Episode 2 – Peeling the LayersWhat if devotion has been disguised as depletion? In this episode of the Mini Series - The Reset: We love this work, but not like this, Sari opens up about her journey through unschooling, burnout, and learning to choose herself again. From questioning inherited systems to redefining what devotion really means, this is a story of peeling back the layers — one truth, one pause, one act of self-trust at a time.//Follow us on Instagram @radical_learningSign up for our newsletters @ https://www.radical-learning.org

Episode 1 – Outgrowing the PotWhat happens when the thing you’ve built no longer fits who you’ve become? In this opening episode for our new Mini Series (The Reset: We love this work, but not like this!), we share the moment we realized Radical Learning was ready to evolve — and so were we. From letting go of old identities to embracing joy, alignment, and creative expansion, this is a conversation about growing beyond the limits of what once worked and daring to plant ourselves in wider soil.//Follow us on Instagram @radical_learningSign up for our newsletters @ https://www.radical-learning.org

Episode 3 – Becoming the StoryWhat happens when the work you love starts hurting you? In this part 3/5 of our new Mini Series (The Reset), Becka traces her journey from rebellious student to teacher, to founder, and finally to walking away from the very systems she tried to change. It’s a story about burnout, courage, and the messy beauty of reclaiming joy — even when it means leaving behind what you built.//Follow us on Instagram @radical_learningSign up for our newsletters @ https://www.radical-learning.org

Episode 4 — Under the SurfaceYou might think you’re stepping into unschooling to get your kid out of a broken system. But, as we’ve learned, that’s just the tip of the iceberg!In part 4/5 of our Mini Series - The Reset, we name what’s underneath: the deep, often invisible work that emerges after the decision to leave school. From control and power dynamics to healing, joy, productivity, identity, and intergenerational patterns, this is where deschooling stops being about education and starts becoming about everything.And we made this Iceberg Knowledge Tracker PDF to help you follow along.If you’ve done all the “right” things but still feel stuck, this one gets underneath.//Follow us on Instagram @radical_learningSign up for our newsletters @ https://www.radical-learning.org

In this milestone conversation, we reflect on what courage has meant in our lives and in the journey of unschooling, deschooling, and liberated living. We explore the relationship between fear and courage, the difference between vulnerability and fragility, and how small daily acts of bravery can lead to transformative leaps. We share personal stories of stepping into the unknown - from moving across continents to reshaping family life outside of conventional schooling—and how embracing fear can open portals to growth, dreaming, and expansion.This episode is both a celebration and an invitation: to meet your fears with curiosity, to honor your vulnerability, and to keep practicing courage as a muscle thatAs mentioned in this episode:Grab our Free Guide:What to Do When School Stops WorkingPlease consider making a donation to support the production of this podcast here: https://paypal.me/RadicalLearningLLC

This episode was born from a heartfelt question we received from a parent in our community. How do you navigate the strong feelings that come up when you’ve seen the harms of the school system - yet your family, friends, or even your kids might still choose school? And how do you handle the pushback when any criticism of school feels like an attack?We dive into the cultural clash at the heart of these questions: why critiques of school often feel personal, how to honor the good intentions of teachers without defending a broken system, and why avoiding binary thinking matters. Join us as we share strategies for bringing more nuance, empathy, and empowerment into these tricky conversations - without losing sight of your values or your relationships.As mentioned in the episode:- Get our Free Guide: What to Do When School Stops Workinghttps://radical-learning.thinkific.com/products/digital_downloads/school-not-working- Please consider making a donation to support the production of this podcast here: https://paypal.me/RadicalLearningLLC
