Welcome back to the IGNITE Your Dream Podcast!  I am so excited to share today's conversation with you with innovator + disruptivator, Leah McDermott! Leah is a former Master Educator turned radical unschooling advocate, and mama of three boys. She is the owner of Your Natural Learner and Bridge Academy, where she provides resources and community for natural learning and homeschoolers around the world. After years spent in the public school classrooms, Leah recognized the disconnect between what we know to be true about how learning happens and what we were doing to our children in the system. In 2011, after having her first child, she made the decision to step away from the public learning system and began her work in encouraging and supporting homeschooling families to raise a new generation of confident and passionate lifelong learners, and today focuses on helping parents shift their mindset to trust that their children are capable of learning what they need when they need it. In today's episode we dive deep into what it means to "unschool," the challenges our children face within the current school system and what can happen when we trust our children's natural learning instincts over society's current models.  I hope this conversation serves as an invation to expand + shift your perspective if you feel called to do so. I can't wait for you to listen!  Links Mentioned:  Learn more about Leah's work:  https://naturallearningshop.com/ https://www.bridgeacademy.us/ Follow her over on Instagram: @yournaturallearner Sign up for tomorrow's Model Magic Masterclass!
