Description

In this episode, we welcome the always inspiring, Robyn Robertson, host of Honey! I’m Homeschooling the Kids. In this conversation, we dive deep into what schools simply can’t teach—and how homeschooling and unschooling unlock opportunities for lifelong learning that traditional education just can’t provide.


Robyn shares her family’s incredible journey, from worldschooling adventures in Jamaica and Korea to helping her children transition into high school as confident, self-directed learners. We talk about the mindset shifts required to let go of schooling norms and embrace the true meaning of learning.


Here’s what we explore:



  • Why learning and schooling are not the same—and why this matters for your family.

  • How comparison steals joy and limits your child’s potential.

  • The skills schools can’t teach, like self-advocacy, confidence, and intrinsic motivation.

  • Practical tips to stop replicating school at home and instead create a flexible, meaningful approach to education.


If you’ve ever questioned whether you’re “doing enough” or wondered how to truly support your child’s growth, this conversation is for you.
