Discover the transformative journey of Adriana Zoder, a remarkable homeschooling mom, author, blogger, and newspaper columnist, as she reveals how she navigated her path from skepticism to advocacy in the world of homeschooling. Initially intrigued by the impressive peers she met during her college years, Adriana found herself guided by educational pioneer Dr. Raymond Moore. In this episode of the Radiant Mission Podcast, Adriana shares the intimate details of her decision-making process, the profound impact homeschooling has had on her family life, and how she and her husband came to embrace this educational path for their children.
Journey back to Romania in the 80s and 90s, where Adriana's passion for languages defied societal norms focused heavily on STEM fields. Despite growing up under the shadow of the Iron Curtain, her love for languages, bolstered by her supportive teachers, was unstoppable. The fall of the Berlin Wall opened new vistas, leading her to a fulfilling career in linguistics. Adriana's fascinating story of learning languages like Swedish while living abroad and raising multilingual children offers unique insights into the rewards and complexities of navigating a multicultural and multilingual world.
This episode also touches on the broader international homeschooling landscape, exploring challenges faced by families across different cultures and legal systems. Adriana candidly discusses her experiences of managing a small business while educating her children and addresses the misconceptions about socialization in homeschooling. As the conversation wraps up, Adriana reflects on her faith journey and the reassurance she draws from Philippians 1:3.
