Support Self Directed

As parents, we have been on our own journey of self-directed learning and unschooling for over a decade. When we started, we found that there wasn't a lot of information out there for families like ours, who wanted to choose a life without traditional schooling. That's why we started our podcast: to make it easier for other families to find information, hear inspiring stories, and learn from others who have chosen this path.

We believe that every child has the right to take charge of their own education and that every family has the right to choose a life that prioritizes freedom and family time. Our podcast explores these themes through our own experiences as a full-time traveling family, as well as through conversations with like-minded guests who share their own stories and insights.

Your donation helps us continue to produce thought-provoking content, spread the word about our podcast, and keep our podcast ad-free. With your support, we can keep this mission going and inspire more people to live a more Self Directed life.

Thank you for your continued support. We look forward to bringing you more engaging and enlightening content in the future.

With gratitude,

Cecilie and Jesper Conrad
