Customer Reviews
Uplifting podcast
Not sure why this podcast doesn’t have more 5 star reviews? I have been listening for years (before my kids were school age) and get so much out of each episode. Not just about a form of educating our kids, but so much on our own personal development as parents. It is so nice to have comfort and encouragement when you are walking the road less travelling, and this podcast gives me that and so much more.
Amazing resource!
I’ve been addicted to this podcast for a little while now. My son is only 15 months old but we’ve decided we want to homeschool and I’ve been researching unschooling ever since he was born. I found this podcast and just can’t get enough of the nuggets of wisdom that shine through each episode. It feels like Pam is my unschooling mentor, holding my hand while I explore this whole new world that I never knew existed!
