The WHY Matters

Send a text

Your Mental Health Matters!

We all go through struggles; life will always come with its own problems. Finding ways to overcome them is the way to go. Will and I have gone to great lengths in trying a variety of therapies. Our Mental Health Journey is a win not just for our relationship, but also for our family. Keep trying until you find the perfect therapy that works for you!

Welcome to 'The Why Matters Podcast,' where we explore life lessons, things we often take for granted, and everything in between, gathered from our decade-long full-time travel lifestyle. Each week, we'll delve deep into the 'why' behind the choices we humans make in life and the positive results that stem from a strong sense of purpose.

Why did Largo and I hike the Appalachian Trail?

Well, it's like opening a whole new world! This trail is tough, really tough. But you know what's amazing? Even though not many make it through, folks still want to give it a shot. Everyone has their own reasons for taking on this adventure. And you know what it teaches us? It's not just about walking a path. It's about getting away from the stress of work, finding balance with family, especially with kids around, and most importantly, learning how to live better.

We answered your questions and shared our life update!

The AT Trail has changed our current lifestyle. Will and I are currently apart; he is busy editing the delayed vlogs while Largo and I are having the best days of our lives here. However, we want to update you on how things are working for us and share our future plans because some of you may be wondering if our full-time travel life has come to an end. We'll live in this kind of lifestyle for a while, before going back to traveling.

Welcome to 'The Why Matters Podcast,' where we explore life lessons, things we often take for granted, and everything in between, gathered from our decade-long full-time travel lifestyle.

Would you let your kids swear?

Welcome to 'The Why Matters Podcast,' where we explore life lessons, things we often take for granted, and everything in between, gathered from our decade-long full-time travel lifestyle. Each week, we'll delve deep into the 'why' behind the choices we humans make in life and the positive results that stem from a strong sense of purpose.

Profanity is one thing a parent may not allow their kids to use; it's a parenting choice to let them. But for us, we let our kids use them. Swearing can release the struggle and stress they are experiencing at the moment. Rather than them releasing that stress in other and worse ways, profanity is much better. As long as we keep to ourselves that we do not let ourselves hurt others by using profanity, you're good to go!

It’s their choice!

Ever wonder why some of our vlogs don't feature our Avalon and Largo? It's because they can choose not to participate! We always respect their decision to participate in our social media presence. Discover our ‘Why’ we decided to provide our children a boundary between their freedom of choice and our social media presence. Additionally, how you could include this change in perspective into your platform.

What is Reverse Culture Shock? 

Welcome to 'The Why Matters Podcast,' where we explore life lessons, things we often take for granted, and everything in between, gathered from our decade-long full-time travel lifestyle. Each week, we'll delve deep into the 'why' behind the choices we humans make in life and the positive results that stem from a strong sense of purpose.

In this episode, we discuss our plans to temporarily move back to the US. This is a 12-month plan, and we anticipate experiencing reverse culture shock. This occurs when someone resides outside the country for an extended period (which applies to us!) and decides to return to their home country. Listen to this video to understand our “Why” for making this decision and our concerns as we return to the US.

Where is Home?

Welcome to 'The Why Matters Podcast,' where we explore life lessons, things we often take for granted, and everything in between, gathered from our decade-long full-time travel lifestyle. Each week, we'll delve deep into the 'why' behind the choices we humans make in life and the positive results that stem from a strong sense of purpose.

Considering our travels from Los Angeles to other locations across the globe, each providing a distinct perspective on what it means to be at home. We should consider the differences between a physical home and the intangible concept of home, considering the struggles encountered in Paris and the deep bonds formed in Japan during the COVID-19 pandemic. We are aware of the influence our lifestyle has on our children's stability and sense of identity, demonstrating how customs, memories, and family ties cross national borders to provide a feeling of home no matter where they go.

You just gotta learn the hard way, don’t you?

In this episode, we go back in the archives to uncover ten (OK - Maybe eleven) interesting, and oftentimes hilarious, mistakes that we have made over the last couple of years.  We dive deep into the idea that mistakes are not only okay but essential for growth. We emphasize the importance of owning up to errors, reframing them positively, and learning from them through self-analysis. It's all about resilience, self-compassion, and understanding that imperfections are just stepping stones toward personal development.
