In episode 29 I talk to Amber and Madeleine, the creators of Barefoot University...a forest school with "barefoot kids and endless possibilities".
They share their journey from idea to implementation along with the learning and pivots they have made along the way.
Amber and Madeleine are enthusiastic, adventurous moms who have a mission to get a Barefoot University program in all 50 states in the U.S., because, according to them, the science is clear....kids need to be barefoot outside. I couldn't agree more!
