Episode #12 - with Alison Sauer

In this episode I speak with Alison Sauer about home education. Alison and I explore why people choose to home educate their children, what other factors may lead to home education and the opportunities available to home educated children.  Alison addresses misconceptions about home educated children's access to higher education and professional pathways.  Alison emphasises that home education does not limit opportunities, and discusses the various ways students can gain admission into universities, including A levels and other qualifications. We also discuss the various serious concerns and shortcomings of the Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill and the creation of digital ID for children (through the back door).  Alison also explains the ways in which people can oppose the bill.   Alison provides details of how and where families that home educate can reach out for support and guidance for home education.  Links: Home Education Alliance Substack https://homeeducationaction.substack.com/ [https://homeeducationaction.substack.com/] Home Education Action Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/homeeducationactiongroup [https://www.facebook.com/groups/homeeducationactiongroup] Joy Baker Page https://www.facebook.com/JoyBakerDa [https://www.facebook.com/JoyBakerDay]y Stop the Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill page https://www.facebook.com/stopthecwsbill [https://www.facebook.com/stopthecwsbill] Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill petition: https://c.org/pkgYSrCdz7   1st December in person gathering https://www.facebook.com/events/3044479512418515 [https://www.facebook.com/events/3044479512418515] News about the petition (1st Dec Debate) https://www.facebook.com/stopthecwsbill/posts/pfbid02yaZPzSeU9McRe1GMKbssxNK17Bk4HowbaBoYjxeRK7kWvoriJ1bKQzN9GAJEVpxAl [https://www.facebook.com/stopthecwsbill/posts/pfbid02yaZPzSeU9McRe1GMKbssxNK17Bk4HowbaBoYjxeRK7kWvoriJ1bKQzN9GAJEVpxAl] 17th January March and Rally  https://www.facebook.com/events/1112084017244494 [https://www.facebook.com/events/1112084017244494] Funding info for Rally https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=1758461648326101&set=g.359083995388621 [https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=1758461648326101&set=g.359083995388621] National Home Education Support Groups: Education Otherwise https://www.educationotherwise.org/ [https://www.educationotherwise.org/] Educational Freedom https://educationalfreedom.org.uk/ [https://educationalfreedom.org.uk/] Enjoy!  Bill Instagram - @move_the_dirt YouTube: @move_the_dirt  ------------------ DISCLAMER ------------------ THE INFORMATION IN THIS PODCAST IS FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY.  IT IS NOT INTENDED TO PROVIDE MEDICAL, LEGAL OR ANY OTHER TYPE OF PROFESSIONAL ADVICE.  YOU SHOULD ALWAYS SEEK PROFESSIONAL ADVICE FROM AN APPROPRIATELY QUALIFIED AND EXPERIENCED PROFESSIONAL.  Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2461410/fan_mail/new]

Episode #9 - with Kelsey Buchalter

In this episode I speak with Kelsey Buchalter. In this conversation, Kelsey shares her personal journey through anxiety, bulimia, and anorexia, detailing the early signs of her struggles and the complex relationship between anxiety and eating disorders. She discusses the impact of these disorders on her life and relationships, the role of antidepressants in her recovery, and the importance of nutrition in mental health. Kelsey emphasises the need for passion and purpose in recovery and offers actionable advice for those struggling with similar issues, as well as for their loved ones. She concludes by sharing her current work in nutrition and her aspirations to help others on their healing journeys. Since the tender age of just 3 years old, Kelsey recalls a crippling feeling of anxiety in her life.  This latter manifested into bulimia and anorexia.  Despite being hospitalised several times and at one point only weighing 24KG, Kelsey fought back.  She rediscovered her purpose in life and found the courage to take the first steps to recovery.  Having now come out the other side; and having qualified as a Nutrition Network Nutrition Coach, Kelsey now helps others to recover and live the lives they are capable of living!
