Off-Grid and Unschooling with Lucy AitkenRead
Episode description
In this episode we chat to Off-Grid and Unschooling mama and activist, Lucy AitkenRead. We discuss how unschooling allows you to stand back and watch your child bloom and how unschooling your own children can heal your own school wounds. We also chat to Lucy about how to show up as your authentic self in business and her new book 30 Days of Rewilding.
👉 We talk to Lucy about
- What made her choose to unschool her kids and if there was any defining moment that made the decision for her, or if it was a slow build?
- How choosing alternative lifestyles sometimes feels like we can alienate people when we talk about those choices. We’re actively trying to make sure that we don’t ‘other’ people’s choices making this podcast. We discuss how she incorporates this in her own work.
- Her book ‘30 days to Rewilding’
- How her children have benefited from the ‘rewilding’ lifestyle
