Hollie speaks passionately about reclaiming childhood for what it’s meant to be: a time of curiosity, creativity, and freedom. She challenges the societal expectations that push children to grow up too quickly and invites parents to create space for their children to be exactly who they are, without rushing and without pressure to meet arbitrary milestones.This conversation is an invitation to slow down and embrace motherhood in all its messy, magical moments. They discuss balancing self-care with parenting, and why Hollie chose an alternative education path for her family. Expect real talk on navigating guilt, creating strong family bonds and finding joy in the simple, everyday connections that truly matter.Hollie's book recommendations:The Element Book by Ken Robinson - https://amzn.to/4iBCnKpDumbing Us Down by John Gatto - https://amzn.to/4kS5sCV Thank you for listening!
