This week marks the five year anniversary of the Exploring Unschooling podcast!

To celebrate, I decided to dig into the podcast’s rich treasure trove of unschooling stories and highlight a handful of the many beautiful nuggets of wisdom that guests have shared over these five years.

It’s been such a treat to revisit episodes as I gathered and organized this lovely collection, and I ended up with four distinct sections:

  1. Parenting
  2. Seeing Learning in Action
  3. Making Our World Bigger, and
  4. The Question of College

I imagine it surprises no one at this point that the flow of these sections aligns pretty closely with our unschooling journey. Because that’s my jam.

I’ve really enjoyed spending these five years engaging in conversations with so many wonderful unschooling parents and grown unschoolers. I’m so grateful to them for sharing their stories, their experiences, and their sparkling nuggets of wisdom about unschooling!
