Discover how one family's challenging school experience became a powerful homeschooling journey. What starts as a two-week trial becomes a wake-up call that changes everything. This raw, honest conversation reveals why traditional school wasn't working and how unschooling created the freedom their family desperately needed.

In this episode, we explore:

• The wake-up call that changed everything about their education approach
• Breaking free from "compliance culture" and therapy pressure
• Building community through homeschool co-ops
• France vs. U.S. schooling: eye-opening cultural differences
• What unschooling really looks like in daily practice
• Interest-led learning, morning baskets, and unit studies that work
• Teaching kids how to think, not what to think
• Handling hard days with regulation and nature resets
