Ep. 73: How Grief Deschooled Her

When Louvenia Wilkerson became a widow at 40 years old, grief and motherhood intersected in deeply difficult ways. The mother of three began a journey that caused her to question everything. Those questions led her to take her big pause from homeschooling, from entrepreneurship, and everything she identified with, including religion. Five years later, Lou and her children have happily transitioned into unschooling and taking a slow, steady approach to managing grief. With plans to own an RV and travel as an unschooling and road schooling family, life is looking good for Lou and her tribe.
