• Discovered during lockdown that her son thrived without school's constraints, rising from bottom to top of his class
• Changed diet completely, eliminating trigger foods and focusing on gut health with remarkable results in six weeks
• Traveled in a motorhome for three years providing experiential learning rather than traditional education
• Explored natural anxiety management using high-quality cacao as an alternative to medication
• Found that self-directed learning allowed her son to follow his interests while developing necessary skills
• Documented their journey in her book "The Magic of Not Fitting In" available on Amazon and IngramSpark
