Welcome to Life's a Tripp. We are Shan and Ryan Tripp.
We are just a couple of small-town kids who fell quickly in love and couldn’t wait to do this life together!
We started having kids, were both working in healthcare and bought our first house right down the road from family… life was great - but something was missing.
We were happy and blessed, but we also felt a little stuck. We realized we weren’t moving closer to our dreams for our future and family.
So, we sold everything. The house, the cars, the clothes, all the stuff, everything - except for the kids - we kept the kids.
As scary as it was to make this big change - we couldn’t stop thinking about it; we knew in our hearts this was what God wanted for our family.
We packed our entire life into seven suitcases, grabbed our four small children by the hands, and jumped on a one-way flight to Hawaii.
From there, our whole world opened up.
We’ve experienced the highs and lows of parenting, marriage, running a business from home, finances, moving across the ocean, making new friends, and maybe doing things a bit differently to ultimately make the very most of our family life - and that’s what we want to share with you.
We are so grateful you are here, joining us as we pull back the curtains to have some fun together and chat about what we’ve learned during our unusual journey and what we’re doing each day to make the most of it.
It’s true what they say, “Life’s a Tripp,” - but despite the chaos, we want to show you that life can be lived on your terms.
This is our story. How will you write yours?

55. What every family should know about staying healthy on the go
Nothing ruins a family trip or sports activity like getting sick. So we try to do the little things that will help our whole family stay healthy. We're sharing a few of our best tips for staying healthy.
While traveling through Europe our little guy Jack complained of an upset stomach. This persisted for a while and we started to get worried. We realized we needed to heal his gut. Shannon found an amazing probiotic from Seed that worked wonders.

The term "worldschool" is gaining popularity as more families travel abroad and teach children about the world.

52. Feeding our Minds with Good Information
What we feed our minds is manifest in our circumstances, our attitude, and how we attract goodness into our lives. It's helpful to pause and consider the music we listen to, the movies and shows that we watch, the books we read - and the example we set for our families with the content we consume.

51. How to talk to kids about sex
We recently had the "sex talk" with our 8-year-old daughter. It was a positive experience for us and her. It doesn't have to be a scary or taboo topic. With a simple plan and some ideas you can successfully talk to your kids about this important subject, before they hear about from someone else!

Customer Reviews
One of the best!
Completely wholesome- down to earth and makes me want to be a better mama! Please continue making episodes… a book would be awesome (in your spare time 😂😂😂😂)
The best!
I so look forward to every new episode!
The couples friends you need
I can’t help but think if we ever crossed paths that we’d all be friends. Love hearing your thoughts and advice. My favorite episode so far is Ryan’s money talk! I’m always so curious how others make things work financially, but even more so for families like yours who have an adventurous path. I only have just a million more questions haha
