    Episode 1: Welcome to Life Without a Filter!

    When the school bus stops coming, what happens next?  Let's talk about the fears, questions, and realities families face the day public education ends. Welcome to Episode 1 of Life Without a Filter!  In this episode, you will hear a bit about our family and the decision we made when our son, L, finished his public school education. Join us for future episodes as we take deep dives into what a self-direction program is, what I need to do to make it work, and hear from other families that are currently thriving in navigating this program model.
