Here’s my voice version instead 👇🏻👇🏻 I’ve been thinking about what it takes to be human. A dear friend and client of mine M died this week and I was recalling the last call we had together. During our hour, we planned where she might go for alternative care but she threw off my suggestion that she might just want to consider her will and last wishes. Then she broke into sobs. In between the wetness of her distress she shout-stuttered the phrase “I’m not ready to go”.
Oh my goodness. I’m honoured as I know if people aren’t an audio fan then that’s BIG. I forgot there was audio in it - I put it there without sending it out to subscribers (when I first thought I might like to be here) and I’d not discovered the audio post option.
So thrilled to be in your ears. That means a lot to me x
So sad that you lost those friendships and had to deal with the negativity around your babies. So glad you followed your gut and what was right for you and your family each time.
As my son has stopped going to school and we've started unschooling I've let some friendships drift with people who don't 'get it' and have built a small tribe of those who do, including being able to write here on Substack at my page Holy Choas!
Oh Faith I hear you about the ‘drifting friendships’. It’s good to hear you’ve found a small group of people who understand your choice to unschool. Many who end up out of the education system in schools are there not necessarily out of choice but because of unmet needs. We both get that!
Better to have a tiny tribe of loving people than a large judging group.
Thank you so much for reading my work. Truly you’re making a difference. As is Holy Chaos.
I actually listened to this! I almost never listen to audio on Substack, loved your voice and stories

You’ve inspired me to do an audio next!
Yay! Can’t wait to hear it.
