MOTM #262: State of the Union: Home-schooling, Parenting, and Creating Independent Thinkers with Dr. Stephanie Hine

Monday, December 7th, 2020

Today I have on a repeat guest—the ever so lovely Dr. Stephanie Hine— but we’re talking about something a little different. Stephanie is a business owner and a kick-ass PT, but she has another job that she is just as incredible at: she is a mother.

Stephanie is doing motherhood a little bit differently, and the world is going to be all the better for it. Her kids are smart, well-adjusted, and are learning to experience the world on their own terms. Some people may judge the Hines for their homeschooling or their non-traditional life, but I think they’re amazing. 

Like Stephanie says, kids need agency. In order to be compassionate and independent thinkers, you have to give them space to become those things. If we want a better future, we have to start at home, and friends? The kids are alright. 

In This Episode You'll Hear:

  • A recap of Stephanie’s life pre-COVID
  • What happened when lockdowns hit
  • Reframing what learning looks like for kids
  • Allowing your kids to be themselves
  • Techniques and strategies used to create space for self expression
  • Messing up, but knowing how to ask for repair
  • Believe what people tell you
  • The future changes with our kids
  • The courage to live life against the status quo
  • Why? Says who?
