There’s a lot of misunderstanding around home education. What does it actually look like day to day for your family—and what misconceptions would you love to clear up?

You’ve said your journey wasn’t about ‘knowing better’—just asking better questions. What were some of those early questions, and where did they lead you?

You played a role in advocating for medical cannabis in Guernsey. How did that come about, and what did it show you about the gap between policy and real-life wellbeing?

Many parents feel stuck—caught between a system that doesn’t work and a life they don’t know how to change. What would you say to someone in that place right now?

How do you balance intuition with practicality when it comes to making big family decisions—especially when professionals are telling you to do something else?
