What if raising your kids didn’t mean following the rules - but rewriting them altogether?


In this episode of Do Your Thing, I’m joined by the brilliantly honest and refreshingly down-to-earth Fiona Sim: a home-educating mum, Certified Business Strategist and freedom-seeker who’s created a life and career shaped by values and instincts, not expectations.


Fiona lives in the Scottish Borders with her husband and two daughters. After spending 15 years trying on different jobs and directions, it wasn’t until motherhood that she truly found her path - which included the decision to Home Educate her kids.


Fiona shares her inspiring story of consciously stepping away from the conventional path, from years of trying to “figure it all out” to building a lifestyle that blends parenting, learning, travel and self-trust.


During this conversation we explore:

  • Why Fiona chose to home educate her children - and what that actually looks like in real life
  • How home education has become a natural, blended part of their everyday life
  • The role of freedom in her parenting journey - and how her perspective shifted after becoming a mum
  • The balance between supporting her children’s autonomy and making space for herself
  • The reality of trial and error, learning to get it wrong, and offering yourself compassion in the process


Fiona also shares some invaluable widsom around what to consider if you’re curious about home education, and how to start exploring what might work for your family.


This is a grounded, thoughtful conversation about living life and raising kids outside the lines and what it really takes to carve out a life that feels good for you and your family.
