In this episode, I finish my prior interview with world traveling woman/worldschooling momma, Lainie Liberti. She's taken the daring path of listening to her inner voice to leave the conventional way of raising a kiddo and traded that for taking her son around the world as a means of learning. There are a million good ways to parent and learn. You'll love hearing this episode (part 2 of 2).  Find out more about Lainie and her wordschooling resources at her website: www.raisingmiro.com (Music: www.bensound.com)   00:00: Opening   Preparing for Life via the Experience of Travel What he’s really learned is how to problem solve - how to advocate for himself - teamwork - responsibility. Not because these were lessons that we created and said ‘here open up a workbook and figure this out’ it’s because those are the lessons of real life and they were in context. - Lainie There’s arts, culture language learning. There's geology, geography, agriculture. Astronomy. Everything is interwoven and tied into the experiences were having as we're exploring new cultures. - Lainie Context is what anchors the learning into a child. Let me be immersed in the experience and I will absorb it. -Stacey What It’s like Being in Other Cultures (Hint: It Starts in the Home) A lot of the fear based programming are not a part of our realities anymore. The moment that we started to connect to people, loosen our grip, look people in the eye and smiling and connect, and even though we don't speak the same language were both human. We both want the same things we both want happiness and health. That kind of understanding broke down those ideas, fear, the programming that was not my messages or words. I eventually felt that people everywhere were just like me. We had more in common than we had differences. - lAINIE Personal Experiences and Stories of Human Kindness - Conversations with Syrian Refugee, a Jehovah's Missionary, and an Ex Prisoner When you have to bring healing to someone in your family that's had a negative experience - to help them not to judge ALL by then ONE (and still validate the negativity of that experience and help them walk through) it confronts that thing inside us that goes wow - I had a negative experience and that's caused me to label a whole certain group of people this way and now im confronted to examine that too as I help my son to examine that as well. - Stacey Just because you had a negative experience - there’s an important moment to rest yourself and still be open to the goodness that's possible in the next experience. - Stacey The world is made of individual and we always must keep our eye on hat. People do good things and people do bad things - doesn't mean that cultures are good or cultures are bad, doesn't mean that people are good or people are bad - its the actions that were responding to. We need to keep this perspective straight and not so easily fall into racism, or anything else that is damaging to our humanity.  - Lainie When we judge against a culture or whole people group we then close ourselves to the goodness that exists in the people from that place or culture. - Stacey Fostering Independence with the Partnership Paradigm We function on a basis on consensus. The first step of learning independence and experiencing independence is learning how to advocate for yourself. And underst that when you're advocating for yourself there is a consideration of how that affects the whole community. - Lainie Advice to the Person That Wants to Begin (Hint: It Starts in the Home) It’s very easy to maintain the drudgery of your day to day life. I read a quote recently that really spoke to me: “Travel is the adventure that takes the taste of bitterness out of your soul.” I know that sometimes a good by product of a traveling experience is that it can bring about a healing and a joy and a revitalization of what you're here to do and what's truly important. - Stacey Tapping the Humanitarian in Lainie - The Cult of Scarcity We tend to live with this idea that there is not enough. That there is scarcity. That we have to work harder to get what's ours because somebody next to us may take it. That is what drives us from not being present in our own lives. The idea that there’s not enough creates more fear. It separates us from the needs and preferences. If we realize that we do have enough, that there IS enough, that what we have is just perfect for this moment, it’ll stop that cult of scarcity. It'll stop us from being separated from one another. Separation is the problem. - Lainie   Probably the greatest illusion that we have in our society and humanity is that were separated, when were really together. Were really united by some divine and universal thread. - Stacey   The shift is becoming in service to others. That’s the remedy. - Lainie How to find Lainie:   Raising Miro on the Road of Life Global Education through World Travel http://www.raisingmiro.com   Project World School Inspiring Temporary Learning Communities for Teens & Young Adults Check out the 2017 Schedule Now! http://ProjectWorldSchool.com   Watch our TEDx talk called Making The World Our Classroom   For the Love of Learning - Voices of the Alternative Education Movement Host- Weekly talk show broadcasting on CCN Monday 8-10pm EST http://ForTheLoveofLearningShow.com

Show Notes: Worldschooling: The Unconventional Classroom   In this episode, I get to introduce you to world traveling woman/worldschooling momma, Lainie Liberti. She's taken the daring path of listening to her inner voice to leave the conventional way of raising a kiddo and traded that for taking her son around the world as a means of learning. There are a million good ways to parent and learn. You'll love hearing this episode (part 1 of 2).  Find out more about Lainie and her wordschooling resources at her website: www.raisingmiro.com   (Music: www.bensound.com) 00:00: Opening   00:40 Story behind Our Magical Healing Adventure and meeting Lainie I went through weeks of really intense  anger. And I felt like I can’t sustain this emotion. What am I going to do? And my brain was like you need to use this. You need to do what you’ve done with every other challenge in your life. You need to use it and make it work for you. - Stacey 7:00 - World Schoolers 8:30 - Introduction to Lainie Liberti, Co Founder of World Schooling   Lainie Liberti, a mom and recovering branding expert (whose 18 year career once focused on creating campaigns for green – eco businesses, nonprofits and conscious businesses) and her now 18-year-old son Miro Siegel, set out 8 years ago on what became a life changing journey. (That eventually became World Schooling)   10:05 - Bravery and Fear   “I don’t know if I actually consider myself a brave person. I  just consider myself as somebody who is capable and willing to listen to my intuition and inspiration at the same time.” -Lainie   The ability to say: Why do we have to do things this way, why do I have to live my life in this way? Became a habit that I lived. One of the things that I help empower people to find is the empowerment inside of themselves to have, not only freedom, but confidence to question things. - Lainie   In some ways it does require a certain bravery to listen to yourself in a culture that is trying to have you anesthetized to your inner inklings so you can keep the mill going, keep with the flow. - Stacey   17:00 On Criticism and finding the gift within   Instead of giving in to these sorts of criticisms I just listened and nodded my head and thanked everybody for their input. I let them know I would do my best to try and integrate their concerns into our travel and ask them if they could wish us well. Instead of battle, this seemed like the best approach. - Lainie   “A man with an experience is not at the mercy of a man with an argument”. - Leanord Ravenhill   It’s ok to love people and not be in a relationship with them. - Laine   24:00 A brief history of World Schooling   The vision that I had and the inspiration has grown. So I don’t feel like I’m out there alone anymore. I’m about there with 34000 of my best friends now. -Lainie   Risking Adventure is a high value of mine and a phrase I use all the time from a Philosopher named Edmund Friedman. He said that the mind can only conceive certain things. It can only imagine so far. Once you risk adventure then what happens is the brain opens up in ways that it couldn't by only imagining. Then a whole other world of options and possibilities opens up to us. - Stacey   28:00 Challenges: Anticipated & Actual   “One of the things I had to really address was my addiction to being busy and my addiction to being productive. I realized underneath was the thought that I am worthless unless I am producing something of value. It’ ok to actually just be.” Lainie   The quiet became so loud that I was actually able to hear the crazy conversation in my head. I went on a journey to go on a practice of stillness, because I got called to rest. It was so provoking to my brain. It can hit our identity vs our role and how in society we so confuse those. We confuse who we are with what we do. Then when you go to an area where there is more space more quiet and more time, for me, it really provoked so many questions and it brought up so many voices that I think I couldn’t hear because i was in such a busy stream that the noise of my life drowned out the beliefs that were driving me. - Stacey   Presence is so important. Worldschooling and travel was my vehicle to find it. But it doesn't have to be yours. - Lainie   It was the small moments that changes. The nuanced moments that we consider most special out of our journey together. - Lainie 36:30 Benefits: Expected & Actual   I had this belief that education was something only somebody else could give us. I believed I wasn't qualified to educate my child.   Then I discovered unschooling   (Benefit) My shift in my relationship to the idea of education. I started to realize that what we were doing was learning, gaining more information, being engaged, being present, and learning that was education. And that worked for me. My whole world changed and the expectations lead us to new expectations. Those expectations opened up new avenues, new doors, and new ways of understanding, and new ways of being. That was the true gift. - Lainie   To Be Continued in Part 2 of the interview with Lainie Liberti...

What an honor to have as our guests this week: Lainie and Miro from "Raising Miro"! This single mother and son have been adventuring and traveling throughout the Western Hemisphere for the past 5 years in a lifestyle they call: slow-travel.
