    Lots of positivity
    Just starting our homeschooling journey and there is so much out there that it can be overwhelming! When I feel overwhelmed by everything I love listening to this podcast and all the positive energy and information that it provides! I love hearing from fellow mamas about their ups and downs and everything in between! Thank you so much for putting all the positivity out there! ❤️

    Sharing of diverse thoughts
    Miss you guys!! Original review: This podcast has been a God-send. It has been difficult as I have tried to educate myself about homeschooling to not become overwhelmed, and this podcast has been such an encouragement to trust my own instinctive ability to love, nurture, and educate my children. I am sharing these episodes with my friends, and so grateful for the content!

    Life Changing!
    This podcast, coupled with Ainsley’s book, have given me the encouragement to take the leap in to a homeschool life. Specifically a “Wild + Free” homeschool life. I love, love, LOVE hearing wisdom from so many amazing women. Keep it up!

    Favorite Homeschool Podcast
    So informative, real, and breathtakingly beautiful! The hosts and guests always have such a gorgeous vocabulary and way with words. Speaks to my Mama heart and makes me relish and soak in every single minute of every episode! I thank Wild + Free community for posting these gems of episodes for the world to access for free!

    Good podcast but doesn’t even start for several minutes.
    I really like this podcast BUT it makes me crazy when I listen to a few in a row and the first TEN a minutes of each is the same talking, advertising, free bundles, etc. I understand some of that has to happen, that’s fine, but this podcast is almost as much “fluff” as actual conversation and I often find myself skipping through a lot of it.

    I love this podcast
    I love this podcast! It’s always so encouraging and makes me feel more confident in the desire and call to raise my daughters naturally. Thank you!!

    Wish this was around
    When my kids were younger. I feel I did so much wrong, but one in the military (we are in Taiwan), one in sophomore music major at college, 12th and 8th graders...3rd grader at small country school. So happy for these next generations, but wow!!! So much I wish I did! Keep helping unschoolers!

    Consistently
    I really enjoy this podcast and the way W&F encourages homeschoolers. Jennifer Pepito is awesome at engaging the guest and I love hearing her perspective as well. It almost feels as if I’m eavesdropping on a coffee shop conversation between friends. I do feel let down by how inconsistent the podcast is though. It seems they only release new content when they are trying to sell something or raise funds. I don’t mind the peddling as I understand making a living but it feels inauthentic when episodes are so sporadic and seem to air only when a product or event is being marketed.

    New favorite podcast
    I just found this podcast and I love it! I’ve been implementing some things they’ve said, and life with 4 kids, 6 and under, has been so enjoyable, relaxing and memorable. I’ve been playing more with the kids, reading an hour every day and spending hours outside together. Love getting out of the “homeschool routine” that I was stuck in and finding that we can learn outside of textbooks! Thank you for the encouragement! I started at Episode 1 and look forward to listening through them all, currently at episode 10 :)

    Beautiful:)
    This podcast is amazing, inspiring and soothing to listen to. I am not a homeschool mama...yet..but I work very closely with kids and I find this podcast super helpful! I love it so much, it also makes me look forward to when I have my own kids and can homeschool them!

    Why so little podcasts now?

    Wow! Thank you for sharing this!!! I teared up by minute 2!
  • Divamare
    With some modifications this very good podcast could be great
    I’ve listened for about 3 months now and really feel this podcast is well organized and the topics thoughtfully curated. The interviews, while inspiring, seem to lean slightly more towards addressing an audience that is more than typically anxious, overwhelmed, or defeated. While I get homeschooling the wild and free way is an act of courage, maybe keep the references to fear, struggling, or self-defeat to a minimum. Also, consider having more than one interviewer. Finally, I would love to hear diverse perspectives regarding wild and free lifestyles that include more cultures and socio-economic contexts beyond Western, or Christian, or Farmhouse culture. Otherwise, this is truly one of my favorite podcasts and I never get tired of listening!

    Life giving
    I’ve listened for the past 3 years now and I’ve never made it through a single episode without tearing up 😭 It is truly life giving. I recommend wild + free to every momma! I’m so thankful to be poured into by these wise women paving the way! Thank you for this resource!

    Don’t Rush Reading
    Thank you so much for the last podcast. I have listened to Wild+Free for about two years and it has changed my homeschool way of life so much. I too changed my whole outlook on reading a while back and my daughter has flourished. I quit trying to check off boxes and watched her learn how to read all on her own. We had always read out loud since my daughter came (we adopted her) but I didn’t see the benefits of that until it just clicked in her brain. She too reads at an advanced level and I had nothing to do with teaching her that. We just read and read together. So refreshing.

    Encouragement for every mom
    Absolutely love the voices, Perspective, and encouragement found on this podcast. A countercultural message away from the typical striving and anxiety of the traditional school system through the beauty and simplicity of homeschooling in the modern world.
  • Lizdwelley
    Are they coming back?
    Loved listening to these, but curious if they will continue?

    Most Encouraging and Freeing Podcast
    This podcast has encouraged me and my family in our homeschool life SO much! W+F has brought adventure, friendship and bravery to our lifestyle as homeschoolers that I had been trying to find. The stories shared are practical, love able and much needed to for the modern Mama. Thank you!

    Embracing your kids!!!
    This podcast is such an encouragement to embrace and encourage owning who you and your children are and what school needs to look like for them. Excited for the school year ahead!
  • HannahMagnuson
    Wonderful!
    I found this podcast a year ago when I was first embarking on my homeschool research, trying to wrap my mind around the endless options and methods I was so concerned homeschooling was too complicated for a simplistic mama like me, wow this podcast was my beacon home. These women are relatable, real, uplifting and so full of love. It’s a wonderful space that led me to the website where I became a member and receive their amazing content bundles and to a local wild+free mama group! If you’re searching for your tribe, it’s here. Welcome home!

    So helpful during this quarantine season
    As a mostly stay at home mama of three little ones - the oldest of whom is preschool-aged - I’m probably jumping the gun a bit on learning about homeschooling. ;) But ever since learning about wild and free, I’m so intrigued. I can’t stop listening and feel like each episode equips and inspires me, not just for future home educating, but for right now, especially in this pandemic. We’re spending lots of time at home, playing outside, gardening... and I’m seeing my kids and the world with fresh eyes because of this content. Thank you.
  • Mamabrookidy
    Transformed my homeschooling life
    I fell I love with Wild +Free when I first discovered it and it really helped shape how I look at homeschooling, learning and parenting. I am so grateful to all the people that have shared their wisdom and are helping to guide others find their way.

    My Weekly Schooling Refresh
    Hearing other mommas stories, struggles and truths is wonderful. I like the honesty. The encouragement. The adventure. I always smile ear to ear when a new podcast is uploaded as it’s a gentle reminder of a community of support around the world! Keep up the good work!!
  • Sarahinphilly
    Disappointed
    This podcast is frustratingly full of platitudes and vague statements. The hosts seem very fake to me and their lives seem to revolve around making covetable instagrams.
  • ChloeGraceXoX
    So good!!
    I always feel refreshed, encouraged, & understood in one way or another after listening to these episodes. So thankful for a community & resource such as this 💗

This is year two and I go back an repeat these podcasts all the time for the encouragement and reminder that I need to keep moving in the right direction for our family. Very grateful for this community an everything they have shared and continue to.
  • PurpleGlory1215
    A wealth of encouragement and information
    I love this podcast! It has the exact right thing that I need when I’m having a rough day in my homeschool with my kids. I always take away wisdom from every single episode. The topics are relevant and engaging. I’ve also picked up multiple practical tips. Thank you Wild + Free! Because of you, I know I am NOT alone.

    Perfect Balance!
    While rigorously studying the Charlotte Mason method, I was on the path to becoming a “purist” without even realizing it. While this is perfectly fine for some homeschool families, it began to feel like a standard I personally couldn’t achieve on a consistent basis. As a result, I felt guilty most days for what I perceived as failure. This podcast has given me the balance that I needed, granting me “permission” to simply live out our school days learning in a way that is natural for our family. Some days the “method” is thrown out the window, but that’s ok! Through this podcast I have come to realize I don’t want to create geniuses according to the world’s standards. What I want is for them to have a happy childhood, to grow up loving God, appreciate the beautiful handiwork of His creation, and never stop learning!

    Get Ready To Cry
    I look forward to every single episode that comes out and it’s like salve to my mama heart. The way these women build us and one another up in this beautiful calling of motherhood and homeschooling just makes me so thankful and I literally tear up and stop what I’m doing (usually cleaning) at just about every episode at some point. THANK YOU LADIES for all the work you put in to W+F, it’s impacting so so many of us💜
  • northstarmama
    Encouragement and inspiration
    You know that friend that when you are struggling, they just really get you and know exactly how to encourage you where you are at and inspire you to something more? It’s that feeling of being known, but not stuck. That’s the same feeling I get every time I listen to this podcast. It’s been a huge encouragement as I start this homeschool journey!
  • Walkingstyck
    Refreshing

  • Whitecarnationmontessori
    I love the spirit behind this podcast
    I’m so excited for new podcast episodes, this is one of my favorite podcast. I love hearing the other moms sharing their wild+free lifestyles. Very inspiring to homeschooling moms, but all moms in general who want a true childhood for their children.

    Just check it out!!!!
    Between this podcast, the Wild + Free book, and the homeschool sisters podcast, I found the inspiration and the motivation to fulfill my dream of homeschooling my children. These podcasts are amazing!!! The women are so down to earth and real. I feel like I have really found my tribe! If you’re not sure if this podcast is for you, just give it a chance! I absolutely LIVE all of the W+F content!!!

    Like a present packaged up and tied with a bow
    This podcast is such a mix of inspiration, encouragement, new ideas, things to think about, a fresh perspective, laughter, and its lovely to listen to.
  • Tanyaboise
    Just what I need when I need a push in the right direction
    I have to say, I am not a huge podcast fan but this one is changing my mind. I have binge listened to all the episodes over several weeks and now I am on fire for this homeschooling journey our family is on! I am not new to it, but I am definitely still figuring out my approach and reassessing my goals each year. This podcast has shifted my perspective so much and I’m so excited to implement the nuggets I've gotten out of it. Please keep making more, I love the conversational style. Now I just need to start listening with a notepad and taking notes!

    I’m so grateful to the message of Wild and Free as a new homeschool mom. It is helping me start out gently, not be so overwhelmed and trust my instincts.
  • EmilyDonald
    Easy listening
    I love this podcast! From the soft spoken women to the constant reminders to slow down and enjoy my children’s childhood, I have thoroughly enjoyed listening! When I first became a Wild + Free mama I binged the episodes like a Netflix show! Can’t wait for more content!
  • Farmgirl Mama
    So Gooooood!

    I have listened to every single one of the Wild + Free podcast multiple times over. They are overflowing with wisdom, encouragement, truth, beauty, and practical applicable advice. I reference them regularly when I am in need of encouragement or a reminder of my why. Wild + Free is a movement I’m so thankful to be a small part of! Thank you for all you’ve built, I’m so grateful to you!
