EU106: Unschooling Connections with Kelly Callahan
My guest this week is Kelly Callahan, unschooling mom of two. Kelly is now four years into her unschooling journey, and I was excited to explore how unschooling has been weaving ever more deeply into their lives. We chat about how they began unschooling, her deschooling challenges, the connections she’s seen between unschooling and her work as a homeopathic doctor, maintaining family connections with her husband when he travels for work, and lots more.
Quote of the Week
“The things that challenge me are never the unschooling. It’s really because I’m super attached to something—being someway or some idea I had about it.” ~ Kelly Callahan

It seems that as I go deeper into one, it takes me deeper into the other. Have you found that as well?
I understand that your husband has been traveling a lot with work. Can you share your experience with keeping him in the loop and maintaining connections while he’s away?
You’ve been unschooling for four years now. At this point in your journey, do you find that unschooling principles weave their way into all aspects of your lives?
