What happens when you leave your routine behind and move your family to a new country? One year ago, we did just that—trading the hustle of daily life for a slower, richer experience in Mérida, Yucatán. In this heartfelt episode, I’m sharing what living abroad with kids really looks like: the beauty, the chaos, and the surprising lessons learned along the way.
Join me, a pediatric dietitian and mom, as I reflect on the highs, the hard moments, and the deep transformation that came from living in Mexico for a year. This isn’t just about food—it’s about family, culture, and rediscovering what matters most at the table and beyond.
In this episode, you'll learn:
🍽️ Why we decided to take the leap and move abroad
🎶 How our daughters immersed in Mexican culture (and Mayan songs!)
🌮 What Mexican mealtime taught us about connection and presence
🏡 The unexpected gifts of slowing down—and how we’re bringing them home
Whether you’re dreaming of an international move or just craving a deeper connection at home, this episode will leave you inspired to embrace the messy, meaningful moments of family life.
