S7E148: Season 7- Having Your WHY Lead Your WAY

S7E148: Season 7- Having Your WHY Lead Your WAY

Author: Robyn Robertson January 1, 2023 Duration: 16:00

Welcome to Season 7!

Season 6 was a focus on Deschooling. It was a look back and reflection on our beliefs, expectations and what's most important to us. 

Season 7 is a shift. We are moving from pause and reflection to action. 

Having our why lead our way.

You may know that I often reference the learning journey to being on a family road trip. We are on this adventure together and everyone has a different reason for taking a family road trip. Some may have a specific destination that they want to reach. Others may just want to enjoy the journey and experiences together.

The road can be smooth sailing for a while. But we may also encounter a few bumps in the road. We may get lost along the way. We may take longer to reach a destination than we originally planned. We may even want to get out the car and take a break from each other. 

So in this season of our road trip, we are taking our road map back out and checking to see if we are still on track. Is the destination or reason why we are travelling still meaningful to us? Have it shifted and do we need to make any shifts? 

Is there a new path to take, or are we continuing on the road we have been on the past year?

What about our children? What are their reflections as to where they are on this "road trip".

Season 7 will be a shift for my family and this podcast in many ways as well.

Robyn Robertson hosts Honey! I'm Homeschooling The Kids, a conversation that goes far beyond curriculum choices and into the heart of what it means to learn and grow together as a family. This isn't about presenting a perfect blueprint; instead, each episode feels like an honest chat with a friend who gets it, exploring the nuanced realities of choosing an educational path outside the conventional system. You'll hear from a diverse range of voices-experienced homeschoolers, unschooling advocates, educational researchers, and parents just figuring it out-all sharing their stories, challenges, and triumphs. The discussions naturally weave through parenting philosophies, cultural perspectives on childhood, and practical advice for nurturing a rich, engaging home life. Tuning into this podcast means finding a supportive community and thoughtful reflections on creating a family culture that prioritizes connection, curiosity, and joy. It’s for anyone curious about alternative education or simply seeking inspiration for a more intentional and fulfilling life with their kids.
