Life rarely goes as planned—and in unschooling families, that’s part of the point. In this conversation, Sandra Dodd, Cecilie Conrad, and Sue Elvis explore how unschooling equips families to meet change and crisis without losing their center.
They talk about illness, loss, and emotional recovery, about broken routines, power outages, and the quiet skills that grow when life doesn’t follow the script. From Sue’s experience with grief and bushfires to Cecilie’s cancer story and Sandra’s stories of family adaptation, the conversation shows how trust, connection, and flexibility create real resilience.
Unschooling isn’t a strategy for avoiding the hard parts of life—it’s a way of living that allows families to meet them together.
