Like most things in the modern age, we're sold the idea that it's easy to simplify. But simplifying is a lifelong process. It takes time and consistent effort to realize what is and is not important to you. This podcast digs into why simplifying isn't simple in the age of excess, and how to work toward simplification as a process. Leaning into your authenticity is a means to achieve a simpler lifestyle. This is the final episode in Season 2 of the Family Yields Podcast. Enjoy! Follow me on instagram .

When we become parents, or even as we make our way in the world, it becomes clear that we are all still learning. This reality might not match the inner voices we have telling us we should have things figured out by now, be better at something, or in general get it together in some sort of 'grown up' way. This episode is about bringing self-compassion to our own inner parenting journey, because we all deserve to be held with softness and in our integrity. Follow me on instagram .

Homeschooling is not a viable option for everyone. Many parents want something different for their children, but are still participating in the school system. The system itself is not interested in changing (there will remain curriculums, teachers, tests, compliance, performative tasks, etc.) even though change is necessary. This podcast is about exploring what transition looks like by using an unschooling mindset to lead us out of an age of public schooling, even if we are still participating in it.

Many of our cultural patterns and socialization have been established though the use of control. As a result, we as parents, need to rewire our brains to look at situations with curiosity rather than defaulting to tactics of control. This applies to the way we treat ourselves as much as how we treat our children. Until we can re-pattern our brains to view situations without the underlying fears of controlling patterns, we will not be able to show up this way with our children. Follow me on instagram .

We often expect children to be resilient without teaching them how. In this podcast I talk about false resilience, how it impacts the nervous system, and how to cultivate genuine resilience in our children...and spoiler alert, it has something to do with our resilience as parents too!

Making the decision to change something and creating the habit of change are two different things. In this episode, Julie Walter digs deeper into how to create the situation where sustainable change is possible. Nature does a great job of modelling what sustainability actually looks like, so using permaculture, she explores how we can use what we see in nature to inform our lives. Follow me on instagram .

No one is the perfect parent. Why do we expect ourselves to be? This episode explores how we can parent with more self-compassion. We must recognize our humanity in our parenting and grow our self-compassion so that we can also grow compassion for our children. Self-compassion keeps us out of states of shame and blame and allows us to hold ourselves softly as we create the vision of the parent we wish to be AND hold with softness the parent we currently are.

A huge part of our human need is to feel a sense of belonging within community. The current models of community, particularly those in schools, do not cultivate belonging, they encourage 'fitting in.' When we forego authenticity in order to 'fit in' we are actually abandoning a true and rooted sense of belonging. " Fitting in is about assessing a situation and becoming who you need to be to be accepted. Belonging, on the other hand, doesn't require us to change who we are; it requires us to be who we are." - Brene Brown This episode explores what it means to cultivate belonging in our homes and extending out into our communities.

In gentle parenting, we often hear how important it is to connect with our children. In this episode, I look at how we can show up for this in an authentic way. Connection isn't the healing balm for everything in parenting...although it is a key ingredient. We also don't need to be afraid to set and hold boundaries, this is actually part of connection too! This is connection to ourselves, which teaches and adds authenticity to the connection between us and our child.

We have been educated to think there is one right way to educate children. Having come through the mainstream education system, the educational root is for us to choose the right curriculum and walk a child through it from start to finish to garner the desired result - an educated child. In this podcast, I look at how this ideology centres the curriculum and not the child. I also look at how following a curriculum can be both supportive and distracting when educating children. As always, I relate my thoughts to what nature teaches us about systems that thrive by discussing relevant principles from permaculture. Follow me on instagram .

In this episode I talk about a couple of practical strategies I use and recommend when feeling overwhelmed. There are many strategies out there, but for me, these ones give me perspective and allow me to move through difficult feelings with a bit more grace.

In this episode I share about my personal journey to uncovering an unconscious belief I have been holding for a very long time...perhaps a lifetime?! Uncovering it has led me to understanding things in new ways, and allowed me to have more compassion for my humanness and the human experience in others. I hope it is helpful to hear about my journey as you are working through yours.

In this episode I take a look at the ways in which it is culturally accepted to use control (a power over dynamic) in education and parenting. In an effort to support the unlearning of this I get really specific about the examples I use and just how much is going on underneath our reactions when we feel 'out of control.'

Thank you for joining me for the first episode of Season 2 of the Family Yields Podcast! This episode came about because I was feeling the urge to 'get it right' in my own home - as if there is a right and wrong way to do things in parenting. Spoiler alert: there is no one right way! Anyway, this got me thinking...then got me talking. Enjoy! If you're interested, I'll be running a FREE 'Should I Homeschool: 5 Day Clarity Challenge' from February 16-20, 2022.

Our world is growing increasingly polarized. It is becoming necessary to develop the skill of entertaining polarity in order to navigate increasingly frequent difficult situations. The idea of holding both/and is very helpful when trying to understand the other side of an argument. This podcast takes a look at polarity and how we can navigate it with grace.

Although it can be hard to see in the moment, it is not uncommon for difficult situations to become learning experiences that lead to new opportunities. In this podcast Julie Walter of Family Yields takes a deeper look at this idea and how seeing challenges as opportunities can deepen our experiences of life rather than sending us into toxic positivity.

Often we make choices in our everyday lives because they are the easiest in the moment. If we can hold ourselves accountable to our values, even in our small choices, we'll turn around one day and see that we have made great gains toward the life we've always wanted. The small decisions we make on a daily basis make a huge difference to our overall life and wellbeing. Create the life you want, one small choice at a time. Follow me on instagram .

It is difficult to make decisions that diverge from the mainstream culture. It is even harder to keep showing up in them when you get constant questions and comments about your choices. In this episode, I take a look at ways to show up when we feel like we don't fit in that are supportive to ourselves, but also compassionate to those who do not see things the way we do. I discuss how we can we show up in a way that honours ourselves and our choices, but is also respectful of other people's opinions and concerns. Follow me on instagram .

We are living in a culture which breeds scarcity thinking. This episode takes a look at what scarcity thinking is so that we can identify when we are using that thought pattern. When we can identify it, we have agency to change it. Scarcity thinking breeds fear. When we can step away from thoughts of scarcity and into thought patterns of abundance, we can shift our perspective and change our relationships with the people around us and our life.

We are given lots of ways to avoid our uncomfortable feelings...but rarely are we shown how to sit with them, let alone consider why we might want to. In this episode, I look at the reasons why we should normalize feelings of discomfort for ourselves so that we can do the same for our children. Normalizing discomfort applies to education as well as many other aspects of our lives. Discomfort during periods of change is normal, let's start looking at how to make it feel that way too!

It offers a systems based approach for looking at different aspects of how we are showing up in our lives.

Motivation is so key to having a functional homeschooling program! In this episode, Julie Walter discusses the various different ways to motivate your child that will have staying power. Many commonly used systems of motivation are not helpful, and ultimately lead to more problems with motivation. Motivation is a mindset that must be cultivated. Julie has put together a toolkit of the 5 best motivational strategies for homeschoolers to teach you how to build that mindset in your child. The tools provided are very practical and include the necessary worksheets and resources to implement these ideas immediately. The strategies in the toolkit were designed to build and develop your homeschooler's skills so that ultimately they will grow their own intrinsic motivation.

After reading many books about respectful discipline (or gentle parenting, mindful parenting, respectful parenting, peaceful parenting, etc.) there is a good sense of what not to do with children, but what isn't so clear what TO do. Because mindful parenting responds to the child and is specific to the parent/child relationship and personalities, it can be hard to get a sense of what it actually looks like. This was a struggle for me when I first started. I felt like all of my parenting tools were taken away from me and I didn't know what to do instead of threats and punishments. A big criticism of this form of parenting is that children 'get away with' too much. This is not the point of this style of parenting, to be sure! It is easy to see how this can happen without models of how it might look. We can fall into traps of feeling like our job is to keep our child happy making it easy to skip the step where we actually do hold our child accountable to our boundaries. In hopes of helping someone else on their journey, this podcast walks you through some of the different ways the problem of getting your child to clean their room could be approached. The goal is to be respectful to your child and hold space for their discomfort while maintaining a very clear and unchanging boundary at the same time. Follow me on instagram .

In this episode, Julie Walter takes a look at the ways in which homeschooling has the possibility to place the learner at the centre of their educational experience. While schools need to value the system above each individual student, homeschooling gives us the opportunity to educate the whole child. When children have space and time to learn about themselves and the way they show up in the world they are learning valuable skills that are not part of school curriculum. Follow me on instagram .

Many people argue that children are learning resilience through attending school during the pandemic. Although there is part of this that is true, this idea is problematic and difficult to tease apart. Resilience within a dysfunctional system is not necessarily helpful. This podcast takes a look at what resilience is, how children are and are not learning this skill through attending school during the pandemic (or through attending school in general), and discusses homeschooling as another form of resilience training for our children and ourselves.

Education first began in order to prepare young children for work in factories and to free up their parents to work. The foundations of our current educational systems are still embedded in what it looks like today.

When you are raising children, it can be difficult to feel like you can make a difference with what is happening in the world. In this podcast, I take a look at what it means to bring your activism down to the personal level which in turn affects your family and those around you. We have a huge amount of power to change the world through how we do our own inner work and interact with our children. Follow me on instagram .
