My co-parent and I let our child quit school 6 months ago and listening to you I just realised what a process of life change I have had! I have given up working on days I have him and am just living my bliss on these days rather than just weekends. I'm deschooling! That idea that my endeavours must create a billable hour or saleable product. Just being! Thanks for highlighting this and sharing the joy you have gotten from embracing the process of unschooling!

It all makes sense when you consider that the school system is designed to produce obedient workers

Do you have a copy of your planner as an outline to be edited?

I can relate so much, especially on your last belief about not dreaming too big. Please share more!!!

Morena Lucy, Thank you for this beautiful offering absolutely loved it. What a shame I only just got this now in April, I also just checked and there are other videos you've uploaded that I didn't get even though I clicked notifications,, stupid annoying algorithm haha sooooo enjoying your work wish I could afford to do all your courses.

Do you think you will post more videos?

Love the art at the end! Since becoming a Mom (7) years ago. I am just now getting back to finding myself again. I agree that when you just focus on everyone else, you loose you. Thank you for your insight and wisdom.

What a wonderful conversation! Thanks so much for sharing. I have 3 kids who I am home edding (relaxed homeschoooing, almost unschooling). It’s so nice to see the comments and advice coming from the grown up kids. ❤😊

You betta' Preach, Girl!!! Everything you said Totally Resonated with me soooooo much. Oh My Goodness!!! I am in training to be a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I desperately want to do Adventure/Eco/Outdoor Therapy with couples and families because I LOVE being outside in all kinds of weather. I want to travel the world with my family as well. This is a huge dream for me. I'm taking the steps to make it happen and trusting God on my journey. But I do have moments that take me back to my public school days and make me think. How on Earth can I make this a business for myself and sustain my family? Is this too big of a dream? Am I being realistic? Am I smart enough to do this? What if I fail? This video was so encouraging to me. It makes me feel like I can do anything I put my mind to. Thanks so much, Lucy. You are AWESOME!!!

⁠Grotesquely wealthy capital owners are indeed toxic and destructive. We will never free ourselves or one another through individualist business ventures or financial freedom discourse. It is of course important for moms to find paths where they can survive and thrive within a capitalist framework where possible. Internalize a positive sense of self worth and right to thrive. Offering accessible encouragement and confidence building so people can assess their needs and path can be a really positive thing. The systemic structures that keep the vast majority of people in poverty or wage slavery are very real. The existence of large swathes of people living precariously is a feature of the system, not a bug. Continued commodification of every aspect of our lives is a feature. The development of influencer culture and self branding, the monetization of everything, these things exist within larger contexts. Financial freedom discourse and content comes in various forms. I don’t think it is inherently bad- Though this type of discourse can slide into, or is often directly rooted in, very rightwing thinking and worldview if it’s not properly contextualized. There is a reason why “financial freedom” content has an increasingly large footprint alongside growing wealth inequality and austerity. I’ve followed your vids on your other channels in the past and appreciated a lot about your insight. Cool to see recent content posted! I hope you are well!

I needed this so so much! In every aspect of my life including home ed. thanks ✨💚

Wow you really hit the mark here with topic number 1 and the amount of friend time needed; is it less or is it more, is it big or small? We are fresh to the homeschool journey and my son loves staying home but he also adores having huge parties of friends. I would love to include him in more conversation about what kind and how much friend time he wants. I really enjoyed hearing about your situation being surrounded by school kids and the culture that comes with a small town. The perspective you have and share is phenomenal and such a ray of sunshine and inspiration.

I really love this method of homeschooling or unschooling. But my concern is income. How do you make a living financially?

Hi Lucy. Ive been almost obsessively following your vids and podcast appearances as I adore your vibe and also am an off grid Mama (in Scotland) interested in unschooling (my 1 year old). Thanks for ALL the epic content. Its gently blowing my mind. Currently following my intuition around work and mothering, taking an extended break from work (thankyou privilege) to focus on my family. HOWEVER I still have dreams and I resonate with how you talk about us women being taught to stay small. My little dream seed is to hold women's moon circles that are accessible for free to build local community and provide the space in service for those of us keen to meet women in circle regularly. I am SO scared haha so learning to say Fuck It to my fears of being judged or rejected and slowly gather the dream so it can manifest properly. One day when I return to earning money I will come back to what you say about marketing ethically as I have struggled as a SE person to build a client base though marketing as it feels so icky and I am not great at it lol. Will keep an eye on your work and courses. Thanks for being yourself and sharing your imperfect wonderful humanness. ❤ do more of these rambles please, you're very entertaining 😊

Love how you observe the unschooling culture and then put emphasis on making it practical.

keep going, Lucy! I have been following you for years and I wish I would be there... but not yet. I am sure I am on the way though. Greetings from Slovakia. Lydia

This is SO good!

I needed this. Thank you! Especially rhe part about being radically imperfect and the wounds that school has left. I'm constantly overthinking how i say things, spelling and grammar. It's exhausting. Screw it! Lol. That last bit gave me life! I deserve to live my dream of taking my cat and kids to live abroard! Dispite what others think. Your experiment was a success. x

I have followed you for ten years, since my oldest was brand new and you had lulastick and the hippyshake. I've missed you so, your light, your guidance, amazing insight and perspectives. Saw an email and was soo stoked to see you back on youtube. Much love to you from Ca ✨🌀 Happy full moon 🌕

Really glad I found this video - a lot of it resonated with me. I've definitely tried to undo some of my money beliefs over the last few years, and can totally see what you mean about how they can all be linked back to school. I read Rob Moore's book Money a couple of years ago and he spoke a lot about this belief around money being evil and rich people not being noble and to be scorned etc and how that belief holds us back so much. I've started a youtube channel and not afraid to say yes I would love it to make me money so that I can afford to live in freedom and keep home educating my kids - and also hopefully one day to show others that they don't have to work for someone else if they don't want to either. But a few years ago I definitely would have felt like I can't do these things and *want* to make money. The competition thing too - so true! School is all about having to compete and be the best and other people have to fail where you succeed. So thank you for this video - it was really interesting. Sorry if this is a bit rambly it's late here and I'm half asleep 🤣

I want to take a moment to thank you. You were right, my 7 yr old will learn. He learned to count money and make change playing monolopy. We got him an incubator, he has hatched chicks, raised turkeys and Guinea fowl. He sold his first bird dressed for a couples first free rage, organic turkey for turkey day. He is saving to buy more chicks in the spring. We are eating the roosters, they tasted so good. I showed him how to skin it and pull innards out by hand. I’m so proud. I trusted the process, cause of you. Thank you. Happy turkey day, bless you and your fam. ❤️

I would like to share with your a little insight. One can and should move past "Belief". Most are stuck in the very limited paradigm of "belief", which is simply a not knowing. I started by eliminating the word from my vocabulary. Why? Well... When you learn, as I believe you have, about resonating. Asking and listening to your heart and trusting same, which can never be wrong for you. You are moving past the stepping stone of "belief" to your "Realization" this is personal Development, (the main purpose of our existence throughout all our lives) have Faith in your Realizations not your "belief" I started by replacing the word "belief" with more correct expressions, like "I'm convinced" , "my current perspective on the the matter is" etc...

Lucy where's your yurt. Did I miss a video? Great to c u back on youtube. Your thoughts are so important and valuable to support unschoolers and those questioning everything:-) Have u tried eft tapping to release blocks around money (it's been an amazing practice for me) ❤

Thank you so much to two beautiful witchy women for a fascinating conversation. So much of what you both said resonated deeply with me. Light and love from Canada.

❤

Thank you

I work full time from home and I'm wondering if it's possible or just going to be too much. My 7 year old has PDA and 4 year old has just started school. Both are fine about going to school (for now) but I feel very uneasy about it... but want to pull them out at some point.

this was so helpful! I thought about waldorf, but started reading into it. I think I'm going to do little elements if my son enjoys it while he is still little, but not go all in

Me through this whole conversation… 🙌🙌🙌🙌✊✊✊🙌🙌🙌🫶🫶🫶🥳🥳🥳🙌🙌🙌

I think your absolutely amazing women , I’m on my healing journey currently and planning for my 8 months only unschooling future and the soul I’m growing in my belly 🥰🥰

I love this so much. Even though I am not homeschooling, but do work with children in a school context, this all resonates with me so much.

I am welling up with how pertinent this is about how changes in society are needed.

This is bang on!!

Resonated in so many ways! Thanks so much ❤ Btw food is the bane of my life

How do I find women like this in my rural area?! I didn't realize this is what I was missing until this video!

Such an interesting conversation. Thank you for sharing x

Wonderful to listen to this conversation, lovely Witch Women. I relate to much that you discussed. Thank you for your honesty and wisdom 🌻

Yay yay yay can't wait to watch

Sophies story is deeply powerful. Im also estranged from my dad from trauma and her experience has given me divine hope ❤❤❤

Thank you so much! This was so so helpful and needed. I’ve actually just made it through a week of being shot at from every angle by different family members for being the witchy black sheep of the family who truly believes unschooling is the best path for my son and this just made my heart feel nourished and reassured that I’m making the right choices for myself and my family ❤

Thank you for healing Lucy, Jesus❤

❤One of the main reasons I am becoming a marriage and family therapist is to help others and myself heal from school wounds.

❤I started walking and stretching outside barefoot under trees. It has been so refreshing to me.

We start the day the same, and we are not unschoolers. I allow the mind to fully awaken, lol

This was so helpful. Thank you. We struggle with our 5 year old wanting to connect/be active/chatty first thing at the butt crack of dawn. Spouse and I want silent coffee time. I was giving kiddo the iPad and feeling guilty. But I’m soooo much happier when I start my day in peace…. So I think I’ll let him have the iPad again. Even if it’s only for a season. I can’t wait until he learns to read. I’m hoping he’s a bookworm Lol

I’m so glad I watched this. I’m pulling my soon to be “6th grader” out to unschool. He is VERY social and always gets in trouble for talking during class.

Thank you for this!! Beautiful.

Lovely interview!

I enjoy your videos over here on a homestead in Missouri usa. 1 thing I struggle with our unschooling is my son is 6 and has no desire to read or write. Will it be okay?
