Wild Life Unschooling

Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note.

So, welcome to my first solo episode, it only took me 1 year to get to that point to speak to you just you and me ;)

Anyway, I'll try to drop these short solo episodes from time to time with unschooling and deschooling insights from our life - let me know if that is something you want to hear about more often!

And please, give me feedback, let me know if you want to join me on an episode, and tell me what specific topics I should cover <3

Lots of love,

Alex

In this episode, I'm speaking to Peggy Webb, Founder and Director of West River Academy.

West River Academy, founded in 1993, offers families worldwide the freedom to make their own educational decisions, allowing children to explore their innate life purposes and passions. The school converts natural learning experiences into academic credit, providing annual enrollment, official transcripts, and high school graduation, creating a supportive environment for students to thrive outside traditional educational constraints.

Peggy is mum (and grandma!) of 3 unschooled kids and shares a lot of insights about her unschooling and deschooling journey - enjoy <3

If you're into unschooling, sooner or later you'll stumble upon Pat Farenga. In case you haven't - Pat is an American writer and educational activist, you should check out his talk "Why forced education kills learning".

Pat leads us through the wonderful world of unschooling, shares a lot of stories about his friend and unschooling advocate John Holt - and introduces me to the "open-door-policy". Hope you enjoy this episode as I enjoyed the conversation with Pat!

And, by the way, this is my 30th episode, thank you so much for being part of this :)

In this episode, I'm talking to Summer Jean! She was unschooled and is sharing her perspective on unschooling with us.

What's really interesting—and this is also my conclusion from the last ten years—is that unschooling is not something you simply do or don't do in terms of education. It's more about the way you see life.

For everyone listening, reach out to me! Tell me if you'd like to be on the show or if you have a specific guest or topic in mind. Share it with me! 😉

Really interesting is - and this is also my conclusion of the last 10 years - unschooling is not something you do or don't do in terms of education, it is more about the way you see life.

I hope you like this episode, there will be two more episodes with Summer soon - so stay tuned!

You probably noticed, that I didn't launch any new episode last week (Shame on me! The plan was to publish weekly!) - and that's because I'm working quite hard on the next level of this podcast. So stay tuned, I'll make some changes to this little pod ;)

But for now, enjoy this episode with this ABSOLUTELY stunning, beautiful couple, Joy and Mayur Sontakke from Vietnam/India. They're all about building communities, co-living, co-working, homeschooling/unschooling, and I somehow fell in love with them. After this episode, you'll be in love, too.

This time it's all about men and boys - because we need strong men! And through unschooling we can change the narrative, support our little boys to grow into strong, healthy men.

With me is Chris Hargreaves, a wonderful soul that dedicated his time to heal others, especially men. We have a deep talk about what problems of indoctrination and propaganda boys and men face in school and society, and how we can get back to an holistic approach of masculinity! Enjoy!

Manisha Snoyer is hosting her own educational podcast, "Teach your Kids" - and this episode is all about "unschooling podcast host to unschooling podcast host".

Of course we deep dive a bit into the whys, hows and whats, but what I really want to highlight is, how aligned Manisha is with what she does - and it shows! She is an awesome educator, she is helping so many families switching to the unschooling lifestyle and is creating wonderful safe places for the wild kids out there.

Initially, I started this podcast to take a closer look at the connection between decentralized education and decentralized finance - unschooling and Bitcoin. The last few episodes, Bitcoin wasn't even mentioned once. And this is why this episode, is all about sound money, the beauty of decentralization, and what this has to do with escaping forced education.

Join "V" from The Bitcoin Way and me, to fall a little bit deeper into the decentralization rabbit hole.

Thanks for listening ❤️

In this episode, Amrit lets us fall into a very spiritual rabbit hole - we talk about soul-sucking jobs, and the beautiful alternative: listen to your calling. As Amrit puts it: Following your calling is never easy, because it's never about "opening a can"!

How can we support our kids in following their soul-path, how can we conquer our fears, and why our biggest challenges are almost always our biggest gifts?!
