Encouraging Unschooling Kids and Mothers

In this week’s podcast, I’m talking about encouragement. I have two encouragement stories to share with you which I’m hoping you haven’t heard before. But if you are familiar with them, will you think, “Sue is getting repetitive”? Will you consider giving my podcast a negative review? I hope not. Instead, maybe you’ll offer some feedback.

Do you have any ideas for future episodes of this podcast? What would you like to hear about?

Most of my kids are grown up, so often I don’t have any current unschooling news to share with you, (unless, of course, you’re interested in hearing about my unschooling learning). Over the years, I have explored a lot of unschooling topics multiple times, and sometimes it seems like I have said everything possible. Could it be time to pack up my mic? Move on and do something else?

I’d love to hear your thoughts. I know they will be kind and encouraging!

  1. Sue, I really enjoyed hearing your read the stories. I always enjoy reading your stories, but I think I might actually enjoy hearing you read them even more. I love the humorous intonations in the story of you becoming a runner:). Thanks for the smile.

    • Erin,

      I almost didn’t publish this episode because I thought it wasn’t very interesting. Perhaps everyone has already heard my stories. But after reading your comment, I’m feeling happier. I’m so glad I made you smile. Thank you for your encouraging words!
