5-10 minute pep talk for unschooling parents and those who are considering unschooling their children

Sue Patterson is an unschooling coach with over 25 years of experience in the homeschooling/unschooling community. Her three now-grown children were all unschooled. She shares what she's seen work - and what didn't work - with listeners who are interested in exploring a different way to educate their children.
 

I started the podcast because my membership/subscribers requested it. The convenience of being able to listen to a quick pep talk was appealing to them and to me! I began recording them for the private groups in August of 2020, and began releasing them to the public in March 2021.
 

Each episode is released on Mondays - a pep talk for the week ahead!

I fund the podcast through my coaching practice, but I actually spend very little on it.
 

I haven't explored sponsorships.
Podcasting benefits me as it widens my audience, allowing more people to know about unschooling and what I have to offer.
 

I have a Yeti microphone, and I record on Zoom.
I write out my script ahead of time, and read it for the podcast.
No guests, just me.
 

I market my show via Instagram, Facebook, and Pinterest. I also have a decent email list, and they get an email reminder each week.
 

Just do it. Even without music, editing, or anything fancy, I've created a podcast that people want to listen to. All you have to do is have a topic that you know about and are willing to share with your audience. I've been to lots of webinars and watched a lot of YouTube videos from well-known podcasters. But diving in is the best advice I have.
