In this episode of Not By the Book: A Homeschool Podcast, I sit down with FPEA Chairman Suzanne Nunn to share the winding, unexpected path that led me to language learning, family travel, and eventually creating TalkBox.Mom. We talk about how growing up surrounded by different cultures sparked my curiosity, why traditional language classes never gave me confidence, and the moment I realized there had to be a better way—especially once I became a mom.
I also share the very real (and very messy) experiences that shaped my philosophy: learning languages while living abroad, raising babies overseas, and discovering what actually leads to fluency. Along the way, we dive into how our family travels the world together, how language becomes a bridge instead of a barrier, and why immersive experiences change the way kids learn forever.
This conversation is part origin story, part mindset shift, and part invitation to rethink what’s possible for your family. If you’ve ever wondered whether learning a language or traveling the world with kids is really doable—or felt like the traditional path just wasn’t working—this episode will leave you inspired to listen, dream a little bigger, and maybe even start packing. ✈️
