Welcome Back Julie! Plus Lessons from Spain

Brave Writer Podcast

The sound of Moroccan Arabic, the smell of dried buffalo chips, the taste of sugary mint tea, the view of an open prairie—on today’s podcast we reflect on immersive learning experiences and how education becomes a part of a person for the rest of their life.

Julie is back from her trip to Europe, having spent a significant amount of her time in Spain. Always the homeschooler, she describes events on her journey that illuminated the true meaning of learning and teaching. We then discuss the joy that comes from being a lifelong learner alongside adult kids.

As the academic new year begins, fall back in love with education!

Show Notes

Adult Homeschooled Kids

The joy of homeschooling your kids, guiding them through self-empowering learning, doesn’t stop when they graduate. It continues throughout your adult relationships with them. As adults, they teach you new things and make you grow through new perspectives. You can continue to enjoy immersive learning experiences with them, no matter their age.

Immersive Learning on a Budget

Trips to Europe might be wonderful once your homeschooled kids are adults themselves, but often money is tight when they are little. Don’t worry, you can still give your young kids immersive experiences on a budget.

  • Take them to cultural festivals in your city,
  • teach them to soak in paintings at a museum,
  • and cook different cuisines.

It might be tempting to skip experiences like these for more formal coursework. But remember: immersive experiences are what makes learning really really “stick.”  

As the new academic calendar starts, we wish you all the joy and wonder that comes with learning alongside your kids.
