   Reflections on Unschooling Our Neurodivergent Kids

   As we kick off the new school year, I’ve been thinking back on our journey so far with unschooling, aka self-directed education, aka child-led learning. Call it what you want, but at its core, it’s a style that gives kids a lot of say in what they’re learning and how they’re learning it. We’re about three and a half years in now, and in this episode, I reflect on what this path has looked like for our family — from when we first began, when my son was sick and then newly diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes, through seasons of PDA autistic burnout, and to now, where my kids are slowly moving out of burnout and beginning to engage more with the world again. It hasn’t been all smooth sailing (at all!) There have been plenty of messy, hard moments. AND I’m deeply grateful for the many different education options out there that have helped my kids learn in ways that work for them. In this episode, I share: What unschooling has looked like for us after 3+ years How my kids have learned through deep interests like Minecraft and LEGO Exploring academic subjects in an unschool-y way (on their timeline, at their pace) What it’s been like to try in-person schooling again with lots of accommodations If you’re curious about unschooling, exploring alternative schooling options for your neurodivergent kiddo, or if you’re like I was a few years ago — trying to help a child who struggled in both public school and traditional homeschooling — this one’s for you. xx, Megan RESOURCES: Full show notes: maybethiswillbethecure.com/blog/unschooling-reflections (https://maybethiswillbethecure.com/blog/unschooling-reflections) CONNECT I’d love to hear from you: Spotify - Leave a comment Instagram - DM or comment @maybethiswillbethecure (https://www.instagram.com/maybethiswillbethecure/) Email - megan@maybethiswillbethecure.com (mailto:megan@maybethiswillbethecure.com) If this podcast was helpful to you, please consider sharing it with a friend, or leaving a rating or review on Apple Podcasts.

   Taking Care of My Mind With Therapy and Coaching

   I was talking with someone the other day and realized—not everyone sees therapy, coaching, and “brain work” the way I do. For me, it’s like brushing my teeth or moving my body. We all know working out is good for our bodies, and I think of coaching, therapy, and other mind tools as ways to work out my mind. Over the past few years, I’ve been taking care of my brain with regular therapy, coaching, and tools like meditation. These practices have helped me reframe anxious thoughts, regulate my emotions as a parent, and navigate chronic pain. In this episode, I share my experiences with therapy and coaching, including: The difference between therapy and coaching (and why I use both) My first experience with EMDR for chronic pain How “working out my mind” has shifted parenting and daily life Why emotional regulation sets the tone for my whole household How I’ve found therapists and coaches that are the right fit If you’ve been curious about therapy, coaching, EMDR, or meditation—and want the inside scoop from someone who’s tried a lot of it 😉—this one’s for you. xx, Megan RESOURCES: Full show notes: maybethiswillbethecure.com/blog/therapy-and-coaching (https://maybethiswillbethecure.com/blog/therapy-and-coaching) Other links referenced in the episode.

   Living with Chronic Pain After a Life-Changing Accident with Tony Verhagen

   As a young man, today’s guest, Tony Verhagen, was hit by a drunk driver in a devastating car accident and determined to be dead at the scene. He was later revived but suffered multiple life-altering injuries. Doctors told him he would never walk again. Against the odds—and after months of physical therapy—he learned to walk again. Yet the accident left him with chronic pain that he’s lived with ever since. Tony's story is one of resilience. In this episode, we talk about that fateful day, the long road of recovery, the challenges of living with chronic pain, and the choice to live a beautiful, full life through it all.
