nomestia is a heart-led rebellion. A living diary of living in a system we are struggling to navigate, worldschooling, home education, and how we attempt to live an embodied family life. We explore what it means to tend to ourselves as human beings in this world, raise children outside of conventional systems while tending everyone's nervous system/ the body. This is not escape - it is a return: to breath, to slowness, to presence through long format podcast episodes. Created by Naomi and Alistair Gale, nomestia shares the real-time experience of travelling, home education, and reimagining what family life could be when we pause for a moment to reflect on how we could shape our lives in today's system. We are currently living in a van travelling Europe and Africa. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Bislama Morocco, Hello Andulusia, Off the Wagon and Dodgy Doors

    This week we said goodbye to Morocco after nearly five months travelling there. In our final days we needed a garage after being trapped in the van (kind of), reflected on thong bikinis in a Muslim country versus Spanish beach vibes. Then we discuss sobriety, the aisles of Lidl and why Ali almost keeled over on our ferry trip over. Each episode opens up conversations around current life, emotional realities of navigating this world in unconventional ways. We speak to the practical rhythms behind alternative lifestyles, while also holding space for the deeper layers at times such as identity, connection, capacity, and choice. This is a space for nuance. For the beauty and the friction. For the parts that don’t always make it online. That’s the beauty of podcast. If you’re curious about living and parenting outside the mainstream, homeschooling while travelling, or creating a life that feels more spacious and aligned, these conversations offer an honest window into what that can look like. nomestia explores: family van life • homeschooling • nervous system living • slow travel • parenting outside the mainstream • creative family life • location-independent living Join the field: https://naomigale.myflodesk.com/thefield Substack: https://nomestia.substack.com/ Hosted on Acast.

    Donuts, Crocodiles, A challenging scene

    (NB there is a Trigger Warning on this post in the final story). This episode explores our final days in Morocco, where we will go next and why we feel ready to move on. We discuss CrocoPark in Agadir and our thoughts on visiting a Crocodile Zoo. We move swiftly on to chat about donuts- and not the ones you eat. Then we end with (NB Trigger Warning) what we all ended up witnessing on the beach and how we tended to this as parents.

    Can you raise children and have freedom?

    Can you raise children and have freedom? In response to the many questions we have had about how we are doing what we are doing with three children in tow. Let's discuss what home educating looks like in this world. This podcast is, as always, aimed at all looking to move away from the script. It’s especially for anyone thinking of having children one day and wondering whether freedom can exist. Those interested in home educating and anyone else wanting to explore more chat on freedom and children. Jargon busting, e.g., unschooling, home schooling, home education. Misconceptions about home education worldwide and UK-specific residency requirements. Community and socialisation plus 'homeschooling hubs'. Recent UK law changes surrounding home education. Ending on- is pulling your children out of school the right thing to do? Also featuring, ASMR from Helen the cat.

    What even is nomestia?

    This week we, as Ali puts it, set out our stall. We explore where and when nomestia began in our journey to here. Why we wanted to start this nomestia space in the first place. We share some more intimate details about why we financially 'cut and ran' but also what it means for us moving forward. What do we do now? This kind of vibe. It's a full fifty minutes of discussion where we chat personal details, politics and the reality of being starting from scratch. Each episode opens up conversations around current life, emotional realities of navigating this world in unconventional ways. We speak to the practical rhythms behind alternative lifestyles, while also holding space for the deeper layers at times such as identity, connection, capacity, and choice.

    We Designed Your Perfect Day in Marrakech

    We Designed Your Perfect Day in Marrakech (From Sunrise Gardens to Rooftop Nights). We share everything we wish we had known before visiting Marrakech with and without children from how to navigate the Medina to how to experience Marrakech in a way that actually supports your nervous system, so you don’t just see Marrakech… you enjoy it. If you’re planning a trip to Marrakech and want more than just ticking off sights, this episode walks you through a beautifully curated, slow-paced perfect day in Marrakech. Not out of Marrakech all within this area. We begin in the quieter corners of the Medina before moving through hidden gardens, historic architecture, local markets, and rooftop dining- ending the day in the electric atmosphere of Jemaa el-Fnaa. From peaceful spaces like Le Jardin Secret to iconic spots like Jardin Majorelle, we explore both the well-known and the tucked-away. (We have three children and have been to Marrakesh as a solo trip and with children). Expect: hidden gems in the Marrakech Medina where to eat (including rooftops) cultural sites like Ben Youssef Madrasa and how to actually feel Marrakech rather than rush it This is your invitation to experience Marrakech with depth, softness, and intention.

    nomestia diaries

    In this episode, we share from the coast of Safi in Morocco on three topics. First, we chat about why Alan Sugar would love the Ouzoud Waterfalls. We then move on to just how horrendous the Ceuta border run was for us, personally. Finally, we explore whether Ali was risking death by not dealing with his foot after trying to break up a cat fight. nomestia explores: family van life • homeschooling • nervous system living • slow travel • parenting outside the mainstream • creative family life • location-independent living This is a public episode.

    What’s Really in Our Food?

    In this podcast, we unpack Ultra-Processed People by Chris van Tulleken. Alistair read the book and has been quoting studies from it ever since, so we decided to sit down together and explore the ideas behind it. We talk about why we now discuss ultra-processed food with our children, how we think Ali lost some extra weight, common myths around exercise, and the relationship children have with sugar and a toothbrush.
