The Wild and Curious Podcast

In this episode of The Wild & Curious , we’re slowing down to talk about one of the most important parts of learning and living together at home: connection . When your child feels close to you, when they feel seen, heard, and safe, everything else unfolds more naturally. Curiosity blossoms. Trust deepens. Conversations open up. Join me as I share nine gentle, practical ways to strengthen your...

In this episode, I share what homeschooling looks like for us — not as “school at home,” but as a natural, interest-led way of learning through everyday life. I talk about the balance between structure and flow, and how I plan gentle activities that inspire my kids while still leaving plenty of room for curiosity, connection, and spontaneity. I share a peek into our week — a day at the park with f...

In this episode of The Wild & Curious, I’m sharing an old recording I made about three years ago, where I read a blog post called Between Unschooling and Charlotte Mason. It was a snapshot of our homeschooling life at the time, how we were blending the flow of unschooling with the structure and inspiration of Charlotte Mason’s philosophy. After the recording, I’ll reflect on where we are today...

What if learning wasn’t something that only happened at a desk, with a textbook, or during “school hours”? In this episode, I explore the idea that learning is all around us — in nature, in play, in daily life, and in the questions that spark curiosity. When we begin to notice it, we can see that every moment has the potential to become part of our child’s education (and ours too). If you’d like m...

What really supports children in learning naturally? In this episode, I’ll share the three pillars that have guided our family’s unschooling journey: creating a nurturing nest (your home atmosphere, environment, and tools), building connection (to yourself and your children), and inviting inspiration (bringing in fresh ideas and experiences). These three areas work together to create a rich, joyfu...
