About Micarle:
"Before we started on our family’s homeschooling journey, I spent 15 years working with teens as a secondary teacher. As a teacher, I was constantly in awe of the young adults around me. The wisdom, responsibility, ingenuity, kindness and the love of learning displayed, when given the opportunity to follow their true interests and passions, always left me humbled. When it came to our own little humans we gave traditional schooling a go, but quickly decided it wasn’t for us. In amongst all this, I run literacy intervention sessions, I am creating an online program to share methods and resources. AND I am an executive function coach.
Fearless Homeschool was founded by Kelly Kotanidis, in 2016, to help homeschoolers gain the confidence to step away from the school model and create an interesting and wildly effective education for their families.
In 2023 I stepped in to continue and expand on Kelly’s vision. We have helped thousands of families embrace their own quirky style of natural learning with
free homeschooling resources, homeschooling courses, and the yearly Australian Homeschooling Summit.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
