a conversation about the unique aspects of our childhood

In this episode, we dive into the unconventional childhood my sisters and I shared—one shaped by unschooling, creativity, and an environment where curiosity was trusted more than authority. We talk about learning outside the classroom, building our own interests from the ground up, and growing up in a home that encouraged exploration, independence, and self-direction.We also explore some of the less typical aspects of our upbringing, including a family culture where alcohol wasn't treated as taboo or mysterious. Rather than strict prohibition, openness and conversation shaped our understanding of it from an early age.Looking back as adults, we reflect on what this unconventional childhood gave us, what challenges came with it, and how it continues to influence the way we think, create, and move through the world today. Whether you're curious about alternative education, family culture, or the many ways a childhood can be different from the norm, this conversation offers a candid look at growing up outside the traditional script.#homeschooled #homeschool
