Ep. 44 Building a Life of Conscious Travel with Nicky and Davone Prince
Is it possible to live rent free and travel the country on a bus with kids?!
Nicky and Davone Prince think so and they are showing us how to live a life of conscious travel with joy, an abundance mindset, and fun!
The Prince family is back to share what they have been up to since their first episode aired over 2 years ago! (To listen to their first time on the podcast look for Episode 19).
Nicky and Davone's zeal for life is infectious. It’s simply impossible not to feel energized and positive after spending time in their orbit.
Enjoy this fun-loving and free-spirited conversation that covers a lot of ground, including a potential title for a book, "Notes on Napkins with Nerds" (HA!!)
In this episode, we talk about:
their favorite states so far,
the state of America’s roads (lol),
their new YouTube channel (has now surpassed 1000 subscribers!)
how their support of their children’s self-directed learning impacts them as adults to pursue their own interests,
intentional family time,
leading our kids by example,
staying positive despite challenges on the roads,
making a conscious choice to be grateful,
creating “family” on the road,
supporting one another and extended family as a foundational family value,
working while traveling,
living rent free and visiting Skooliepalooza in Arizona,
keeping track of their travel—Nicky’s addiction to note making, 😊
their goals to visit all 50 states and a country on every continent!
how homeschooling has impacted the way they parent,
parenting with awareness and being considerate of our children’s different developmental needs
embracing the fun of the early years and playing with our kids
Davone’s definition of a “nerd” (you need to listen to find out!)
communicating with our kids and sharing our reasons for our decisions
the impact of a Dad’s presence as a homeschooling family
And a forthcoming bus renovation!

Ep. 42 Raising Critical Thinkers with Julie Bogart
Julie Bogart is an author, podcaster, mother of 5 children, and the founder of Brave Writer, which has been supporting, encouraging, and inspiring homeschool families for years!
I have been following Julie’s work for a long time and find myself regularly impressed with her level-headed approach to learning, parenting, and thinking. And I'm so glad we got to talk about all these things plus her wonderful book, Raising Critical Thinkers: A Parent's Guide to Growing Wise Kids in the Digital Age.
In this episode we discuss:
Julie's upbringing, school experiences, and how the Internet has changed since she was raising kids
how homeschooling became a part of her life
listening to our kids and embracing their dissent
considerations for technology use, algorithms, and being online
how the different generations view authority
the lens (and levels) to learning and mastery: Reading, Experiencing, and Encountering
paying attention to our attachment to certainty
considerations for making decisions
how school taught us to believe in "one" right answer
and more!
I hope you'll tune into this fabulous episode and let us know what resonated with you.
