The Companion Course • IN THE ZONE WITH YOUR CHILD
A 20-Week Guided Expedition 🥾✨ Back to You & the Child Beside You
In a world full of ideas about who you should be,
dare to discover who you are,
and what keeps your spark alive. ✨
History. Math. Chemistry. How to read and write. How the world works.
And then a thousand other things.
How to fit in.
How to stand out.
How to succeed.
How to belong.
How to make your way through the world.
But when you only learn about the world outside of you, you can lose touch with yourself:
your sense of meaning and purpose,
your sense of what makes life worth getting up for.
This Expedition 🥾✨ helps you study one of the most important subjects of all:
You. ✨
Where do you come alive?
What genuinely interests you?
Where are you already creative?
How do you learn?
What do you need?
Where do you feel at home in your life?
These are the questions we'll explore.
growing up not only learning about numbers and words,
nature and culture,
but learning about themselves. 🥾✨
Finding out what they need.
What fascinates them.
How they learn best.
What brings them alive. ✨
Imagine that openness towards themselves
growing alongside their knowledge of the world.
What you choose.
What you pursue.
What you say yes to.
What you say no to.
How you spend your life.
Knowing yourself is the difference between living someone else’s story
and creating your own.
Not the kind you have to believe in.
The kind you begin to notice.
✨
A moment when you lose yourself in something you love.
A peculiar way you do something that is entirely your own.
A need you finally recognize.
A place where you feel home.
✨
Small discoveries that begin to reveal something much bigger:
the Whole of You
the living, learning human that you are.
✨
And as you lovingly turn towards yourself,
something opens between you and the Child beside you.
A new way of seeing,
A new way of being together. ✨
You’ll be invited to get curious about it, rather than push through it.
Sometimes resistance is your Sacred No:
Not this.
Not now.
Not for me.
And sometimes, a No is worth exploring.
What happens when you gently move beyond it?
Which No softens, and which becomes clearer?
Little by little, you discover the edges of your soul.
Your healthy boundaries.
Your Sacred No.
Not an ideal version of you.
Not the child someone says should be there.
Both of you, not a problem to be solved.
A mystery unfolding. ✨
This is the expedition.
Becoming the grown-up you always needed,
beside the child who is becoming who they are. ✨
Travel on your own. ✨ Or with a Child beside you.
✨ Parents. Grandparents. Playful aunties. Kind uncles.
✨ Teachers. Homeschoolers. Educators.
✨ Grown-ups looking for more meaning and purpose, and the real joy of learning.
✨ Grown-ups discovering their genuine needs and healthy boundaries.
✨And Grown-ups who want the Child beside them to discover these things, too.

20-week Guided Expedition Back to You & the Child Beside You
Five minutes a week.
No homework. Nothing to prepare.
Your life with children becomes the Expedition.
Hello! I'm Carmen. Your guide on this expedition.
One day, in my early 20s, while watching children completely absorbed in what they loved, I began finding my way back.
Children became my greatest teachers.
Now it would be my greatest joy to walk a stretch of your expedition with you.
Let's create a little more beauty.
A little more play.
A little more wonder.
A little more love.
For ourselves.
And for the children in our lives.
I'd love to meet you around the campfire.
❤️ Carmen
