Wild Life Unschooling is a 100-episode journey into raising free kids and living a sovereign life. From Madeira to the Canary Islands to the Amazon, I talked with unschoolers, educators, parents, Bitcoiners and free thinkers about self-directed learning, leaving the system, and soul-led education. Some episodes are interviews, some are raw travel diaries, and all of them question what "education" really means.

"But what about socialization?" Every unschooling family hears it. In this chapter I answer it: thirty same-age kids who aren't allowed to talk versus friends from zero to a hundred, how my son makes friends wherever we go, what the research says, and the honest part: finding a good peer group is still the hardest thing.

My outdoor boy discovered gaming when he was nine or ten, and for a while it took over everything: the hikes, the beach, our little adventures. I tried time limits, then no limits at all. In this chapter I share the fights, what he was really learning behind the screen (how games are built, setting up his own servers, English from his gaming friends), and how, in the end, he sold his own computer.

Bonus episode: I'm reading you the first chapter of my book "Of Course I Can Read, I'm Not Stupid: What 100 Podcast Conversations Taught Me About Unschooling."
Before unschooling even had a name in our house, I was the mom with colorful alphabet cards on the living-room wall, an app for every subject, and a one-hour-a-day learning deal my son only did for me. In this chapter I share why I quit teaching on my very first day, how I slowly stopped being his enemy and started being his coach, and the day he picked up one of my old childhood books and read it out loud, fluently. His answer gave this book its title.
