114 | Homeschooling vs Unschooling: My Journey from Hating Homeschool to Raising Wild + Free Kids

from Wellness Farm Chat · host Brooke Perwal

In this episode, I share my real-life homeschooling journey—how I went from hating homeschool as a kid when it felt like a strict school-at-home setup, to now choosing unschooling and a wild + free approach with my own children. We talk about the difference between homeschooling and unschooling, breaking away from traditional education, trusting your kids, and creating a natural learning environment at home.
