Lawyer To Family Travel Company, Parenting a 2nd Baby During Covid & Cleft Lip Surgery - Lee Friedman S6 E92
Manage episode 406127083 series 2896608
- I am a mom of two kids, ages 7 and 3 at the time of the podcast
- For me, one of the hardest parenting transitions was maintaining a sense of self as a working parent, and finding time for the things important to me. Travel was always a big one.
- Before kids, travel was how I stayed grounded and inspired and connected to my dreams and life goals. It was how I reduced stress, and cleared my head.
- Traveling with kids can be harder, full of chaos -- but I learned it can do the same thing.
- After my youngest had surgery on his cleft lip at 8 months old, during COVID, we were exhausted. We took an incredible family trip together and really reconnected, and came back with more energy and enthusiasm for life.
- After that trip, I decided to pivot from my career as a lawyer to launch a family travel company.
My goal is to encourage parents who value travel to keep taking those trips with kids -- and to help them do it in a way THEY enjoy too.
It doesn't have to be all about the kids. It can be about mom and dad too and, in fact, planning trips with your OWN wants/needs/goals in mind can help the whole family have a better, more connected experience.
After being a lawyer in private practice for 15 years, I now run a family travel company.
My website is a resource for new parents looking for travel inspiration from someone who understands the unique challenges of traveling as new parents.
