When weâre triggered by our kids and trying to keep our cool⊠more is going on in our unconscious mind than what we are aware of. When we have the tools to work through whatâs going on under the surface, we can more easily show up as the shame-free parents that we want to be (and wish we had).

âChildren learn best when they like their teacher, and they think their teacher likes themâ. What are you trying to teach your children? Do you know how learning happens? Naturally. It comes naturally, with a few specific ingredients, ones that may not seem so necessary, but truly are.
A Recipe for Learning was first published in the July 2024 monthly bundle of the Wild + Free magazine.
Today youâll hear:
my story of frustration and tantrums (from both me and my young son) when we first started our homeschooling journeyhow unlearning about learning was the path to deeper and more natural learning in our homeschool, for me too. relationships matter most, how learning comes naturally from creating the environment for it to happen the ingredients to a messy and imperfect relationship, but one that is full of joy, confidence, connection and growthResources:

Children should be seen and not heard. Big money makes you evil. Negative emotions should be avoided at all costs. I make others mad, sad or happy with me. I should shove down my ideas and intuition and listen to others that are older, wiser and more experienced than me.
Donât believe these anymore? Yup, me neither. But that doesnât mean that my subconscious isnât bringing these beliefs along and affecting me and my current reality.
In this episode we cover:
what beliefs you may still have, that you donât notice on a conscious levelwhat questions to ask yourself to uncover your deeper beliefs practices to help you move through and shift beliefs how growth is stagnant when we stick with resistance, versus being open (switching from âthis is not showing up for meâ to âhow is this showing up for me?â)Resources:

We donât build muscles, without first breaking them down⊠and the breaking down feels very uncomfortable. This is the same theme for all growth in life, itâs uncomfortable to break down. It doesnât feel good to dig inward and notice where our resistance is, but on the other side of resistance is the most magical growth and life that we could imagine.
In this episode:
growth and resistance, and how they are intrinsically connected (breaking down our muscles) where we are feeling resistance in our life, and whatâs behind it (some of the BEST journal prompts here for your growth). whatâs on the other side of resistance (changing my parenting, changing my business and my life)where is resistance popping up in small ways? And how can I be more radically honest and vulnerable with myself?On being âun-coach-ableâ and sticking in our concrete box of resistance (the no-growth path)Resources:
