Alison's long-time friend Simón Lowrie joins the pod to talk about his experience growing up homeschooled with one of his brothers while their older brother was a child prodigy. We discuss both the merits and shortcomings of deciding to homeschool kids.

Alison Cebulla, MPH, is a trauma science and psychological safety educator, founder of Tend Collective, and creator of Kind Warrior. She helps people quit sugar, heal emotional eating, and build resilience. Armed with a wildly expensive Master’s in Public Health from Boston University and a UC Berkeley degree in saving the planet, she’s worked in ecological nonprofits, Fair Trade advocacy, and trauma prevention.
She’s led workshops from Paris to NYC, written for HuffPost, and once got a crowd to reveal their deepest secrets to strangers. A trail-running, meditating, food-growing nomad, she’s been bouncing around Europe and beyond since 2023.
Kind Warrior started in 2012 as a “What if I stopped saying anything mean?” challenge and is now a hub for travel, personal growth, relationships, and resilience. Follow along, take a course, and let’s heal together.
