In today's episode of the Peaceful Worldschooling Podcast, I have the privilege and honor of introducing you to Serena Sutterfield. Serena is the founder of the life coaching business, Vertical First. It is her goal to open the 4th quadrant of knowledge to others - we don't know what we don't know. Maintaining a certain level of curiosity and questioning of the world around us is essential to not only our survival but to our peace and contentment as well. Serena has helped women to come out of darkness and into the light, opening their minds to the possibilities that their worlds too can be beautiful and curated. And she also has the privilege of doing the same for her 3 children as she is raising them as free and faithful unschoolers.

Serena shares honestly about her journey into unschooling beginning with how she first discovered unschooling and now what life is like as unschooling Christian family.
