-good-enough feeling.

Deschooling helps us (& our kids) to zero in on the most important elements of learning & education for our kids AND to live our lives on purpose.

I’ve been learning about learning, learning about living with my kids, and learning about what an education is anyway.

And it isn’t what I thought it was. (You too?)



Learn the 5 Common Mistakes Homeschool Moms Make…

Turns out, I didn’t need to have a teaching degree, I didn’t need to lesson plan every homeschool day, and I didn’t ever need a report card (well, one year I did, because the kids asked me for one!)

Let me share what I’ve learned so you can be at ease in your homeschool with confidence and clarity too.

I want you to discover deschooling & how you can have more freedom, purpose & individualization in your homeschool.

Cause that is exactly what it has done for me.

Of course, I didn’t have a word for that process when I was doing it (deschooling is a fairly new, and hip, word: does anyone use the word “hip” anymore?)

I share the basic introduction to deschooling in this IG video.

If you want to deschool your homeschool, join me for the Intensive:

When you join the Deschooling your Homeschool Intensive, we’ll do this…

  • an assessment of your present homeschool
  • an assessment of your children
  • an assessment of your belief on education
  • exploratory questions & discussions to shift your perspective
  • a plan to practically shift your homeschool toward your real children & your perspective on an education
How we’ll do it:
  • We’ll be digging deep into our thoughts & emotions about an education.
  • Uncovering practical tools to deschool ourselves & our children.
  • Enable accountability to practice these plans.
  • We’ll allow a 1 1/2 hour group intensive time.
  • You’ll receive personal feedback and journal questions for you to continue the work afterward.
