Learning in my school years felt awful — pressured, disconnected, and heavy.

In my 20s, learning came through brutal life lessons that stripped away illusions and built resilience.

In my 30s, the inner work I had started in my mid-20s finally began to bear fruit — I learned more about myself, unlearned old patterns, and realized that growth often comes with pain. I also discovered that learning by doing is truly my way of learning.

Now, in my 40s, learning feels different — lighter, more natural, exciting, loving, and in flow. It’s no longer about proving or surviving, but about expanding, creating, and remembering who I truly am.

And this is why I choose to unschool my daughters — to spare them those brutal cycles of learning and unlearning, and to let them experience from the very beginning that learning and life can be joyful, connected, and free.
