In a world drowning in data, is the 'big creative idea' for a holiday campaign an endangered species, or is it more critical than ever? Agility requires not just moving fast, but moving with confidence. It's the ability to validate creative instincts with real-world data, ensuring that your biggest bets are also your smartest ones. Today, we're going to talk about the high-stakes world of holiday advertising and the delicate balance between creative magic and data-driven methodology. We’re going to talk about one such campaign for John Lewis, a popular British Department store whose holiday ads are a cultural event in the UK, where the stakes can be high. And they aren’t alone. The holiday season is the equivalent of the Super Bowl for many brands, where a single campaign can define the entire year. Yet, for every heartwarming success story, there are countless others that miss the mark. So how do brands de-risk their biggest creative investments and ensure their message will actually resonate with consumers?

In this episode, I’m joined by Jem from Australia , a homeschooling mom of four navigating autism, ADHD, sensory needs, school refusal, and neurodivergent learning —and doing it all with honesty, humor, and so much heart. Jem shares why her family left the traditional school system, how her kids went from daily meltdowns and sensory overwhelm to peaceful mornings and learning at their own pace, and why unschooling naturally became the approach that finally worked. We talk about: • What homeschooling looks like for autistic and ADHD learners • Why school refusal isn’t “defiance”—it’s dysregulation • The surprising benefits of late-morning starts, slow mornings, and interest-led learning • How volunteering at an animal rescue farm completely changed her daughter’s confidence • Creating sensory-friendly learning spaces at home • Using fidgets, wobble seats, chewing tools, trampolines, and pets for regulation • Transitioning out of curriculum and into a more intuitive, child-led rhythm • How homeschooling reconnects families and helps kids thrive emotionally • The differences between public school vs. homeschool in Australia • What new homeschool parents REALLY need to hear before they begin If you’re parenting a neurodivergent child, exploring unschooling, or wondering whether homeschooling can truly support special needs , this episode will give you encouragement, perspective, and a whole lot of validation. ✨ Connect with Jem: Jem's Facebook Jem's Instagram Leave the Big Box Store!

#147: She Took Her Son Out of School for Two Years… Here’s What Actually Happened 24:38

24:38

In this powerful episode, Cheryl sits down with Anya, a seasoned mom who made the courageous choice to pull her son out of school during a season of deep grief — and discovered that unschooling was the unexpected key to his healing, growth, and confidence. Anya shares how losing her son’s father, navigating the chaos of COVID schooling, and tuning into her child’s emotional needs led her to take full ownership of her family’s educational path. What followed included incredible personal growth, restored mental health, and the realization that children often learn more outside the system than inside it. Together we explore: • How unschooling helped her son recover emotionally and academically • Why children can easily return to public school without “falling behind” • The impact of grief, trauma, and stress on learning • Why emotional intelligence matters more than worksheets • Homeschool myths that keep parents scared • Real-life skills kids actually need (and how school suppresses them) • The hidden pressures on parents from schools, doctors & society • Why confidence, connection, and slow childhood matter more than curriculum If you’re considering homeschooling, curious about unschooling, or questioning the one-size-fits-all school system, this episode will give you permission to trust yourself — and your child — more deeply.

#137: From 'Homeschooled' Movie to Real Life: This Is Kristi's Story 47:50

47:50

What happens when you throw out rigid timelines and arbitrary benchmarks, allowing children to learn at their own pace in ways that honor their unique personalities? Kristi's 11-year homeschooling journey with her three daughters reveals the transformative power of personalized education. When her introverted third-grader with learning difficulties asked to homeschool, Kristi—despite having no prior knowledge of homeschooling—took the leap. Within two years, she brought all three daughters home, discovering that the full benefits came when the entire family shared the same educational approach. This shift opened extraordinary possibilities: four-day school weeks, regular RV camping trips, skiing adventures that started on Thursdays, and meaningful participation in the family's citrus farm. Most remarkably, Kristi's approach to her oldest daughter's learning challenges demonstrates the power of patience and personalization. Working "one to two years behind typical grade level for a very long time" and even repeating ninth grade at the student's request, this daughter eventually caught up naturally. By age 15-16, professional assessments showed she qualified for no learning disorders whatsoever. Today, she attends Concordia University with a substantial academic scholarship. Interest-led learning transformed their homeschool experience. When a child loved horses, they studied equine science for a year. When another was fascinated by birds, they created habitats around their home that now attract unique species their neighbors don't have. Their youngest daughter's inexplicable passion for the Beatles as a preschooler evolved into studying 60s history in ninth grade. As Kristi explains, "I think you get some passionate, extraordinary individuals by really customizing and letting them be interest-led in everything they do." Considering homeschooling? Kristi's advice is refreshingly simple: "Homeschool should and can look different in every single household." You can always return to conventional schooling if needed—they'll take you back.
