#107 Tending the relationship and tending ourselves, with Megan Arevalo in Michigan, US

In this episode, I am chatting with Megan Arevalo, who lives in Michigan with her husband and two children, who are three and eight. After initially homeschooling, Megan came to unschooling after her daughter’s burnout, when she realised she needed to focus entirely on connection and wellbeing. Megan talks about the subsequent autism diagnoses and her own path from feeling like she had to hold everything together to understanding her own neurodivergence. And we talk about what it looks like to embrace connection over control, let go of perfectionism, and keep learning from our children. I hope you enjoy the conversation.  Connect with Megan: https://megantarevalo.substack.com/ **If you'd like to support the podcast and the sharing of these stories,** you can do that here.   **Thank you!** The Parent's Handbook to Unschooling Yourself.
