In this powerful conversation, Julieta Duvall shares how what began as a chaotic homeschooling decision during the pandemic turned into a deep personal reckoning.

This episode goes far beyond curriculum and learning styles. It’s about deconditioning the beliefs we inherited about education, success, and Parenting. It’s about healing ourselves so we don’t pass down what hurt us.
