NEXT STEPS:

Unschooling With Support

Coaching, Community, and Steady Guidance


Support to help you find what works best for YOUR family

— without doing it alone.

You do have some decisions to make — about school, learning, routines, and what comes next.

The difference here is that you don’t have to make them in isolation or while second-guessing everything you read online.

This support gives you a place to ask real questions, get grounded answers, and build confidence in the choices that fit your kids and your life.

Sometimes the hardest part is knowing where to begin.

Maybe last semester didn’t go well.
Maybe you’re questioning school, homeschooling, or what comes next.
Maybe you’ve been circling unschooling for a while — reading, listening, watching — but still feel unsure.

And right now, the last thing you need is more pressure.

You don’t need to master unschooling.
You don’t need a perfect plan.
You don’t need to commit to a year of anything before you feel ready.

You just need support while you sort things out.


What this is

Next Steps: Unschooling With Support is a guided support option for parents who want:

  • help thinking clearly again
  • reassurance without being pushed
  • space to explore unschooling at a human pace
  • support that lasts long enough to actually make a difference

This isn’t about rushing into decisions.
It’s about having coaching, community, and steady guidance while you find your footing.


Why this isn’t just one month

Trying to absorb all the unschooling information, confidence, and clarity in a single month is just another kind of pressure - you don't need that!


Instead, this option is designed to support you through the rest of the semester — long enough for things to settle, questions to surface naturally, and confidence to grow.

You’ll have time to:

  • move through deschooling waves
  • notice what’s actually working
  • ask questions as they arise
  • build trust in yourself and your kids

This support container is six months, beginning when you join.
There’s no obligation to continue afterward.



What this is not

  • Not a crash course
  • Not a curriculum
  • Not a “do it this way” program
  • Not pressure to perform or prove anything

This is about orientation, not optimization.
It's about individualization, not trading one dogma for another.


What’s included

Support inside the Creating Confidence Membership
You’ll have access to the community, group coaching, and all the resources designed to help you build confidence and perspective — not overwhelm.

One private 30-minute clarity call with Sue
A focused one-on-one conversation during your first week or so, to talk through your situation, your concerns, and what makes sense for your family right now.

Ongoing guidance as real life unfolds
Questions don’t arrive all at once. Doubts resurface. Situations change. This support stays with you long enough for those moments to be met with steadiness instead of panic.

Who this is for

This is a good fit if you:

  • are seriously considering unschooling but don’t want to rush
  • feel overwhelmed by conflicting advice
  • want reassurance without being talked into anything
  • value thoughtful, experience-based guidance
  • don’t want to do this alone


If you’re looking for quick fixes or rigid answers, this won’t be a fit.
If you’re looking for steady support while you figure things out, you’re welcome here.

From Sue

I’ve been doing this work for nearly 30 years, and I know how heavy this stage can feel.

You don’t need to rush.
You don’t need to have it all figured out.
And you don’t need to do this alone.

If you want support while you take your next steps — I’m here.


Frequently Asked Questions

  • How long does this support last?

    This is six-months of support, starting when you join. It’s designed to carry you beyond the initial transition and through the rest of the semester, when questions tend to surface and confidence actually has time to grow. There’s no obligation to continue afterward.

  • Is this a full unschooling course

    No. This isn’t a step-by-step program or a crash course in unschooling.

     It’s support — coaching, community, and steady guidance — while you figure out what makes sense for your family.

  • Do I Need to be fully commited to unschooling?

    Not at all. Many parents join while they’re still questioning, exploring, or untangling old school conditioning. You don’t need certainty — just a desire for support while you think things through.


  • What happens during our private clarity call

    The 30-minute call is a chance to talk through your situation — what’s working, what’s not, and what you’re feeling unsure about. There’s no agenda and no pressure. My role is to help you see things more clearly, not to push you toward a specific outcome. (and tap into all the resources I have waiting for you!)

  • What if I don't have much time to participate?

    This is not a high-demand membership. You can engage as much or as little as you need. Many parents listen, read, or ask questions quietly — and that’s completely fine. Support doesn’t require constant participation. 


    We have opportunities to connect on a variety of platforms (Circle, WhatsApp, Facebook) so you can connect with the community whenever works best for you. 


    All coaching calls are recorded and members can submit questions in advance, in case they can't be there live.

  • Is this the same as the regular membership

     This option includes 6-month access to all the benefits of the Creating Confidence Membership, plus a private clarity call with Sue. This is designed specifically to support parents through this second half of the school year, without asking for a long-term commitment up front.

  • What if I decide this isn't a fit for me?

    That’s okay. Some families use this time to get grounded and then move on feeling steadier and more confident. Others choose to stay. There’s no pressure either way. You'll still have access for the full 6-months to help you with whatever bumps you face!

  • Why Not Join for Just One Month?

    Trying to figure everything out in one month often creates more pressure - you don't need that! 

    Six months gives you time for real questions to emerge, for deschooling to settle, and for confidence to build naturally — without rushing yourself or your kids.

  • Who is this not a good fit for?

    This likely isn’t the right option if you’re looking for:


    - quick fixes

    - rigid instructions

    - someone to tell you exactly what to do

    - a curriculum or academic plan


    This is for parents who value thoughtful guidance and steady support.
