Ever dreamed of quitting the grind and setting sail into the unknown with your family? Erin Carey did just that — and lived to tell the tale.
Kate welcomes Erin to share her incredible journey from suburban life to sailing across oceans with her husband and three young kids.
Erin takes us through the meticulous planning, financial sacrifices, and emotional hurdles of buying a boat sight unseen in the Caribbean, learning to sail, and eventually crossing the Atlantic in a daring 17-day voyage.
Along the way, she discusses the challenges of homeschooling, building resilience in her children, and how breaking free from societal expectations led to life-changing experiences and personal growth for the whole family.
If you've ever wondered what it takes to ditch convention and embrace adventure — this episode will leave you inspired.
