Cate and Jenna Phillips join me to share some of their wonderful unschooling stories! With six children, it was inspiring to hear about how their journey has unfolded as they prioritize relationships, follow their passions, and work together to support each other.
Questions for Cate and Jenna
Can you share a bit about you and your family?
How did you discover unschooling and what your move to unschooling look like?
Connecting more deeply with their kids and supporting their interests can feel a bit foreign for parents as they transition to unschooling. It’s a new kind of way to be in relationship with our children! I’d love to hear what your kids are into right now and some of the ways you’re helping them explore.
Can you share some tips on navigating your unschooling days with six children? What does that look like for your family?
What is your favourite thing about the flow of your unschooling days right now?

This episode came perfectly timed as I am about to inseminate with donor sperm and my children are learning and in awe about the miracle of human bodies and life’s energy. My oldest remembers my pregnancy with his sister and he was with me at birth. It is an amazing experience for children. We also change our rhythm naturally with the seasons and focus on relationships and the energy exchange between family members and friends and others who come into our lives. Sometimes people roll their eyes. I am THAT mom to them. ? Since we’re autistic, we also seem a bit weird and off to some anyway, which is fine. we are proudly and gloriously weird. And it feels so good to come across an episode like this when you just feel like shouting YES the entire time. So thank you for this.
I’m so happy this episode resonated with you, Calla!! All the best to you and your family!
