Deschooling Money & Minimalism

Rachel Rainbolt joins me on the podcast for episode 116, Deschooling, Money & Minimalism. This season we are moving further into the Deschooling process; what it means, why it is important, the broader impacts it has in our life and how it can positively impact our learning journey. (That's right. I said how it can positively impact our learning journey)

Rachel Rainbolt, founder of Sage Family, is a gentle parenting, natural homeschooling, and simple living mentor. With a master’s degree in marital and family therapy, she has spent decades guiding thousands of overwhelmed families to peace and joy. Rachel works from the Pacific Northwest, where she lives wild and free in connection with her 3 wildlings and the papa bear in their fixer upper on the beach.

In This Episode

Homeschooling flourishes when we are intentionally connected to our values. In this episode we explore what those values are for Rachel's family and the impact it has on not just their learning world, but on the life they lead. It's all about Deschooling Money, Minimalism, Simplicity, Intentionality and Relationships in order to live our best life. Tune in to listen to our discussion on:

  • Minimalism- letting go of all of the stuff that doesn't matter so that we create space for what does
  • Why unschooling is minimalism for education
  • Minimalism in parenting
  • Minimalism in relationships
