Missy Willis | From Unschooling To Exams


Listen Later

What happens when unschooled teens meet college systems, exams, and external expectations? Jesper and Cecilie Conrad speak with Missy Willis about how adolescents raised with freedom step into formal learning without losing curiosity or confidence. The conversation follows family transitions, changing homes, and the moment when rigor and motivation finally align.

🗓️ Recorded November 4, 2025. 📍 Tarragona, Spain
