0:00.0	Hi, this is Janet Lansfury. Welcome to Unruffled. This week I'm thrilled to have Laura Grace
0:07.3	Weldon back to discuss how her self-directed free-range learning ideas can benefit children
0:13.5	who do go to traditional schools, like mine did, and we'll be discussing a lot of other
0:18.1	things as well. For those who aren't familiar with her work, Laura Grace Weldon is the author
0:22.8	of Free Range Learning, which is a comprehensive guide for families interested in homeschooling
0:27.9	and unschooling. In our previous podcast together, Laura shared an extremely compelling case for
0:34.6	homeschooling. If you haven't listened to that episode and you're interested in exploring
0:38.9	less conventional schooling possibilities, it's really a must. The title of that podcast is
0:44.1	Adventures in Free Range Learning, and I know you'll be as inspired as I was by Laura's
0:49.6	experiences and discoveries. Her whole journey, it's really incredible, and I believe

1:18.0	or an amusement park, walking the dog, house cleaning, long airplane flights, a night on
1:23.6	the town. All these can cause dehydration, sap our energy, and keep us from feeling our best.
1:29.6	That's why Liquid IV is a smart addition to your daily self-care routine. Liquid IV hydrates
1:36.2	twice as fast as plain water, has more electrolytes than even traditional sports drinks, and five essential
1:42.4	vitamins. It's totally convenient. You can carry Liquid IV sticks in your purse or glove compartment,
1:48.2	and it comes in lots of great tasting flavors, including strawberry lemonade, which is
1:53.5	my favorite. In fact, I've already made two big orders. Non-GMO, gluten soy, and dairy-free
2:00.5	with all natural ingredients. You can grab your Liquid IV in bulk at Costco, or get 20% off
