Childhood friendships are often the most formative of our lives. But they change and evolve as we get older and enter different seasons. Maureen, Anne and Amanda have been friends since kindergarten. As adults, their friendships ebbed, and flowed as they went to college, started careers, fell in love and got married. Amanda even became a pretty famous Hollywood actress. But then the three women found themselves pregnant with their first babies at the same time and it was a life change that brought them closer than ever. That's when they decided to take their commitment to the next level. They decided that the three of them would start a business together.

Today we're talking about how to maintain a lifelong commitment, a lifelong friendship that starts at five years old and then evolves in so many different ways. And how do you balance that friendship with launching a business together?

Today's episode is something pretty magical. Literally. Today we're talking to Francis and Lindsey, a couple of married magicians who make magic together both on and off the stage.

What was supposed to be a few months of travel for Garrett and Jessica Gee quickly turned into a lifestyle and a career. The couple figured out how to become travel influencers, how to get brands to pay them and their young family to travel the world. Part of me wanted to find out that this wasn’t a dream...that traveling with three small children was actually exhausting and tedious, but the truth is that Jessica and Garrett make it seem easy, and beautiful. And in a time when we are all stuck at home for the foreseeable future, their nomadic family feels like the escapism we desperately need.

What would it take for a sixteen year old boy to hike the entire Appalachian trail with his mom? That's what we are talking about today with Jessica and Largo, the mother and son duo we chatted with last week about traveling the world as a family.

Jessica and Largo saw their relationship and their bond change and evolve during their months together on the trail. Sometimes Jessica was the caregiver and sometimes it switched to Largo. Sometimes they talked about everything under the sun and sometimes they were silent for days on end.

They bother emerged from this journey changed and ready for the next phase in their relationship when Largo leaves the family nest.

As a parent, how do you transcend the regular run of the mill parent/child relationship? How do you turn your bond into a real friendship? When Jessica's two kids were young, she pulled them out of traditional school, began homeschooling them and started traveling abroad. They left the U S a decade ago in search of a more authentic path. Since then they've lived in an RV in Europe for three years, learned to sail and crossed the Atlantic together as a family.

This has been challenging and insane and also delightful and wonderful.

Today we're talking to Jessica and Largo, her 17-year-old son, about how this lifestyle has strengthened their bond. This is the first in a two-part episode. In the first episode we dig into the foundation of their relationship and next week are getting into the mother-son duo's decision to hike the Appalachian trail together.
