Becoming/Unstuck
Becoming/Unstuck tells the stories of internal paradigm shifts. Unsticking from old paradigms is the work of Becoming, or setting ourselves free. The process of Becoming Unstuck is individual, but universal. Everyone has their own story to tell, and this show is the table around which we gather together to share and listen. Here we illuminate that Becoming Unstuck is both journey and destination, process and result, the way Home and Home itself. These stories help us understand that the process of Becoming Unstuck isn't formulaic. It isn't neat and clean. You can't learn it from a book. You have to be willing to get dirty. This kind of education is embodied. It is dynamic and vibrant and messy. This show isn't one in which we cover up that mess because that mess is life, and what we are here to do is learn to live it.

Unschooling & Letting Go of Obedience with Kris Harmelink
Kris Harmelink, I think you'll find, is disarming in the sweetest way with her steady openness and transparency. She has been so committed to thinning the façade between her and the world that at this point, it's almost nonexistent. When you ask Kris a question, she will give you as honest an answer as is possible for her at that moment. I find this a true gift to the world. A lot of problems arise from the dissonance between what we say is true versus what is actually true. We are notoriously terrible self-reporters... this is why everyone's dating app profile is whack.
This episode is the very opposite of that.
I have admired Kris, and the way she interacts with the world, since the very day we met. The way she shares her values with the world - whether through facilitating group process for adults, or fostering children in the pursuit of trusting themselves - is such a gift. In this episode she takes us on a journey from "not mattering" as a child, to hating herself as a young adult, to fostering secure attachment in her 20s. In this episode, hear her talk about the unschooling has happened for her, as well as the unschooling adventure on which she about to take off.
