Jae Williams is a former teacher and new unschooling dad of two young children. I first spoke to Jae when he was about two months into his unschooling journey, in episode 290.
It’s been a year now and we had so much to catch up on! Jae and I talked about the inner work of deschooling, the joy of an unschooling, routines versus structure, and the way unschooling expands into all areas of life.
Our conversation was so rich that we ended up talking for almost two hours! And so as not to overwhelm you, I’ve broken up our discussion into two episodes, with the second half coming out next week.
I hope you enjoy learning more about Jae’s journey!
