In this episode I have a very special guest visiting - my friend Maria. Maria is really doing it differently. She is breaking with the status quo, she is all about experiencing life in it´s deepest form - who are we, and what do we actually want from life? And of course these questions lead us to - does education for our kids has to be mainstream?!

Maria, mom of 4, Norway, who lived in Germany, travelled the world, now is living on the Canary Islands, moviemaker, businesswoman, wife, friend, and so much more.

I met Maria in a cave at a wild beach, where we both went “cave-camping” with our kid(s). We instantly bonded, we had some pretty nice days in the sun, we shared a wonderful camping-experience, and talked about everything and beyond. 

"A few years ago we started to question our lives, our believes, the way we live, the way we work, the way we think. So we sold our house in Germany, and we went on a journey with our kids for one year to Asia, to Australia, to New Zealand, and this was a really awesome experience for us, to really trust, trust, that things are gonna be ok. And to learn what feels right for us, and not what´s expected from us from the church or from society or from my family."

In this episode, we talk about expectations, and how the expectations from outside (and sometimes inside), have an actual impact on our lives and well-being. Besides that, Maria tells us, why she wants her kids to go to school, why longterm-homeschooling or unschooling is not the right solution for her family, and why there is no perfect solution - how does the perfect life look like?
