Podcasts about families

What does it actually look like to build a real estate business you love — from scratch, without cold calling, as a self-described introvert who hides from cameras at family parties? Eddie Brady went from government employee to full-time agent in December 2021 with half the income he needed. Today he helps 2–3 families relocate to Maryland every single week, largely through a YouTube channel he almost lost forever. In this episode, Eddie and Neil Mathweg break down the entire journey — the YouTube strategy that grew his GCI from $100K to $200K to $300K year over year, the Black Friday morning he woke up to find his channel completely deleted, and the Instagram funnel he built in response. You'll learn Eddie's batching system, his "never excited to record" mindset, why your email list matters more than your follower count, and how the Three Pillar Plan creates momentum that compounds over time. If you've been putting off YouTube because you don't feel ready — this episode is your permission slip.

What happens when a therapist who has spent years working with autistic individuals suddenly becomes the parent of an autistic child? In this episode Will talks with Damon Bryan, co-founder of Autism Outdoors Utah, about how his son's autism diagnosis transformed both his personal life and his clinical perspective. Damon shares his journey from outdoor and residential mental health programs to creating a nonprofit that helps autistic individuals and their families experience the outdoors through hiking, rafting, paddleboarding, family retreats, and community events. Together, Will and Damon explore what it means to provide autism-affirming care, why traditional mental health services often overlook the importance of community and family connection, and how time in nature can support emotional regulation, confidence, and belonging. Whether you're a parent raising an autistic child, a mental health professional, educator, occupational therapist, or someone interested in outdoor therapy and neurodiversity, this conversation offers practical insights and an inspiring vision for how nature can become a powerful partner in supporting autistic individuals and the families who love them. Check out Autism Outdoors Utah Website. This podcast is supported by White Mountain Adventure Institute (wmai.org), offering adventure inspired retreats and coaching facilitated by Will White.   

Welcome to our Reveal podcast,Today, we're focusing in a simple but powerful truth: no family is perfect. Every family has strengths, struggles, disagreements, and flaws. When we look throughout the Bible, we see that even the families God used had imperfections and challenges.The good news is that Jesus doesn't wait for families to be perfect before He loves them. He meets us in our brokenness, offers grace in our mistakes, and helps us grow through our challenges. Families were created by God as places where love, support, forgiveness, and faith can flourish even when life isn't perfect.To support this ministry and help us continue our God-given mission, clickhere:Subscribe to our channel for the latest sermons:https://www.youtube.com/@revealvineyardLearn more about Vineyard Church Reveal Campus:https://www.revealvineyard.com/Follow us on social media!Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/vineyardrevealcampusFacebook | https://www.facebook.com/RevealVineyard

The U.S. Surgeon General just dropped a massive warning on what's trending with our kids regarding screen time, and the message it sends on how screen-time is impacting our children and teens is a wake-up call for all of us. Today, on this episode of youth culture matters, I chat with three youthworkers to break down the reports data and recommendations, and to strategize about how we can best respond for the good of our kids, and God's glory.

Eoghan Corry, Editor of Travel Extra, discusses proposed changes to EU law which means airlines will be legally obliged to seat families with children under the age of 14 together on flights without having to pay extra fees.

Shawn Osborne Jun 9, 2026, 8:08 PM (6 days ago) to me Today on The Liberty Blues libertarian candidate for US Senate from Arkansas Jeff Wadlin Jeff Wadlin chose Arkansas. He was born in Richmond, Virginia, and moved around a lot growing up — Illinois, Arizona, North Carolina. But when it came time to plant roots and raise a family, Jeff picked Bentonville. His three sons are growing up here. This is home. Jeff is not a career politician. He is a builder. He studied aerospace and mechanical engineering at the University of Virginia, went to work for Caterpillar, earned an MBA from Northwestern, and spent the rest of his career making things run. He co-founded a company in Illinois that became the largest online salvage yard for auto parts in the country. He worked at Capital One's headquarters in Virginia. He launched his own product development company. He ran Membership nationwide at Sam's Club here in Bentonville. Then he left to build his own consulting business. Big companies, small companies — Jeff has done both. He has led teams, made payroll, sat across the table from customers, and learned the hard way that a good idea isn't worth much until somebody executes it. You have to listen. You have to solve real problems for real people. That's the work Jeff knows how to do. Outside of work, you'll find Jeff on a mountain bike or a motorcycle, out on a backpacking trail, in the gym, or at a poker table. He is a regular guy who has been blessed with a good education, a strong family, and enough road behind him now to want to give something back. And that's why he is running. Jeff is worried about where this country is headed, and he thinks a lot of Arkansans are too. Families are working as hard as they ever have and still feel like they're falling behind. Young people are starting to wonder if the American Dream is even on the table for them. Parents and grandparents keep asking the same quiet question: what kind of country are we handing the next generation? Those aren't abstractions to Jeff. He feels them at his own kitchen table. When he thinks about whether his kids will get to build the kind of life he got to build, it's personal. Jeff doesn't think we fix any of this by yelling louder, hating our neighbors, or treating politics like permanent team warfare. His faith teaches him that God is love — that we are called to love our neighbors even when we disagree. That isn't weakness. It's telling the truth with humility, standing firm on what you believe, and remembering that the people across from you are not your enemies. Jeff's principles are simple: love, truth, work, and sacrifice. He believes government should leave you alone unless you're harming someone else — physically or financially. He believes every working family deserves a fair shot at a good life. And he believes Washington needs more adults in the room: more builders, more problem-solvers, and fewer politicians who profit from keeping us divided. Jeff has stepped into the arena before, running for Justice of the Peace, City Council, and a bid for the Libertarian nomination for U.S. House in 2018. He hasn't won yet, but that's about to change. Public service is worth the effort, even when the odds are long. Jeff is running for U.S. Senate because he wants to help build a country where hardworking Arkansans — and our kids and grandkids — can live freely, work hard, raise their families, build something of their own, and believe in the future again. Jeff chose Arkansas. Now he is asking Arkansas to choose him. This will be an episode of liberty blues.

This is a special episode as we hit the 10-year mark of the podcast. It's unbelievable, and it certainly doesn't feel like ten years have passed! It's a good point to stop and reflect on what we've done and how incredibly grateful I am to each person who has come on the show to share their stories and help us learn what perinatal mental health conditions look like and how we can offer more support. This information is what everyone needs before they even know they need it. I want to take this opportunity to reflect on how far the podcast has come and how far perinatal mental health education, advocacy, and understanding have advanced over the past ten years. This specialty has continued to grow within the context of how people find growth and healing. We've covered the basics and made people aware of the fundamentals of perinatal mental health, and the voices have only gotten louder in spreading vital information. Let's take a look! Show Highlights: A look back at the very beginning of Mom & Mind The shift in language from “maternal mental health” to “perinatal mental health” and “PMADs” to “PMDs.” The need for basic information remains, letting people know what to look for. Diving into people's lived experiences through their cultural, religious, ethnic, and marginalized lenses Our systems impact us, especially in how we become parents and parent our children. Deepening and widening the discussion to include everyone connected to the birth or loss of a child The myth of “the magical download” of parenthood People are more willing to talk about their shortcomings as new parents.  Scary thoughts are what you might be feeling—not WHO you are. We understand SO much more about what people might be going through with perinatal mental health. Everyone deserves highly specialized care for these 100% treatable and very temporary conditions.  The stigma of medication during pregnancy and postpartum, and how we've addressed it Your culture, identity, and lived experience are central to your healing.  One final truth: “The transition to motherhood and parenthood is a profound psychological transition. Peer connection is essential.” Resources: Call the National Maternal Mental Health Hotline at 1-833-TLC-MAMA or visitcdph.ca.gov. Please find resources in English and Spanish at Postpartum Support International, or by phone/text at 1-800-944-4773.  There are many free resources, such as online support groups, peer mentors, a specialist provider directory, and perinatal mental health training for therapists, physicians, nurses, doulas, and anyone who wants to be more supportive in providing services. You can also follow PSI on social media: Instagram, Facebook, and most other platforms.

Easing the mental load, minimizing the to-do list, letting go of the things that don't really matter is a constant work in progress for me – but when I'm in the throes of it all, I often think “there's got to be a better way”. I've invited Sam Bennett, creativity/productivity specialist, to join us to share her 15-minute method with all of us. Sam is the author of the bestselling book Get It Done as well as Start Right Where You Are: How Little Changes Can Make a Big Difference for Overwhelmed Procrastinators, Frustrated Overachievers, and Recovering Perfectionists. Her latest book is called The 15-Minute Method: The Surprisingly Simple Art of Getting It Done. Having spent most of her life working as a professional actor and improvisor, Sam brings a quick wit to her writing and her work as a top instructor on LinkedIn Learning with over a million “learners” worldwide.  It will all get narrowed down to those very few things that matter most at the end, so what are we waiting for? Someone else to decide what truly matters for us? A point in time where things all of a sudden get easy and simple? No, we get to decide. And like so many things worth doing, we start small, one step at a time, 15 minutes devoted to what matters most to you.  Thank you to our sponsors!

Becky Hill wanted to sell books. Alex Murdaugh's murder convictions are gone. And the financial crime victims who sat on that witness stand are now being told by the state's highest court that some of their testimony had "zero probative value." Eric Bland represented those victims. He's the attorney who exposed the financial schemes that prosecutors used as their entire theory of motive. And he's furious.The Supreme Court's ruling turned on Hill's conduct — the improper comments to jurors, the pressure to convict, the book deal that allegedly motivated her interference. Hill has since pleaded guilty to obstruction and perjury. She received probation. And now Murdaugh's defense team is suing her for six hundred thousand dollars under a federal civil rights statute, claiming any money recovered goes to the financial crime victims Bland represents.Bland wasn't consulted. He has questions about that promise. He also has questions about Harpootlian's "lone wolf" theory — the suggestion that Hill may not have acted alone in influencing the jury. That's not an idle question. If the defense can establish that someone else was involved, the entire first trial becomes even more radioactive — and the prosecution's job at retrial gets exponentially harder.This interview is with the lawyer who knows where the financial bodies are buried, who has watched this case from inside the machinery since the beginning, and who is now watching the court system tell his clients their suffering didn't count enough. That's a conversation worth hearing.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Stroke Impact on Family: When the Caregiver Becomes the Patient There is a particular kind of reckoning that happens when the person who has spent their life caring for others suddenly needs care themselves. For Kathy Cunningham, that moment arrived without warning. Kathy worked in healthcare for years, a field built on attending to others in their most vulnerable moments. When stroke entered her life, she was confronted with something her training had never quite prepared her for: accepting help. In Episode 408 of Recovery After Stroke, Kathy sits down with her sons Sean and Paul Monahan to talk openly about the stroke’s impact on the family, not as a concept, but as a lived experience shared across three people who navigated it together. When the Expert Becomes the Patient Healthcare professionals develop a particular relationship with illness. They understand the biology, know the pathways, and can often anticipate the trajectory of a condition before the patient has fully processed what is happening. That knowledge is a professional asset. In a personal medical crisis, it can also become a barrier. Kathy’s background meant she understood exactly what a stroke meant and what recovery would require. What it did not prepare her for was being on the receiving end: needing to ask, needing to wait, needing to trust others to do the things she had always done herself. Her sons Sean and Paul were part of that support system, two adult men who stepped into a caregiving role they had never anticipated, in a household that was already carrying more than most. A Household Navigating Stroke More Than Once What makes Kathy's story particularly complex is the context it unfolded in. Her household had already been touched by stroke before her own diagnosis, meaning Sean and Paul weren't approaching caregiving as something entirely new. They were deepening an already demanding commitment. The stroke impact on family is rarely a single event. It accumulates. Each new development shifts the balance of who does what, who needs what, and who is available to give it. For Sean and Paul, supporting their mother meant learning to hold space for her recovery while managing the weight of their own experience alongside it. That is the part of stroke that rarely makes it into clinical documentation: the sustained psychological and logistical load that falls on the people closest to the survivor, day after day, over months and years. The Challenge of Accepting Help One of the most consistent patterns across stroke recovery is the difficulty survivors have in accepting help, and it is amplified, not softened, when the survivor has a background in caring for others. The implicit logic runs: I know how this works. I should be able to manage this. Kathy speaks to this directly in the episode. The process of allowing her sons to step forward to organise, to accompany, to simply be present and available required a different kind of skill than anything her career had developed. It required recognising that accepting care is not evidence of incapacity. It is its own form of strength. For families supporting a stroke survivor, this distinction matters. When a survivor resists help, it is not always stubbornness. Often, it is someone navigating an identity that has been fundamentally disrupted by what happened to them. What the Family Perspective Adds Sean and Paul's presence in this conversation shifts something in the usual stroke recovery narrative. Most episode conversations centre on the survivor. This one deliberately includes the view from the other side, the sons who watched, worried, helped, and carried their own weight through it. What they share is instructive for any family in a similar position. Stroke impact on family plays out differently depending on who is watching, who is helping, and who is still finding their way back to the person they knew before the stroke. Their account is not about burden. It is about recalibration, finding a new way to be a family when every role has shifted. What Families Can Take From This Conversation If you are supporting a stroke survivor or a survivor who has struggled with accepting help, three things stand out from this episode. The first is that a survivor's professional identity shapes their recovery. Someone who has spent their career as a carer may need more time and explicit permission before they can accept care themselves. Naming this directly with patience, not pressure, opens the door. The second is that adult children carry more than they show. Sean and Paul's willingness to speak plainly about their experience is a reminder that caregiving has an interior weight that often goes unspoken. Creating space for that conversation within a family is not weakness. It is what keeps families intact through long recoveries. The third is that stroke impact on family is not a moment – it is a process. It evolves, shifts, and asks different things of different people at different stages. Families who move through it with honesty tend to find a stronger dynamic on the other side. If this episode resonates with you, Bill's book The Unexpected Way That A Stroke Became The Best Thing That Happened explores the tools that have helped stroke survivors and their families navigate the long road back.

Summer is one of the best times of year to bring family history out of the computer and into the real world. The days are longer. Travel is easier. Cemeteries are more accessible. Families gather for cookouts, reunions, weddings, and vacations. Local libraries, courthouses, archives, historical societies, and old hometowns suddenly become places you might actually visit. That makes summer a great season for genealogy research. But the best summer research does not start with a road trip. It starts with a plan. You don't need to solve your entire family tree. You don't need to chase every surname. You don't need to spend your whole summer buried in records. The goal is to choose a few useful projects that are enjoyable, realistic, and worth your time. A good summer genealogy project should help you do one of three things: Learn something new about an ancestor Visit a place connected to your family history Organize what you already have so your research is easier later That is enough. Small projects can lead to big discoveries...

Why do so many women immediately question themselves the moment they set a boundary, speak directly, or stop over-explaining? In this unfiltered and unhinged episode, Nicole Kalil digs into the exhausting mental spiral behind asking “Am I being a bitch?” — and why that question might actually be proof that women have been conditioned to prioritize likability over self-respect. Nicole unpacks the difference between being cruel and simply refusing to shrink yourself to make other people comfortable. From boundary-setting and ambition to people-pleasing and over-functioning, this episode challenges the outdated expectation that women must always be agreeable, accommodating, and “nice.” In This Episode, Nicole Talks About: Why women disproportionately question whether they're “too much” The difference between being powerful and being unkind How guilt shows up when women stop over-giving Why boundaries trigger discomfort — and why that's not your problem The danger of outsourcing self-worth to other people's opinions How to stop confusing honesty with cruelty Better questions to ask instead of “Am I being a bitch?” Thank you to our sponsors!

Beyond 'beans, bullets, and bandaids' is preparing to handle the people you could be cooped up with during a crisis event. Well-vetted survival groups are rare. Families or neighbors are far more common and will be a mixed-bag of stable individuals and those with potentially problematic personalities. Recognizing the issues early and dealing with them can prevent internal conflict from complicating your survival plan. Mic, Brian, and Jeff all watched the movie Lifeboat as a conversation starter about a mixed-bag of survivors. The IMDB listing for Alfred Hitchcock's Lifeboat, 1944. Streamable via Amazon Prime.

This week we're joined by Dr. Lauren Moskowitz, a clinical psychologist and researcher at St. John's University who studies something so many families know firsthand: the intersection of autism and anxiety. For many autistic children and teens, anxiety isn't just a side challenge. It can be one of the biggest barriers to daily life, school, friendships, and feeling like they belong. Dr. Moskowitz and her team have developed a therapy program specifically designed to treat anxiety and other mental health challenges in autistic individuals. Today we're getting into what that looks like and what families can do right now.

At a Minnesota Masonic Charities scholarship event, the CEO explains a scholarship program designed to recognize everyday kindness by having students nominate a peer and share the award. The program's purpose is to uncover and celebrate stories of service that often go unnoticed, highlighting how simple actions can create ripple effects across schools and communities. Throughout the night, several nominations are read and discussed, featuring special young people who consistently put others first through inclusion, support during difficult times, volunteering, leadership, and service to people with disabilities, younger students, seniors, and community organizations. Families and guests reflect on the values behind these actions and the importance of compassion, forgiveness, and noticing those who feel alone. The event concludes by thanking attendees and encouraging future students to keep nominating quiet difference-makers.

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Attorney Whitney Knox Lee. Explains practical estate‑planning strategies—wills, trusts, powers of attorney—and how entrepreneurs, families, and especially parents of disabled children can protect assets, avoid costly probate, and maintain eligibility for critical benefits. The conversation also touches on integrating insurance with estate planning, small‑business contingency planning, and Lee’s personal mission and background in civil rights work. Purpose of the Interview Educate listeners on estate planning as a wealth‑preservation strategy (not just documents)—to reduce court costs, taxes, and confusion for families. Clarify the differences and roles of wills, trusts, and powers of attorney, including when each is appropriate and how they work together.] Highlight special considerations for entrepreneurs and families with disabled children or aging relatives, including insurance, operating agreements, and special‑needs planning. Share Lee’s values and practice approach, including culturally responsive service and sustainable advocacy rooted in prior civil‑rights work. Key Takeaways 1) Wills vs. Trusts vs. Powers of Attorney A will is not the plan—it’s just one piece and still goes through probate, which can be slow and expensive; think of a will as a “letter to the judge.] Revocable living trusts can help families bypass probate, reduce delays, and retain more control over how assets are managed after death. Powers of attorney (financial and health) are essential for incapacity scenarios; even 18‑year‑olds heading to college should have them so parents can access information if needed. 2) Why Insurance Belongs in the Plan Life insurance can protect the family’s ability to keep the home by paying off a remaining mortgage or covering living expenses—turning an asset into a sustainable legacy rather than a burden. For entrepreneurs, key‑person insurance can replace income when the owner can’t work, keeping the business afloat. 3) Minimizing Probate Costs and Taxes Probate involves court filings and legal fees; in some states fees scale with estate size (example discussed: percentage‑based fees in other jurisdictions), which can significantly erode wealth passed to heirs. Proper planning reduces those leakages. 4) Special‑Needs and Elder Planning Parents of children on need‑based benefits (e.g., Medicaid) must avoid transfers that jeopardize eligibility; the right trust structures preserve benefits while providing support. Elder law planning anticipates long‑term care costs (nursing home, assisted living, in‑home care) so families don’t have to deplete assets later. 5) Business Continuity for Owners Establish operating agreements and buy‑sell agreements that spell out who runs the business if the principal is incapacitated; pair with business powers of attorney. 6) Values, Audience, and Access Lee intentionally centers Black and Brown women and their families, grounding services in community uplift and transparent referrals to trusted financial pros (no paid referral arrangements).

Notable Quotes (for pull‑quotes & captions) “Think of a will as a letter to the judge… a will still has to go through probate court. “A trust allows families to bypass probate altogether so they aren’t paying legal fees or leaving things to people who want to challenge the will. “Life insurance is a huge tool—it can help the family pay off the mortgage so they can keep the home and the equity.” “Estate planning is a strategy—not just documents.” “Even 18‑year‑olds should have powers of attorney—parents can’t just call doctors once kids are legal adults.” “I stay in my lane—I’m an attorney.

99% of the Evangelical Christian world gets this wrong, and it's absolutely destroying our families. We've fallen into the trap of thinking of the family in secular terms, instead of looking at the Bible and asking what God's vision was for the family, since HE created it.

For years, child care marketing followed a pretty familiar formula: build a beautiful website, drive traffic, collect reviews, book tours, and convert families once they walk through the door. But in 2026, that path just is not as neat or predictable as it used to be. Families are researching differently, AI is changing how information gets found, and many parents are making decisions long before they ever visit a school in person.   In this episode, Jennifer sits down with Parissa Snider, Chief Marketing Officer at WatchMeGrow, for a conversation that goes far beyond ads and websites. Together, they talk about trust, transparency, parent psychology, and what the full family experience now says about your brand, from the first search to the tour to the follow-up after. This episode is a fresh look at what enrollment and marketing really mean now, and why the schools that build trust most clearly are the ones families are more likely to choose.   Key Takeaways: [5:45] Marketing now lives inside the full family experience, not just in ads or website clicks. [6:10] Parents are increasingly getting answers from AI before they ever visit a school's website. [8:10] The old marketing funnel is no longer linear and has become a messy back-and-forth decision process. [8:33] Lower website traffic does not always mean lower interest if families are still converting further down the path. [10:08] Schools need website content that helps AI understand and surface real information about who they are. [12:10] FAQs matter more than ever when they answer the actual questions families are really asking. [13:01] Transparency around difficult topics is becoming a stronger trust-builder, not a liability. [15:05] In many cases, pricing transparency creates more confidence than withholding information. [19:02] The strongest websites speak to parents' fears and needs, not just the school's features. [21:11] Families want the curtain pulled back and are more likely to trust schools that show the real experience. [22:55] Trust and reassurance are deeply human needs, which is why communication matters so much in child care. [27:11] Follow-up should uncover hesitation and uncertainty, not just push for the enrollment decision. [31:24] The schools that win will be the ones that reduce uncertainty and build trust at every step. [34:41] Families stay more connected and loyal when they feel like participants instead of observers.   Quotes: "Lower traffic does not always mean lower interest." — Parissa Snider [8:33]   "Transparency equals customers." — Parissa Snider [13:24]   "I think that starting now, consumers are not going to reward only the businesses with the biggest ad budgets. They're going to reward the businesses that reduce uncertainty and make a huge and visible effort to build trust, the ones that have trust in mind in every step of the experience" — Parissa Snider [31:24]   "Participation equals ownership." — Parissa Snider [34:38]   Sponsored By: ChildCare Education Institute (CCEI) Use code CCSC5 to claim a free course!   Mentioned in This Episode: Kris Murray @iamkrismurray Jennifer Conner The Child Care Success Company The Child Care Success Academy The Child Care Success Summit Grow Your Center Childcare Education Institute: Use code CDARenewal22 to get $100 off your renewal WatchMeGrow's Free Guide to Marketing 2026 Parissa Snider

In this episode, we speak with the founder of the Seleni Institute, Nitzia Logothetis, a New York City nonprofit devoted to maternal and family mental health, about the invisible emotional toll of infertility and the gaps in women's mental health care. Founded in 2011, Seleni grew from the conviction that supporting children begins with supporting parents, and from Nitzia's own experience discovering she had no guaranteed parental leave while pregnant and working in a community mental health clinic. Today, Seleni runs a clinic serving up to 120 patients weekly, an online resource hub reaching 30,000 readers monthly, and national clinician trainings on perinatal mental health, grief, infertility, Black maternal mental health, and soon, perimenopause. The conversation centers on infertility as "disenfranchised grief" — a compounding series of invisible losses that strain relationships and challenge identity, with secondary infertility carrying its own quiet devastation. Nitzia closes with advice for those beginning the journey. Learn more, request appointments, or explore clinician trainings (including 100 annual scholarships) at seleni.org.

Frederick Newell came to Iowa City 20 years ago as a college freshman and single father, who recognized a need for support for young parents and underrepresented Iowans. As social worker, in 2012 Newell founded Dream City, a nonprofit that supports youth, families and entrepreneurs in Iowa City. Later in the program, we hear from documentary filmmaker and Muscatine native Chris Ward about his new film, 'The Journeying.'

Summer travel is in full swing, and this week we're breaking down the biggest trends we're seeing in 2026: cruises, Europe, and multi-generational family trips. John, Dayna, and Jess talk through their own summer travel plans, from Alaska cruises and Hotel Xcaret to Universal Orlando, Epic Universe, Disney weekends, river cruising, and sports travel. But the bigger story is what clients are booking right now — and this summer, cruising is everywhere. Families are sailing to Alaska, Greece, Japan, the Caribbean, and beyond, with European cruises and bucket-list itineraries becoming major standouts. We also dig into the rise of multi-gen travel, as more families are choosing to bring grandparents, siblings, cousins, and extended family together for big memory-making vacations instead of traditional reunions at home. From Disney Cruise Line and Royal Caribbean to Celebrity, river cruises, Adventures by Disney, Beaches Turks & Caicos, national parks, Universal, and Europe, this episode is packed with summer travel inspiration and the trends shaping family vacations right now.
