Expats Homeschooling In Italy, Part 1 | Episode 320

Podcast

In this episode, we talk with Nicole Brignolle, a former New Yorker now homeschooling in rural Tuscany. Her family’s unexpected relocation led to a refreshing shift away from over-scheduled days and performance-based learning. They found freedom in using our literature-based approach by prioritizing margin, creativity, and following the Holy Spirit’s guidance. This episode is filled with helpful mindset shifts around your homeschool and your priorities. Plus, you’ll hear plenty of encouragement from your family without having to move to a foreign country!

In this episode, you will hear about:

How moving from a busy city to the quiet countryside transformed our family’s homeschool and home life
Why more activities and opportunities don’t always lead to deeper learning or stronger family relationships
The freedom that comes from letting go of comparison and creating a unique family culture instead
How margin, quiet, and unhurried days give children space to grow in curiosity, creativity, and delight
The beauty of following your children’s interests and allowing learning to unfold naturally through everyday life and conversation
