Hello! 👋

Most parents arrive here because they’re doing something (or are considering doing something) that doesn’t fit neatly into the mainstream, and they’re tired of second-guessing themselves. Tired of the worry, and the stress, and the judgement. Parents who want to take hold of the amazing opportunities this lifestyle offers, and really own it. Parents who want help and encouragement without strict ideology or fear-based advice. Parents who want real, tactical support week in and week out.

That's what this Collection exists for.

Inside, you’ll find a big library of episodes (with a new one landing every single week) that will help you:

  • think more clearly about what your children actually need, developmentally
  • calm all that background anxiety that creeps in when you’re doing something different
  • respond to doubt, pressure, and comparison with real confidence
  • guide and coach your children in genuine ways without feeling the pressure of replicating school at home
  • trust yourself and your instincts much, much more

(You can subscribe as long as you feel the need to, and cancel any time.)

"For anyone on the fence, Issy’s podcasts are pure magic; he’s a huge reason that I had the courage to take the homeschool leap, and he’s the encouraging voice in my ear along the way…best thing I ever signed up for.

And to Issy: I appreciate you and all you share and your wisdom and encouragement so SO very much; thank you for everything you do!"

Included in the Collection (which is just $10USD/month):

  • Weekly episodes of The Life Without School Podcast (an exclusive audio library that's now 30 hours long, covering 60 topics and counting) that are only available here. This is a huge, growing library of direct, powerful guidance for every challenge you'll face on this journey. Whether you're having a moment of doubt or looking for inspiration, you'll find exactly what you need, exactly when you need it.
  • My three-part self-paced course (including downloadable worksheets) that will help you get really clear on how to design the right home education environment for your family.
  • All five of my digital guides that you can download on any device, anywhere (the Grandparent's Guide, to help your parents better understand your home educating decision, is my personal favourite).
  • Two hours of on-demand masterclasses with expert guests that you can watch anytime.
  • Our three complete and fully approved (by the New Zealand Ministry of Education) school exemption applications.
"Thanks for all your content, it is SO helpful to me. You seem to strike that perfect balance between freedom and structure. I find that so difficult myself, so everything you share is just such a goldmine. I recently became a paying subscriber and, well, it's like running around in a candy store, stuffing my face."
