May 08, 2025 Sunshine, Sharks & One Dot Tattoos - EP. 45
On this episode of the Osborne Adventure Podcast, we take a break from the stress of packing, deadlines, and to-do lists to reflect on what’s pulling us forward.
In a completely unscripted conversation, Paul surprises Val with a question, What are the top five things we’re most looking forward to as we set sail? The result is a countdown filled with laughter, honesty, and wild turns including sharks, surfing, bread baking, and the now-infamous “one dot” tattoo idea.
This episode is equal parts vulnerable and funny, and it reminds us of what really matters when we're chasing something big as a family.

On this episode of the Osborne Adventure Podcast, we sit down with Ms. Rhonda Schock, educator, community builder, and the woman who’s helped raise half the kids in Rogue River, including ours.

April 17, 2025 The 10 Things We Wish We Knew About Down Syndrome - Ep. 42
On this episode of the Osborne Adventure Podcast, Val and I share the 10 things we wish we knew about Down syndrome when Ren was born. We didn’t know he had Down syndrome until the moment he arrived, and what followed wasn’t encouraging. It felt like an endless list of warnings about everything he might never do, instead of any recognition of the potential and beauty that would come to define his life.
This is the list we wish someone had given us instead. Some of it’s backed by science. Some of it’s just the truth we’ve learned by living it. We talk about the unknowns, the hard moments, and the unexpected beauty of raising a child with Down syndrome. This episode is about hope, connection, and the joy we’ve found in 10 years of parenting Ren. A life more full, more connected, and more meaningful than we ever imagined.

April 11, 2025 The Chaos of Parenting: Why Perfection Doesn’t Matter - Ep. 41
On this episode of the Osborne Adventure Podcast, Val and I sit down with Tressie Albee, a therapist whose candid and unconventional approach to life and therapy has been shaped by her own profound experiences. In this raw, unscripted conversation, Tressie shares her journey from tribal Kenya during the Somali war and her eventual shift in understanding that life is about being fully alive, not ticking boxes.
From finding purpose in the chaos, we explore how perceptions shape our ideas of ‘success’ and why parenting isn’t about perfection. Tressie challenges conventional views of therapy, shares stories of navigating life with authenticity and reflects on what it truly means to practice self-care.
