About Legacy Life Podcast

What legacy do you want to leave for your children? In this podcast I share my journey as I strive to help create a legacy of change, so our children can grow up in a world of possibility, where conscious legacy creation is the norm. Where feminine & masculine qualities are equally valued; and what you look like does not determine your worth. It starts with us, making changes that impact our family. Thinking outside the social norms, embracing respectful parenting approaches; growing soul led businesses that help us live into our wider purpose and impact.

   Anxiety Based School Avoidance with Heidi Steel

   🎙️ Episode: Anxiety-Based School Avoidance, Listening to What Children Are Telling Us In this thoughtful and deeply compassionate episode of Collective Conversations, Sarah is joined by Heidi, former teacher, home educating parent of four, and long-time advocate for child-led learning and emotional wellbeing. Together, they explore anxiety-based school avoidance (often referred to as ABSA), what it really looks like for children and families, and why shifting from a “won’t” lens to a “can’t” lens changes everything. This conversation centres lived experience rather than theory. It speaks honestly about school anxiety, burnout, nervous system overwhelm, and the long, often unseen journey families go on when the education system no longer fits their child. ✨ In this episode, we explore: ✨ What anxiety-based school avoidance actually looks like in real family life ✨ Why “school refusal” language misses the reality of children’s distress ✨ The importance of listening to children’s experiences, not correcting their behaviour ✨ How pressure around attendance can increase anxiety rather than resolve it ✨ Why support adaptations should not be removed just because a child appears to be coping ✨ The emotional cost of pushing children beyond their capacity ✨ When home education or alternative pathways may become a compassionate option ✨ Why healing from school related trauma and burnout can take far longer than expected ✨ The unlearning parents often need to do around education, success, and safety Heidi also shares insights from her own journey as a former teacher and parent whose children have never attended school, offering reassurance that learning can happen in many forms, and that no decision needs to be permanent or all-or-nothing. This episode is especially supportive for parents navigating school anxiety, ABSA, deregistration, alternative education, or for professionals working with children who are struggling within mainstream education settings. 🌿 Continue the Conversation Inside the Parent Support Collective, you’ll find parenting support, wellbeing resources, and conversations for families and practitioners navigating education, neurodivergence, and emotional health with care and clarity. 👉 Join herehttps://www.skool.com/parentsupportcollective/about (https://www.skool.com/parentsupportcollective/about) #CollectiveConversations #AnxietyBasedSchoolAvoidance #EBSA #SchoolAnxiety #ConsciousParenting #GentleParenting #HowToTalkSoKidsWillListen #NeurodivergentChildren #EducationAlternatives #HomeEducationUK #Unschooling #ChildLedLearning #ParentingSupport #MentalHealthInEducation #TraumaInformedParenting #ParentSupportCollective #ListeningToChildren #BeyondSchool

   Beyond the System: Conscious Parenting & Home Ed

   In this episode of Collective Conversations, Sarah is joined by Laura for an honest, grounded conversation about conscious parenting, home education, and choosing learning paths outside the mainstream system. Rather than offering formulas or rigid answers, this episode shares lived experience. The reality of navigating education choices over time, tuning into your child, and letting decisions evolve as children grow & change. Together, we reflect on what it really looks like to step outside the system. The doubts, the unlearning, the freedom, and the deep listening required when you stop outsourcing decisions about your child’s development. ✨ In this conversation, we share: ✨Our personal journeys with conscious parenting and home education ✨Why there is no single “right” way, and why flexibility matters more than certainty ✨How pressure, comparison, and fear can creep in, even when you are an education specialist ✨The importance of noticing what works for this child, in this season ✨Subtle but powerful insights that can radically ease decision-making around alternative learning paths This episode is especially supportive if you’re questioning school, exploring home education or alternative provision, or simply wanting reassurance that you’re allowed to adapt, change your mind, and respond to your child as they are now. There are a few nuggets in this conversation that many parents wish they’d heard earlier. Ones that bring relief, perspective, and a sense of permission when navigating education outside the system. 🌿 Continue the Conversation You can access this episode, along with others in the Collective Conversations series, inside the Parent Support Collective. A space for parents and practitioners exploring conscious parenting, wellbeing, and alternative ways of living & learning. 👉 https://www.skool.com/parentsupportcollective/about A growing, heart-led community where real conversations meet practical support, shared experience, & connection. #BeyondTheSystem #ConsciousParenting #HowToTalkSoKidsWillListen#HomeEducationUK #HomeEdLife #AlternativeEducation#NeurodivergentFamilies #NeuroaffirmingParenting #GentleParenting#ParentSupportCollective #ParentingOutsideTheBox #EducationChoices#ConsciousLiving #ChildLedLearning #RespectfulParenting#FamilyWellbeing #ParentingPodcast #LegacyLifePodcast#CollectiveConversations

   Rich & Rested: Women, Money & Time

   What Women Aren’t Told About Money, Time and Cashflow In this episode of Collective Conversations, I’m joined by Yinka Ewuola, business strategist, cashflow mentor, and founder of Rich & Rested, for a powerful, truth-telling conversation about women, money, time and power. Yinka shares how stepping into her mum’s struggling business while her mum was being treated for breast cancer opened her eyes to what really keeps a business alive: cashflow and why almost nobody in the business space is actually talking about it. We explore: ✨ Why traditional “business support” often fails women ✨ The invisible privilege of the “wife at home” effect ✨ How cashflow acts as a mirror for our beliefs, worthiness and power ✨ The difference between finance (5%) and understanding money (95%) ✨ Why money will never make you “safe” and where safety really comes from ✨ How we treat time like money (and why it should be the other way round) ✨ Practical first steps to get “good at money” not just good at working hard We also dive into the history and conditioning behind women’s relationship with money, why feeling uncomfortable around money is by design, and what it means to choose radical responsibility and freedom in this area  especially as a caring, heart-led parent or practitioner. 🌿 Continue the Conversation inside the Parent Support Collective, you’ll find resources and community support not just for conscious parenting and wellbeing, but also for building sustainable, values-led work and reshaping your relationship with money. 👉 Join us here: https://www.skool.com/parentsupportcollective/about (https://www.skool.com/parentsupportcollective/about) About Yinka EwuolaYinka is a business strategist and cashflow mentor who helps women make, manage and multiply their cashflow so they can be rich and rested – not hustling and exhausted.
