An “unschooling” mother of three from Hawaii who places faith, nature, and the community at the helm is sharing her family’s journey from an abusive past into freedom, and how her kids are thriving by building their character and relationship with God.

Maui, Hawaii, natives Haley Celeste Miller, 31, and her husband, Travis Okano, 32, met at the movie theater at the age of 12 and have been together ever since. Miller is a stay-at-home mom and professional network marketer for Young Living Essential Oils, and Okano is a part-time farmer, part-time landscaper, and part-time as a hotel valet. Their children are Caleb, 11, Nash, 8, and Mila, 4.
