🗓️ Recorded September 4st, 2023. 📍Blaye, France

We've all been there: doubting our intelligence and our worth, feeling inadequate due to someone else's labels. Our guest, Nicole Kenyon, knows this feeling all too well. She was labeled as "stupid-ish" at a young age, but that certainly didn't define her. From her journey of breaking free from this label and finding her passion for animal therapy to earning an international scholarship for her Ph.D., Nicole defies expectations and exemplifies resilience. 

Raising children is no easy task, and deciding how best to educate them is even more so. Nicole's choice to unschool her son, Kai, sparks curiosity and intrigue as we delve into this unconventional approach. By fostering a positive environment and allowing Kai to learn in his own way, Nicole challenges traditional educational norms. The story of how Kai learned to read at eight and their unique Easter treasure hunts will make you rethink education. 

Bringing us to the heart of the matter, Nicole opens up about the challenges she faced in choosing to unschool her son. Walking upstream, weathering criticism, and engaging in difficult conversations, Nicole's journey is anything but smooth sailing. Yet, she remains steadfast, trusting her instincts and embodying the courage to challenge societal norms. Nicole's experiences offer valuable insights on unschooling, trusting your instincts, and the importance of creating a positive learning environment for your child.
