In this introductory episode, I share my vision for the podcast, an overview of my unschooling journey, and my evolving definition of unschooling.

Episode Highlights
- The Exploring Unschooling podcast will have new episodes weekly, and my goal is for us to explore unschooling together, through in-depth interviews with veteran unschooling parents, conversations that dig into a wide range of unschooling topics with experienced guests, and monthly Q&A episodes to answer your questions.
- My school background and finding unschooling almost 14 years ago.
- What my children are up to now.
- How my definition of unschooling has changed over the years.
- How unschooling doesn’t look like school at all.

Beautiful. Amazing. Thank you!

Thanks so much! Really enjoying your podcasts!!
Glad you’re enjoying them, Renee! 🙂
I loved the podcast! It was insightful and inspiring. I look forward to more!
Thanks, Carina! 🙂
Pam, you have the sweetest, most soothing voice!
I love one comment you made in this podcast, in which you said, “Not following a curriculum does not mean that unschooling parents are doing nothing. Instead, you’ll be replacing it with a supportive learning environment — one based not on an outline, but on your child’s interests.”
That really struck something with me — my “job” as the parent isn’t to create a curriculum — it’s to create a supportive and enriching environment from which my children can learn what they need to learn. I really like that idea — being the base upon which my children can learn more. Excellent idea — gotta write that down! 😀
Thank you, Nada! I love that it struck a chord with you—that’s a very cool realization. 🙂
Have fun!
