1:1 Coaching for Dads
I’m Jesper Conrad, a father of four and a full-time traveler since 2018. I’ve worked from home for years, balancing family life, entrepreneurship, and intentional parenting—all while exploring the world with my family.
As an experienced unschooling dad, I mentor fathers who are new to homeschooling and unschooling. I’ve walked this path—through the doubts, fears, and societal pressures—and I know what it takes to trust the process.
Parenting is a lifelong learning journey, and by fully committing to it—without outsourcing education or care—I’ve gained a deep perspective on what it means to be truly present as a father. Choosing unschooling and a life of close connection with my children has shaped my understanding of parenting in ways that extend far beyond homeschooling.
I have a grown-up child and three teenagers, and over the years, I’ve experienced the different stages of raising kids in a way that prioritizes trust, curiosity, and mutual respect. No matter how you choose to raise your children, the principles of strong, connected parenting remain the same.
Now, I help dads like you reflect, grow, and strengthen your relationship with your children—whether you homeschool or not.
Who Do You Talk to About Being a Dad? - Who are your role models for fatherhood?
Who do you turn to when you have doubts, fears, or questions about being a dad?
Ideally, that role would be filled by our own fathers. But many of us grew up in a generation where dads didn’t talk about these things.
I believe that needs to change.
That’s why I create spaces where dads can share openly—whether through dad circles, deep conversations, our weekly podcast, or 1:1 coaching. Fatherhood is something we grow into, and the more we share, the more we learn.
Fatherhood isn’t something we’re meant to figure out alone.
I’ve spent years redefining what fatherhood means for me—homeschooling, traveling full-time with my family, and choosing a life based on connection and presence. Along the way, I’ve spoken with incredible people, learned from experts, and, most importantly, kept growing as a dad.
Now, I help other fathers do the same.
Let’s talk.
What I share is not new—I stand on the shoulders of those who have walked this path before me.
We don’t move through life without being influenced. The father I am today has been shaped by many people, but my greatest inspiration is, without a doubt, my wife, Cecilie. She’s the love of my life, an incredible mother, and a trained psychologist with a deep curiosity about parenting and child development. I’ve learned so much from her—and still do.
I also learn through projects, deep conversations, and surrounding myself with those who know more than me. One result of this is Self Directed, a weekly podcast Cecilie and I created to explore life, learning, and raising free thinkers.
My perspective on fatherhood, learning, and family life is deeply influenced by some of the people we have interviewed and their work:
✔ Gordon Neufeld – His work on attachment and development has shaped my understanding of how secure relationships foster resilience and emotional growth in children. 🎙Listen
✔ Darcia Narvaez’s Evolved Nest – A framework that highlights how nurturing, presence, and deep connection create the foundation for a thriving family. 🎙 Listen
✔ Peter Gray’s Research on Play – Learning happens best through curiosity, exploration, and self-directed play—a belief that has guided my parenting and homeschooling approach. 🎙 Listen
Other Influences That Have Shaped My Journey:
Unschooling & Deschooling – Letting go of traditional education and trusting children’s natural ability to learn and grow.
A Question-Everything Mindset – Critically examining cultural expectations, mainstream parenting norms, and the systems we’re conditioned to accept—choosing instead what truly aligns with a connected, conscious family life.
Living Outside the Box – Choosing a life of full-time travel, building an online-based income, and stepping outside the conventional path has shaped me as a father and as a person. Embracing this way of life has taught me that the richest experiences come when we trust ourselves, welcome uncertainty, and fully commit to living on our own terms.
I am grateful for all that I have yet to learn and look forward to sharing what I’ve gathered along this journey we call life.
