Want to know our secret to a 24-year marriage?
In this episode, we share how important it is to have shared adventures while also supporting personal projects.

Welcome to 'The Why Matters Podcast,' where we explore life lessons, things we often take for granted, and everything in between, gathered from our decade-long full-time travel lifestyle. Each week, we'll delve deep into the 'why' behind the choices we humans make in life and the positive results that stem from a strong sense of purpose.

What would you do for a memory?
Despite battling tendonitis, I reflect on my memories and the sacrifices I'm willing to make for them. I open up about my struggles with perfectionism, the physical pain of my injury, and my deep desire to prioritize experiences over material possessions. As I prepare to rejoin the hike, I hope to inspire you to consider your own "whys" and the lengths you would go to create meaningful memories with your loved ones.

Are we letting Largo hike the AT Trail alone?
Largo recently asked if we would allow him to finish the trail alone if Jessica couldn't continue. Life is full of uncertainties, and if Jessica is unable to finish, we would permit Largo to continue under specific guidelines. As he grows older, he needs less of our assistance and more opportunities to navigate life independently. Allowing him to experience this journey will help him become wiser, while we remain available to support him when needed.
Welcome to 'The Why Matters Podcast,' where we explore life lessons, things we often take for granted, and everything in between, gathered from our decade-long full-time travel lifestyle.

One of the best ways to overcome perfectionism is to celebrate your successes, no matter how small they may seem. Each step forward is progress.
We haven't been posting for a while, and it's been hard for us because of Jessica's perfectionism. People's judgments hit us hard and really take a toll, pushing us to strive for perfection. We need to embrace the small steps of this journey. Our practical advice on overcoming perfectionism includes celebrating successes, acknowledging mistakes as learning opportunities, setting realistic expectations, practicing self-compassion, and seeking professional help.

Trigger Warning: We will discuss about sexual abuse. This may be triggering for you. We respect your decision to skip this episode. Listen again when we are back to our regular programming.
“The healing begins, but it doesn't happen immediately.”
One in six men experiences sexual abuse or assault. People do not see the aftermath of the trauma; many hide it, and it causes them to crumble. You have to understand that despite seeking therapy, even for years, the negative emotional response may still persist. It is hard to overcome the trauma, but we must learn that life goes on and find support in our families.

Trigger Warning : This episode discusses mental health issues that you may find triggering. Feel free to skip this episode.
“You have to be willing to look within yourself and be willing to change certain things that have been part of your life.”
We were referred to undergo Hoffman Process, and we were surprised to learn of its existence. What is it? It's joining a group with 24 individuals where you leave all your responsibilities and just focus on yourself. This therapy helped us understand my life patterns and how to address them. We've come to realize that life is tough, but we need to be kind to ourselves. We may have the biggest endeavors, but sometimes we just need to disconnect and rest.

Why did Largo and I hike the Appalachian Trail?
Well, it's like opening a whole new world! This trail is tough, really tough. But you know what's amazing? Even though not many make it through, folks still want to give it a shot. Everyone has their own reasons for taking on this adventure. And you know what it teaches us? It's not just about walking a path. It's about getting away from the stress of work, finding balance with family, especially with kids around, and most importantly, learning how to live better.

We answered your questions and shared our life update!
The AT Trail has changed our current lifestyle. Will and I are currently apart; he is busy editing the delayed vlogs while Largo and I are having the best days of our lives here. However, we want to update you on how things are working for us and share our future plans because some of you may be wondering if our full-time travel life has come to an end. We'll live in this kind of lifestyle for a while, before going back to traveling.

Profanity is one thing a parent may not allow their kids to use; it's a parenting choice to let them. But for us, we let our kids use them. Swearing can release the struggle and stress they are experiencing at the moment. Rather than them releasing that stress in other and worse ways, profanity is much better. As long as we keep to ourselves that we do not let ourselves hurt others by using profanity, you're good to go!

Is it worth it to work for FREE on something you believe in?

What is Reverse Culture Shock?
Welcome to 'The Why Matters Podcast,' where we explore life lessons, things we often take for granted, and everything in between, gathered from our decade-long full-time travel lifestyle. Each week, we'll delve deep into the 'why' behind the choices we humans make in life and the positive results that stem from a strong sense of purpose.
In this episode, we discuss our plans to temporarily move back to the US. This is a 12-month plan, and we anticipate experiencing reverse culture shock. This occurs when someone resides outside the country for an extended period (which applies to us!) and decides to return to their home country. Listen to this video to understand our “Why” for making this decision and our concerns as we return to the US.

Where is Home?
Welcome to 'The Why Matters Podcast,' where we explore life lessons, things we often take for granted, and everything in between, gathered from our decade-long full-time travel lifestyle. Each week, we'll delve deep into the 'why' behind the choices we humans make in life and the positive results that stem from a strong sense of purpose.
Considering our travels from Los Angeles to other locations across the globe, each providing a distinct perspective on what it means to be at home. We should consider the differences between a physical home and the intangible concept of home, considering the struggles encountered in Paris and the deep bonds formed in Japan during the COVID-19 pandemic. We are aware of the influence our lifestyle has on our children's stability and sense of identity, demonstrating how customs, memories, and family ties cross national borders to provide a feeling of home no matter where they go.

You just gotta learn the hard way, don’t you?
In this episode, we go back in the archives to uncover ten (OK - Maybe eleven) interesting, and oftentimes hilarious, mistakes that we have made over the last couple of years. We dive deep into the idea that mistakes are not only okay but essential for growth. We emphasize the importance of owning up to errors, reframing them positively, and learning from them through self-analysis. It's all about resilience, self-compassion, and understanding that imperfections are just stepping stones toward personal development.

It’s Fine to ask for help!
Welcome to 'The Why Matters Podcast,' where we explore life lessons, things we often take for granted, and everything in between, gathered from our decade-long full-time travel lifestyle. Each week, we'll delve deep into the 'why' behind the choices we humans make in life and the positive results that stem from a strong sense of purpose.
In this episode, we discuss the importance of seeking help. Living in Full-Time Travel presents various issues and struggles along the way. Due to the mindset instilled by our parents, we have maintained the mentality of surviving without assistance. However, it's time for a change in 2024! We kicked off the year by seeking our first bit of help—borrowing our parents' car for six months. They have an old one lying around, and we want to avoid unnecessary paperwork; it's undoubtedly a win-win situation. Asking for help is not a sign of weakness but rather a demonstration of the mindset of a strong person who utilizes their resources wisely.
Let “Help” be our word of the year!

@6:52 Our Journey of asking Help late

@20:36 "Go-it-alone" attitude.

Just go for it!
Welcome to 'The Why Matters Podcast,' where we explore life lessons, things we often take for granted, and everything in between, gathered from our decade-long full-time travel lifestyle. Each week, we'll delve deep into the 'why' behind the choices we humans make in life and the positive results that stem from a strong sense of purpose.
In this episode, we emphasize the importance of time. We went trekking this year, and it has been an eye-opener. People may not have the money or the capability to travel now, but know that we have the time and the agility to do it. As we get older, things may become different and harder to cope with. Will loves running, but when his knee developed problems, it took longer to heal than anticipated. What we are trying to advocate is 'Do it now!' because you are more capable now than in your future.
