A community of parents on this unschooling journey alongside you—walking through the same season, sharing support, and building confidence together.

I want ALL of that!

Why This? Why Now?

Most unschooling support:
– is hard to find—especially in your local community
– shows up in quick social media glimpses, which can just as easily leave you feeling behind or inadequate
– rarely helps you untangle the deep schoolish thinking you didn’t even realize you were carrying—until you try something different and the lightbulbs go off

This 30-day experience is different.
It’s not a course you'll tap into and then forget about halfway through.
I’ll be there, guiding you every step of the way—real-time support with daily emails, weekly group coaching, and gentle reminders that you’re not doing this alone.

You’ll have a plan you can actually follow, a space to exhale, and a community of unschooling parents walking this road alongside you.

While the rest of the world rushes back to school, we’ll be doing something different—together.

Is This for YOU?

Not sure if this is the right fit?
Take a look—if even one of these resonates, you belong here.

You’re feeling the pressure as everyone around you gears up to go back to school.
You’re getting funny looks (or worse) and more questions than answers.
You're not sure about unschooling — but parts really intrigue you!
Your approach last year didn't go as planned. You need to shift — SOMETHING!
You know school doesn’t work for your family, but the second-guessing won't quit.
You’d like a little hand-holding —preferably from someone who’s actually lived it.
And more than anything, you want to walk into Fall 2025 with confidence!

FAQ

Q: What if I can’t make the live calls?

No problem! All four Monday calls are recorded and sent out within 24 hours, so you can watch whenever it works for you.

Q: Is this just another unschooling course?

Not at all. This is a 30-day guided experience with daily support, weekly live calls, and curated resources—all designed to help you feel less alone and more confident during the high-pressure back-to-school season.

Q: Will I be overwhelmed with too many resources?

Nope! Everything is carefully paced and curated—you’ll only get what supports that week’s theme.

Q: How much time will this take each day?

Just a few minutes! Most daily emails take 5–10 minutes to read, with optional resources if you want to dive deeper. The goal is support, not overwhelm.

Q: What happens after the 30 days are over?

You’ll still have access to the bonus PDFs and any replays. And if you’re not already a member, you’ll have the option to continue inside the Creating Confidence community for ongoing support and resources.

Q: I’m new to unschooling—will this be too advanced for me?

Not at all. This intensive is designed especially for parents who are just starting or still finding their footing. You’ll be surrounded by people in a similar place—and guided by someone who’s been through all of it.

Q: I’m already a member. Do I need to pay for this?

Nope! If you're a current member of the Creating Confidence community, you’re automatically invited to join the Class of 2025 cohort—this intensive is included with your membership.

Q: What kind of tech do I need to participate?

Nothing complicated, I promise!

We’ll use Zoom for the weekly group calls—you’ll just click a link to join, no special account required.

All the daily materials (emails, podcasts, blogposts, videos, and PDF downloads) will be delivered straight to your email inbox. You can read, watch, or listen at your own pace—no apps, logins, or online portals to figure out.

If you can open an email, you’re all set.

Still unsure? That’s okay.

You don’t have to have it all figured out to take the next step.
This Intensive was designed to walk with you through the wobbly parts—not after you’ve mastered them.

If you’re ready for support, structure, and someone to help you shift your thinking during the hardest season to go against the grain—I’ll be there.
