For this week’s episode, we’re sharing the next Foundations episode of the Living Joyfully Podcast with Pam and Anna, People Are Different.

We are back with another episode in our Unschooling Stumbling Blocks series and this time, we’re talking about how it’s not the unschooling!

EU375: Supporting Our Children’s Inner Voices
In this episode, Pam, Anna, and Erika dive into supporting our children’s inner voices. External messages and cultural roles can disconnect us from our internal wisdom and knowing.

Teachers Turned Unschoolers (EU282 Encore)
Let’s dive into a question I get pretty regularly, and that’s whether I have podcast episodes with unschooling parents that used to be teachers.
It’s fun to ponder the why behind the question. Does it seem like a strange leap to make? To me, choosing teaching indicates an interest in children and in learning, so to dive into that even more deeply with their own children through u

Anna, Erika, and I dive into listener questions! We talk about the fears and doubts that come up at the start of the unschooling journey, the idea of wanting to measure success, and what to do when a child is interested in a topic that seems too grown up for them.

Exploring Unschooling Q&A (EU314 Encore)
Anna, Erika, and I dive into listener questions! We explore technology and “screen time,” deschooling, connection, and validation.
And as I mention at the beginning of our conversation, our Q&A conversations aren’t focused on giving anyone the “right” answer. That’s because there isn’t a universal “right” answer for any given situation that will work for everyone. Instead, our foc

EU365: The Independence Agenda
In this episode, Pam, Anna, and Erika dive into a very interesting lens on parenting—the independence agenda.

EU364: Unschooling Stumbling Blocks: Including Kids in Decisions
We are back with another episode in our Unschooling Stumbling Blocks series and we’re talking about including kids in decisions.

What’s so magical about age 18?
Pam, Anna, Erika, and our guest Erin dig into the transition from childhood to adulthood and what it means for our unschooled kids.
