Emily Sonsie is an Australian educator and homeschooling advocate. Formerly a primary teacher, who chose to homeschool her children, embracing a lifestyle focused on togetherness, nature, and deep connections. Emily aims to inspire others on their homeschooling journeys, promoting education as a natural part of a meaningful, connected life.

Emily shares her transition from traditional education to a child-led approach for her children, driven by disillusionment with the school system's focus on assessments and opaque report cards. 

She describes the profound shifts in family dynamics and beliefs brought by homeschooling, overcoming initial doubts and criticism. The discussion emphasizes the valuable time spent with her children, the joy of their learning milestones, and the freedom from traditional assessments. 

With this episode, we also celebrate the fact that we now have listeners in over 103 countries. Thank you all for listening
