Ever found yourself on the receiving end of parenting advice you didn't ask for, or maybe you've even dished it out without invitation? I've been there, and in today's episode, it's me Nikki and I get real about the complexity of parenting as we wade through a sea of opinions and advice. Listen to my candid reflections on the beautiful mess that is raising children—where my partner Ian and I grapple with blending our distinct parenting styles, and the delicate balance between firmness and fairness becomes our dance floor. This heart-to-heart isn't just about my story; it's an invitation to honor your unique parenting path and to embrace the diversity that makes each family's journey special.
The world is our classroom—quite literally. Our story took a turn towards the extraordinary when we chose to educate our children through the lens of world cultures. As we chronicled our transition from a conventional UK life to globe-trotting with purpose, I peel back the layers of our world-schooling adventure, from Europe to potential horizons in Central America, America, Canada, or Southeast Asia. I open up about the family's collective decision-making and the media's spotlight, which brought both support and scrutiny. Through it all, I celebrate the robust growth and global perspective our children are gaining, making this episode a profound look at how one ordinary family is crafting an exceptional educational tapestry—one country at a time.
