#1 Welcome to the Unschooling Mom2Mom Podcast! (top of this page)
"I have followed Sue Patterson a bit,
but just began listening to her podcast today while driving.
I LOVE it. Short 10-15 min episodes, valuable information.
We have been navigating deschooling and unschooling
and it’s quite a journey of breaking all the thoughts and systems we have been conditioned in.
This podcast has been so validating and valuable in just the few episodes I have listened to so far.
Highly recommended! 👏🏻👍🏻 "
