These Reveries with Adrienne Miller
Hosted by Adrienne Miller · EN
These Reveries Podcast is a Slow Living for the Modern Parent podcast filled with valuable insights and conversations about Unschooling, parenting with ADHD, healing from childhood trauma, socially conscious parenting, and embracing unconventional living without the burnout.
As a former teacher turned Unschooling mom of 3, I am redefining childhood outside of traditional school and teaching how you can find more rest and peace of mind while doing so. If you're ready to recreate the parts of parenting and childhood that feel fulfilling and downright magical, without running yourself thin, this show's for you.
This podcast asks the questions, Is traditional school really what’s best for my child? What do my kids actually need to learn? Am I really qualified do this? Or...how do I heal from my own childhood trauma while also parenting? Or how can I make my homeschool more diverse and inclusive?
Whether you have young children about to start school, have kids struggling in school, or are homeschooling already, this show’s for you if you're looking to slow down and enjoy parenting, allow your children to be leaders in their own lives and wanting to hear real conversations about it all.
I bring over a decade of Unschooling and parenting experience and strategies, support and encouragement that can help you create YOUR family’s dream life outside of traditional school. I share crucial mindset shifts and actionable advice around mindful parenting, my family’s unconventional lifestyle, unschooling with ADHD and healing my inner child. I'm sharing everything I've learned about this entire process, the challenges, breakthroughs and day-to-day reality of it all.
Along with sharing these insights, I interview other unschooling families, ADHD parents and creatives, and experts in the various related fields. My audience values diversity and inclusion of marginalized communities, and strive to embrace socially just values in our lives. Now it’s your turn to listen in and start creating the life you want for your family outside the classroom and alongside your kids!
