Esther Jones is a UK-based mindfulness teacher, deschooling coach and mother of three unschooled children. She is the author of the recently-published The Parent's Handbook to Unschooling Yourself and she hosts the bi-weekly podcast, The Unschool Space, in which she explores the joys and challenges of unschooling with other unschooling parents. Esther works with parents who want to unravel the beliefs and conditioning that hold them back from embracing life in partnership with their children.
Melissa Crockett-Joyoue lives in Aotearoa (New Zealand), is Māori, AuDHD and the mama of two unschooled neurodivergent children. Melissa is the founder of Weave ND, an online membership community dedicated to creating connection and building capacity of the parents in neurodivergent unschooling families. She's passionate about advocating for unschooling as an enriching and potentially life-changing path for families, especially those with neurodivergent kids.
