About Let ‘em go Barefoot

Connection is at the heart of Let ‘em go Barefoot. Connecting people to one another, to ideas, and to information that is based on science and ancient wisdom, which is vital to our journey as parents and educators.

It has been said that the state of our relationships determines the state of our well-being. I believe this also means the relationship we have with ourselves. When we take the time for introspection and really get to know what makes us tick, we are not only able to get clear on our values, but are better able to live out our values while supporting and guiding our children along the way.

I ask a lot of questions and I’m curious. Sometimes my questions are about topics that are supposedly “off the table”, but to me, inquiry is at the heart of moving forward with conscious awareness. If we can not talk about things, we can not grow and learn. It’s that simple. Opposing viewpoints allow us to flesh out ideas, beliefs, and attitudes even if we ultimately believe someone else is wrong in their convictions.

This is the space where I share topics that intrigue me, that interest me, and that impact and influence the way in which society raises and educates kids.

Here are just a few topics will find here:

  • unschooling (life learning) and self-directed education

  • conscious parenting

  • mental health

  • conflict resolution and emotional awareness/resilience

As far as education is concerned, we know education is more than learning facts and data inside of a classroom setting. Instead, it is a full body experience that involves emotional intelligence, self-preservation, and practical skills that should be customized to fit the unique needs and temperament of each learner.

I’m glad you are here!
