The Unschooling Checklist Challenge

I've created an EASY Checklist to get you started on the right foot.
All the topics you need to become confident competent unschoolers.


Each day for 7 days, I'll send you an email with inspiration, action steps - and even a PDF/worksheet to help move you toward confidence! We'll cover a different topic each day:

  • Getting Legal
  • Finding Unschoolers
  • Tapping into Community
  • Tackling Worries/Concerns
  • Creating a Learning Plan
  • Parenting Shifts
  • Finding Support


Think of me as your Unschooling Personal Trainer as you start this journey!

After a week together, you'll be in great shape!

I'm so excited to do this with you!
