Daily Unschooling Support: Why a Few Minutes Can Make a Difference

Let’s Try It and See What Works

Back in March, I decided to try something new.

As it turns out, I use unschooling principles in just about everything I do. My approach is usually:

Let’s try it and see what works.

We don’t have to know exactly how something will unfold before we begin. We can start with an idea, pay attention to what happens, and make adjustments along the way.

So that’s what I did.

I created a Daily Unschooling Support app.

The idea was pretty simple. I would choose a theme each month and share a really short voice note—usually only one or two minutes. I would add written posts, affirmations, PDFs, and other resources as they seemed useful.

I priced it at $8.99 because it was an experiment.

I knew what I wanted to try. I just didn’t know what it would become.

Six months later, I can tell you:

It worked. Way better than I expected.

The Experiment Became Something More

Over these six months, the app has become much more than a collection of little voice notes and action steps.

Each month has a real focus.

We’ve looked at connection, communication, timelines, and structure. We’ve talked about individualizing unschooling for our own homes, seeing learning in everyday life, and handling the fears that surface during back-to-school season.

The daily notes build on each other. I’ve added PDFs, reflection questions, practical exercises, videos, and other resources that help parents take the monthly idea further.

Sometimes I’ll see something that fits perfectly with what we’re discussing and add it.

Other times, I’ll realize parents need something practical to help them use the idea at home, so I’ll make it.

That is very much how I’ve always worked inside my private community.

I pay attention to what parents are asking, what seems to be getting in the way, and what might help them see the situation differently.

Somewhere along the way, I realized:

This isn’t really a little $8.99 app anymore. It has become a genuine level of support.

Introducing Creating Confidence — Daily

Beginning in September, I’m adding a monthly group call.

We’ll still spend the month exploring one theme through daily voice notes and resources. But now we’ll also have a place to come together and talk about what that theme is bringing up in your family.

Maybe you understand the idea, but you’re not sure how it applies to your teenager.

Maybe you tried something and it didn’t go the way you expected.

Or perhaps you simply want to hear what other parents are noticing.

That monthly call gives us somewhere to have those conversations.

The Daily Support app will officially become Creating Confidence — Daily.

It will include:

• A focused monthly theme
• Short daily voice notes
• Practical PDFs and exercises
• One group call each month
• Access through the Circle app on your phone or computer

When You Need More Unschooling Support

Creating Confidence — Full Support will continue for parents who want more access and more opportunities to bring in what is actually happening at home.

Full Support includes everything in Daily Support, along with:

• Multiple live coaching calls each week
• Moms’ Clubs
• The full resource library
• The Strewing Calendar
• A private WhatsApp channel
• More opportunities to connect with parents who understand this path

You can join for one month and remain month-to-month.

But there is real value in giving this time to unfold in your home—with support available as new questions surface. Commit to six months of confidence-building support, and keep the $49 monthly value.

Many people join with one particular concern. As they become more comfortable, their questions change. Their children change. They begin noticing things they couldn’t see when they first started.

That doesn’t usually happen in one conversation or even during the first month.

One of the best parts of working with families over time is being able to say:

“I remember how hard that was for you this time last year. Look at the progress you’ve made.”

That is what can happen when you have an ongoing community around you.

Creating Confidence Pricing Changes on Labor Day

The pricing for both levels of Creating Confidence changes on Labor Day.

Until then, you can join at the current price and keep that monthly rate for as long as your membership remains active.

CHOOSE DAILY OR FULL SUPPORT

I wanted to give everyone plenty of notice. But I also wanted you to understand why I’m making this change.

I tried something. I paid attention. I discovered a way of supporting parents that I absolutely love—and that I think can become even more useful.

I’m applying unschooling principles right here in real time with you.

A few minutes every morning can keep you connected to the kind of family life you’re trying to build, so you aren’t waiting for the next crisis to remind you why you chose it.

And now, once a month, we’ll be able to pull up our chairs and talk about it together.

Maybe tomorrow morning, we’ll have our coffee together.
