I received this excellent question in my Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/worldschoolfamily) DM "How do you decide which scientific research to listen to?

In this episode, we philosophize (are you surprised?) about observations we've been making for the past decade or more as we've read, studied, and traveled to 50+ countries. It's kind of like putting together a puzzle. You take one piece after another and see where they fit and little by…
"My kids are having a hard time adjusting to _______ (moving, traveling, homeschooling, divorce, death, etc). How can I help them?" We've received a question like this dozens of times over the years.

As we record this we're sitting in an Airbnb in Tangier, Morocco, living yet *another* of our family's dreams -- to road trip from Portugal to Morocco. Before this trip is over we'll travel from our home base in Portugal to the Sahara Desert in Morocco, having visited Ronda, Grenada,…

If you're like me, then there's probably been a time when you've felt like this: "...you're convincing me [to change my life]! And I know I have some development to do, but I start to feel so much lack sometimes when I listen to your episodes! 😉 Like there is…
In this episode, Greg and Rachel Denning answer this question: "Wondering if you have advice for someone who has been trying to pour everything into life/marriage to make it extraordinary but the spouse is not showing up and 'being the man' as Greg has defined. If they try, they relapse…
As a follow-up question to a recent episode about helping your spouse 'show up' or invest in your extraordinary life (https://podcast.extraordinaryfamilylife.com/254-your-spouse-isnt-showing-up/) , we were asked: "I love listening to your podcast.
