The Raising Free People Approach to Support Calls

After working with a handful of families transitioning out of schoolishness and into more partner-centered, decolonized practices at home, my mother and I have realized that we can offer support and insights without feeling pulled into a conventional coaching model.

The difference in words matter here, because what we're doing isn't giving you the steps or the answers, at all, because we don't do parenting boot camps or coaching. What we can do together is discern, notice and name things out loud, and create accountability and increasing confidence in your capacity to relate to (your) children and yourself differently that you have in the past.

HOW INSIGHT CALLS WORK ⚙️

• Go to my calendar below and book a free 15-minute chat.
• After that, if I think I can be helpful, I'll invite you by email to book a paid session. You'll be prompted to book by by choosing a date and time, paying my session fee, and then answering a few questions.
• All sessions are done by Zoom, unless otherwise requested and accepted.
• During our session, I will listen, share my insights, and give you names and links to any resources (people or websites) that I think may be useful to you.
• I will follow up with you, by email, within 4 days of our session.
• You can only book one session at a time.

Insight calls are not just for unschoolers.

Nor are they exclusively or people already embracing Self-Directed Education (SDE). My insights will most definitely draw on SDE principles. This is far more than an approach to learning, though! It's a mindset that takes away the one leader/savior/knowledge-keeper idea and replaces that with confident autonomy and a community/world approach to living.

Insight calls are not just for parents either.

I am happy to work with anyone who wants to shed old norms about what adult-child relationships should look like, or power dynamics in any relationship, but isn't quite sure how to go about that.
