Lainie Liberti | Worldschooling: Parenting & Partnering with Teens

Have you ever considered what your life would look like if you abandoned societal norms and embraced a life of travel and unconventional learning? 

Lainie Liberti, did just that - and her journey will inspire you to reimagine your own path. From changing her name on her 40th birthday to adopting the world schooling lifestyle, Lainies story is a testament to the power of living life on your own terms.

We have known Lainie since before we took our first long road trip. We had a newborn baby and planned to drive through Europe for three months, In a small car with four kids; the youngest was just four months. I remember how insecure we felt, and the need to find like-minded was big - so we were very happy when we got to know Lainie through her first Facebook group - way back when.

The Baby in question, Fjord, is now 11 years old and has been full-time-traveling more than half his life.

Join us as we discuss Lainie’s transition from traditional public school education to a free-flowing learning approach with her son and how her experiences have shaped her parenting and self-discovery journey. 

We delve into the importance of community support in the world schooling movement, sharing insights and advice from our own experiences and those of others in our global network.

But it's not all smooth sailing. We also tackle the tough subject of facing fears and emotions head-on for personal growth. 

Discover how Lainie processes her fears and learns to separate thought from belief using powerful tools like Byron Katie's "The Work." 

Our conversation will reveal how embracing emotions and developing inner strength can ultimately lead to becoming the best possible parent and partner in our children's learning journeys. 

The first time we met Lainie face to face was in 2019 in Granada - a true blessing. Lainie was among those who inspired us to roam the earth. So here she is, and we hope she will inspire you as well :)

If you've ever felt the tug of your inner adventurer, this episode is for you.
