After spending most of the month talking about typical unschooling days - and how nothing is really "typical", this week, I'm doing a 180!
Turns out, there ARE some things that are typical in the day in the life of a successful unschooling family. And I want you to know what that is!  Actually, I've come up with SEVEN Tips that set successful unschooling parents apart from the rest.

I now have a Typical Day Playlist over at YouTube so you can watch/listen to anything I have that refers to A Day in the Life of an Unschooler, Typical Days, etc.

I did a 15-day Challenge in my Membership Group, so if you need to dive deeper into this, you can join us through the special link for Podcast Listeners!

#25 - In our most vulnerable episode to date, Shane walks us through his entire daily routine from start to finish. Shane starts off explaining why every leader should care about emotional intelligence and transformational leadership before taking us along with him through a typical work day. We discuss grounded empathy, emotional check-ins, steps Shane takes after every client call, how leaders can manage their boundaries through the day, and the importance of switching gears before walking in your home at the end of a long day. All of the habits shared in this episode are done to facilitate the needs of leadership in our busy, ever changing world.
