Erin and Josh on Texas and Eastern US Travel

Episode 18

On this Episode of Fulfillment Equation

Want a great way to lengthen out your summer? Head south! This episode covers our 2-month “life travel” adventure from Ontario to Texas and back through the Eastern US. In it, my husband Josh and I do a rapid fire walk-through of our favourite places to go, things to see and yummy eats from each location on our trip in order to give you ideas and inspiration for your own travels. We also share the lessons learned from this trip that helped to shape how we design our future life travel adventures.

This episode of the podcast is a complement to the travel blogs. Specifically we cover the following locations (links to the travel blogs are here):

  • Memphis, TN
  • Longview, TX
  • Austin, TX
  • Goliad, TX
  • Port Aransas, TX
  • San Antonio, TX
  • Kerrville, TX
  • Lafayette, LA
  • Gadsden, AB
  • Great Smoky Mountains, TN/NC
  • Washington DC
  • Hershey, PA

Travel is a big part of our family’s fulfillment equation and it was a joy to remember the details of our trip in creating these blog posts and recording this podcast episode. Perhaps it will be a helpful starting place for you should you decide to plan your own trip to southern and eastern US!

One theme that comes out in our conversation is finding balance in healthy tensions. For example, balancing the drive to be productive with the mindset of staying present, or balancing deliberate planning with being flexible. Sarah shares an experience that taught her how to move away from a state of perfectionism in her approach to painting and set some boundaries around time. We also cover topics related to entrepreneurship and motherhood.
