Send us a textOutschool founder Amir Nathoo explains why education built on passion—not curriculum—may be the only way to truly prepare kids for a rapidly changing world. We talk about his shift from traditional schooling in the UK to building Outschool, how becoming a parent deepened his beliefs, and why interest-led learning offers more than just flexibility—it offers resilience.Amir shares the emotional challenge of stepping away from conventional paths, how Outschool helps parents manage fears without compromising child-led learning, and why AI is forcing us to rethink what human intelligence really is. We also get into the science of farts, cat anatomy, and mock stock trading—and why those classes matter more than you think.
Send us a textEver wondered what life could look like if you broke free from the conventional 9-5?David Cole and his family sold their home in Chicago in 2019 and haven't stopped moving since. Cecilie and Jesper talk with him about how they made the shift from occasional travellers to full-time nomads."I think what stopped us the most was mindset," David reveals, reflecting on their journey from dreaming to doing. After years of passionate but occasional travel, they finally made the leap—starting with house-sitting across the US before boarding a 22-day cruise to Singapore and continuing through Southeast Asia. What began as a shared love for exploration evolved into a complete lifestyle redesign that prioritizes presence, connection, and curiosity. This isn't about escaping; it's about deciding how to live and taking the next step—even if it's not perfect.
Send us a textDr. Cam joins us to discuss parenting teenagers and why efforts to control them often create more distance. She explains how control can undermine trust and why focusing on connection leads to better results.We discuss the difference between respect and obedience, and how letting teens say “no” builds confidence and self-trust. Jesper shares his shift from being a “parenting by volume” dad to being more present and connected, and how time made the biggest difference.Dr. Cam describes how many dads step back from parenting teens because they feel disconnected or uncertain about how to relate. She talks about why focusing on influence, not authority, helps parents stay close to their teens even in moments of conflict.We also talk about how small moments—like asking about your teen's interests instead of their grades—can rebuild connection when time is limited.
Send us a textIn this conversation with author and speaker Jacob Nordby, we explore the paradox of freedom in modern life. Is it simply doing whatever we want—or does real freedom require something deeper?While many consider freedom to be about doing whatever they want without constraints, Jacob challenges this perception. "A lot of people assume that freedom means the ability to do whatever they want," he reflects, "but we're learning that most of what we think and believe happens pretty unconsciously." True freedom, it seems, requires the difficult work of self-awareness and introspection.Jacob challenges common ideas about success, self-determination, and meaning. Together, we dive into how societal norms shape our values, why unpaid or “unproductive” work (like parenting or crafting) is deeply meaningful, and how rituals in everyday life can reconnect us to purpose. Jacob shares tools for navigating difficult times and reclaiming inner freedom.“The great victory isn't avoiding difficulty—it's knowing we can respond with resilience.”
Send us a textYasmin and Andy left a comfortable life in the UK to join a small off-grid community in the jungles of Belize.Fifteen years after cycling through Central America, Yasmin and Andy returned—this time with three kids and a desire for a different kind of life. What began as a plan to visit intentional communities in Europe shifted during the pandemic, eventually landing them in a small permaculture community in Belize.They describe the emotional and practical steps behind leaving the UK, the grief of letting go, and the clarity that comes from recognizing how little time we have. Loneliness in early parenthood, especially within the isolation of the nuclear family, sparked a deeper search for connection. Now, they live alongside five other families where support is built into everyday life.This isn't a story about escaping—it's about building. From self-directed education to shared celebrations and infrastructure, Yasmin and Andy reflect on what it takes to live more freely and cooperatively.To learn more about Yasmin, Andy, and Sattvā Land or plan a visit, check the links below.
Send us a textIn this episode, we speak with Amanda Diekman about how her parenting changed when her six-year-old son went into autistic burnout. He lost verbal communication, stopped eating most foods, and couldn't follow basic routines. Faced with a crisis, Amanda chose to stop trying to fix him and instead removed demands to create safety.She explains how this shift became the foundation of low-demand parenting—an approach that prioritizes accommodation, reduces expectations, and gives children more agency. We discuss the fear many parents feel when stepping outside conventional norms, how control-based parenting damages relationships, and why even “high-functioning” children may be silently struggling.Amanda also shares how living in a community centered around disability shifted her perspective on independence and success. We cover specific strategies, including how her family uses language like “you're forcing me” to signal power imbalances, and how she reframed daily routines to support healing.Low-demand parenting isn't just for neurodivergent children—it challenges the broader parenting culture and offers a different way to relate to our kids.

Send us a textLuz and David from Evolving Education left careers in biotechnology to explore and document alternative education models worldwide. Frustrated by rigid schooling systems, they traveled to over 170 learning centers to understand how children learn best outside the traditional classroom.In this episode, we talk about how compulsory schooling originated in 19th-century Prussia as a system designed to produce obedient soldiers and workers, a model later exported worldwide as a tool for colonization and cultural suppression. We discuss how education has been shaped by these historical forces and why so many modern schools still emphasize conformity over curiosity. Luz and David explain the “Expedition Methodology” they developed, which focuses on exploration, experimentation, and community as key components of meaningful learning. Rather than pushing a single solution, they emphasize the importance of cross-pollination between different educational approaches and the need for families, teachers, and learning communities to collaborate in rethinking how children grow and learn.Instead of waiting for top-down reforms, they work directly with those already creating change—educators, parents, and pioneers looking for alternatives. Their mission is to make these models more accessible, providing tools and resources to help others implement child-led, passion-driven learning environments.Visit evolvingeducation.org to access their free ebook, watch their documentary films, and join their community. They also host monthly “Voices of Change” webinars featuring educators working at the forefront of alternative learning.
Send us a textIris Chen, author of Untigering: Peaceful Parenting for the Deconstructing Tiger Parent, shares how she shifted from a strict, high-expectation parenting style to a trust-based approach.Raised in a Chinese-American household, Iris grew up with academic pressure and obedience as the norm. She carried those expectations into her own parenting—until she saw how control and punishment were harming her relationship with her children. A parenting workshop on neuroscience led her to rethink discipline, ultimately guiding her toward unschooling.This conversation looks at how tiger parenting is often rooted in intergenerational trauma, especially in immigrant communities where educational success is tied to security and acceptance. Instead of accepting these methods as “cultural,” Iris encourages parents to examine their origins and whether they truly serve their children today.

Gila Melamed is my first real follow-up conversation. We chatted last Summer about a road trip she was taking in a camperized car – her carpartment – and I knew at that time she was returning home to “up-size” – to a mini van. Now, many months into Phase 2, Gila tells us about: her journey of self-discovery and healing. (Gila's explanation makes so much sense and is, perhaps, food for thought for many of us.) as with other nomads, there were clues from childhood that this lifestyle would be what fed her soul the process of converting a mini-van to permanent accommodation tips about listening to your gut, with a discussion about fear learning from other like-minded, more experienced women her growth in so many facets of her life Gila is so candid about every facet of her journey, both physical and spiritual… and how that journey helps her to be the person she wants to be and raises her up to be the person she is.

Christine Reed's journey into the outdoors began in her 20s, sparked by a fascination with the Appalachian Trail. Despite a non-outdoorsy upbringing, she found purpose and inspiration through reading about the AT, leading her to plan and hike sections of the trail. Her path eventually led her to Yosemite, where she discovered rock climbing, although it wasn't until her move to Denver that she fully embraced the sport. Feeling disconnected from conventional day-to-day life, Christine bought a van and embarked on a nomadic journey without a clear plan. As she navigated the road, she sought independence and faced questions about her motivations. Initially struggling to find community and purpose, she hiked the Wonderland Trail, which prompted her to reflect on solitude and independence. This introspection led her to write "Alone in Wonderland," a book that became a cornerstone of her journey. Through her writing, Christine explores the interaction between independence and loneliness, shedding light on the complexities of living a nomadic lifestyle. Her experiences highlight the challenges and unexpected lessons of life on the road, offering insights into adaptation, learning, and finding comfort in the unconventional. Driven by a professional mission to impact the world through storytelling, Christine aims to transition into publishing other people's books, aspiring to publish 10 books a year by 2030. Her writing process involves intense focus interspersed with outdoor activities, often in coffee shops or her van. Looking ahead, she envisions owning a small A-frame cabin while maintaining her nomadic lifestyle.
