 What if the only thing standing between your child and a thriving education… is everything you were taught to believe about school?

In this gutsy, permission-giving episode, QuantiMama Jodi and QuantiMama Kerri get honest about what it really took to become Leap Takers. They lay down the five biggest fears parents face when considering a shift—fears they know intimately because they’ve lived them:
“I’m not qualified.”
“What if my kid resists?”
“What if I stuff it all up?”

This is not a step-by-step how-to. It’s a balls-and-all invitation to reimagine parenting without outsourcing your power. To question the narrative that says stress is normal, resistance is defiance, and the curriculum is king.

Along the way, they unpack:

  • How to know if your child’s school resistance is actually a signal—not a flaw
  • What ‘uncoercible’ parenting looks like when no one’s watching
  • Why socialisation is wildly misunderstood (and often overdone)
  • How de-schooling isn’t just for kids—it’s a total parental mindset shift
  • And why starting before you're ready might just be the most honest move you make

There’s no blueprint here—just a deep belief in the capacity of families to course-correct. And a loving reminder: You’re not alone. This path might be non-linear, but it’s faarking worth it.

If your inner knowing’s been nudging you toward something else, hit play. And if you’re curious about the course Jodi and Kerri built while walking this road, you’ll find it here: quantimama.com/take-the-leap
