This is episode 51 and today I’m here with Kaleena Amuchastegui talking about taking the homeschool leap.

Kaleena is a mama of 4 and co-author of The 5 Hour School Week along with her husband Aaron. She left all the comfort of living and learning the traditional way and and now through travel, open communication and a huge dose of trust, they are learning and thriving together as a family.

I work from an island in the Pacific Northwest, where I live wild and free in connection with my hilarious husband and three growing sailors in our fixer upper on the beach. I authentically live this healing work out loud raising my own neurodivergent family (inner child included) and draw on my decades of education and experience (I've done all the nerdy work so you don't have to) to guide a revolution of overwhelmed parents just like you to feeling at peace within yourself, consciously connected with your children, embraced by a supportive community, and enjoying a values-aligned life you love.
