22: Unschooling Understood With Jean Nunnally

Jean Nunnally joins us today to talk about her path to unschooling her two children. Although not originally in her life’s plan to unschool, Jean decided to look into unschooling as a young mother and never went back. You’ll learn Jean’s story from a traditional schooling background to adapting to her own children’s learning needs. She’s written “Success Without School: Unschooling My Children From Birth to College”, a book that speaks to all whether you unschool or not.EPISODE TAKEAWAYS (what you’ll learn):From a traditional upbringing to the unschooling pathJean’s history as a people pleaser and what it’s taken to break the patternHow intuition and signs from the Universe led Jean to unschoolingSeeing our institutions in a new and different lightAbout The Guest:Jean Nunnally is a veteran unschooling mother of two children from their birth until college. Traditionally educated in public school in Blount County, she completed a degree in finance at the University of Tennessee before starting a 14-year career with Shell Oil in Houston, Texas. She left the business world after becoming a mom and was subsequently accredited as a La Leche League leader and eventually became a board-certified lactation consultant. Her unusual story detailing her unschooling journey--what she learned from the experience and the broader implications of this philosophy of choice and self-determination--shows that self-directed learning is not only a possible alternative to conventional school, but highly successful and a critical concept for the future of education to boot.Find Jean Nunnally here:WebsiteFacebookInstagramAbout the Host:Maureen Spielman is the Founder of Mystical Sisterhood, a podcast dedicated to bringing more joy, healing and expansion to the world.
