This week, I'm talking about encouragement. I have two encouragement stories to share with you which I'm hoping you haven't heard before. But if you are familiar with them, will you think, "Sue is getting repetitive"? Will you consider giving my podcast a negative review? I hope not. Instead, maybe you'll offer some feedback.  Do you have any ideas for future episodes of this podcast? What would you like to hear about? Most of my kids are grown up, so often I don't have any current unschooling news to share with you, (unless, of course, you're interested in hearing about my unschool learning). Over the years, I have explored a lot of unschooling topics multiple times, and sometimes it seems like I have said everything possible. Could it be time to pack up my mic? Move on and do something else? I'd love to hear your thoughts. I know they will be kind and encouraging!    Episode Details 0:00 intro 1:53 discouraging words and negative podcast reviews 3:46 Crushed by a Label 11:11 story comments 13:07 Encouraging Each Other to Do Difficult Things  16:08 How I Became a Runner 24:46 what I learnt from my running adventure  33:01 other encouraging stories  33:53 I’d love to hear your thoughts! 34:42 Summit interviews worth watching  38:17 unschooling: something worth hearing about  38:55 an encouraging unschooling community  39:48 thank you for listening!   Show Notes Blog Post Encouraging Each Other to Do Difficult Things    The Homeschooling Global Summit The Homeschooling Global Summit My 2020 Summit interview   My Unschooling Books Curious Unschoolers: Kindle Curious Unschoolers: paperback Radical Unschool Love: Kindle Radical Unschool Love: paperback My Amazon Author Page     Where You Can Find Me My Stories of an Unschooling Family community Youtube Sue Elvis Blogs Stories of an Unschooling Family Where the Carol Birds Sing   Thank you for listening to this episode.
