creative coaching for unschooling + homeschooling teens
virtually meet in a small peer group weekly throughout the fall 2025 semester for facilitated support in connecting to your passions, growing skills, and reaching your goals and dreams
peer group coaching
overview of creative coaching
i love working with teens and believe in their wisdom and brilliance. in this semester-long course that meets weekly, you’ll work with hannah within a small peer group to deeply explore your passions on your own terms. you don’t need people telling you what to do, you need folks who will lovingly hold you accountable to your heart, helping you stay motivated and inspired. through our partnership, i’ll support you in:
trusting your inner knowing of who you are and what you are most passionate about right now
relinquishing feelings of “imposter syndrome,” trusting that consistent practice creates the pathway
honing your broader interests, passions, and ideas into actionable project plans
developing a personal vision statement, as well as small and large goals and step-by-step plans for ushering your idea(s) into the world
developing reflection practices around what is and isn’t working, failure and redirection, motivation and distraction, as well as making creative adaptations as needed
redefining failure as a key learning tool (failure lets us know we are taking risks beyond our comfort zone! that’s good!)
being accountable to following through and shifting plans when needed
giving and receiving kind, constructive, supportive feedback
growing meaningful ways of sharing your passions and interests with others
developing portfolios (including homeschool portfolios) and other avenues for showcasing projects
understanding homeschooling requirements for graduation and how your projects and ideas can help you reach graduation
we will also practice countless skills around research, reading, writing, listening, speaking, and design– they’ll happen authentically, embedded into the activities we do together
What’s included?
beginning of the year virtual 1-1 session: 1-1 virtual meeting with hannah for initial relationship building and bigger picture goal setting/reflection. teens will bring a vision board to this meeting that they create based on the prompt hannah provides.
weekly virtual sessions: meet weekly for 2 hours in a small peer group for community building, peer/facilitator partnership, and to actualize your personal visions and dreams through the consistent practice of agile learning cycles of
setting intentions: defining your goals and turning your visions into actionable plans
creation: taking action on your goals through research, practice, experimentation, and exploration
reflection: learning from the practices and processes of creation to determine what is and is not working well to guide setting new intentions
sharing: sharing your experience with others for feedback and to solidify your learning
unlimited email support between coaching sessions (24-48 hour response time)
end of session: participate in sharing one project at our end of semester virtual showcase (you’ll meet with hannah 1-1 in the two weeks prior to any support needed) + you’ll receive certificate of completion for homeschool portfolio purposes
discount on end-of-year homeschool evaluation

review
“Hannah is a fantastic creative coach and supported me in the process of creating my most recent video for the Ubuntu Climate Arts and Storytelling Showcase. Hannah helped me to clarify my vision and distill the most important learnings from years of experience as a nomad living on public wilderness lands and years as an environmental organizer in the city. Whenever I experienced a creative block, Hannah listened intently reflecting back and uplifting themes and ideas that felt most resonant with the creative vision I expressed. They bring a joyful and encouraging presence that helped my heart's voice and my diverse experience shine through in my video project. Hannah's support strengthened my confidence in sharing my voice and experience more widely. This was my first time submitting to a video competition, and I ended up winning first place in the youth category! ”

active participation is necessary to get the most out of this experience, but i will never force participation. teens will create a vision board, write a vision/mission statement, and they’ll showcase one project/learning at the end-of-semester showcase.

no, you do not need to identify as a creative to join. however, we are all creative beings. choosing what to wear, what to eat, how to spend your time all come from a creative energy.
-
no, you do not need to be homeschooling in order to join creative coaching for teens. i love supporting teens who are engaged in traditional schooling with options for expanding their heart work.
