Marta Obiols Llistar, a former teacher, explains why she left the traditional classroom to embrace unschooling. Marta shares how John Holt's philosophy reshaped her parenting and life, from rejecting rigid educational systems to trusting her children’s natural ability to learn. We discuss the challenges of unlearning as a teacher, building deep family connections, and thriving outside conventional education.

As an unschooling advocate and author of 18, Marta shares personal stories that amplify the unschooling community. Originally from Catalonia and now based in the US, Marta continues raising awareness about the values of self-directed education. 

This episode is a must-listen for anyone curious about unschooling or alternative education.
