In this conversation with Amanda Turner, who writes as AK Turner, we discuss the challenges of managing and protecting our personal time as moms, how to become a bestselling author, and how to travel around the world with kids for less than it costs to stay home. Amanda is the New York Times bestselling author of This Little Piggy Went to the Liquor Store, Hair of the Corn Dog, the Vagabonding with Kids series. She wrote 7 books in 7 years and travels the world with her husband and two daughters as a part-time digital nomad family.
After just the first few conversations I’ve recorded for this podcast, one theme became very clear. The moms succeeding at being an amazing mom and pursuing more all understand that the only way we can teach our children to live their best lives, is by living our best life. That the only way we can teach them to be their best selves, is by being our best selves. We need to model the behavior we want to instill in our children. And that means taking care of ourselves. Not always first, but certainly not always last.
