This episode has been sitting in the vault for two years, and we’re finally getting to share it with you.
We’re so grateful to The Bucket List Family for joining us and for allowing us to share this never-before-seen conversation while Abby is taking time to heal and enjoy maternity leave. We talk about raising fearless kids, traveling the world as a family, their unconventional parenting philosophy, close calls with crocodiles and great white sharks, and what they’ve learned from nearly a decade of adventure together.
We hope you enjoy this special episode as much as we loved recording it. ❤️
