SEASON 2

The Ladies Fixing the World Podcast

Three Moms, One Podcast: Conversations on Unschooling and Parenting

It all started in Normandie, France, during a worldschooling event, when I was solving all the problems of the world in deepdive conversations with my amazing friends: I realized - wuauv, if only I had had the chance on listening in on something like this, when I was first starting out on my unschooling journey. If I had only known!

Fixing the world over a cup of tea or a meal or a walk, I realised technology today allows us to share with a much larger group than the ones around us. Via longformat podcast I learn a lot, and this is my contribution: Listen in, when I fix the world with my co-hosts.

Here we are. The hosts of the second season of The Ladies Fixing the World
