88. Could You Leave It All Behind for a Year-Long Family Trip? Heather Did.

Could You Leave It All Behind for a Year-Long Family Trip? 

Heather Did.

This week’s episode of Grab Your Keys and Go takes us on one unforgettable adventure, literally! We sat down with Heather to hear about her Big YES: taking her family on a year-long trip around Australia.

What began as a dream turned into a full-blown logistical (and emotional) marathon from renting out the house, packing up, clearing years of “stuff,” to juggling work commitments, and moving life onto the road. 

But what she didn’t expect was how the trip would change her family especially the deep, beautiful relationships that blossomed between her children and her husband. Days spent together without the usual noise and distraction created space for connection, conversation, and laughter they’ll never forget.

Heather reflects with us honestly on what it took to get there, the planning, the letting go, and the courage to trust that they could make it work. She also opens up about what she’d do differently next time and what the road taught her about simplicity, family rhythm, and the kind of life they truly wanted to return to.

If you’ve ever dreamed of taking off, maybe not for a year, but just for a reset, Heather’s story might be the permission slip you’ve been waiting for.
