#19 - How the Hoffman Process Changed our Life - The WHY Matters Podcast
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.
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.

#17 - Appalachian Trail 6-Month Thru-Hike: My First Impressions - The WHY Matters Podcast
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.

#16 - Our Life Updates, AT Trail, Bear Horn Mishap, Boat Life, Quitting Full-Time Travel and More - The WHY Matters Podcast
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.

#15 - Why We Let Our Kids Swear - The WHY Matters Podcast
Would you let your kids swear?
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.
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!

Customer Reviews
Refreshing perspective
Thank you for branching out and offering your insight and perspective on so many different topics. I love hearing how you have taken your lessons learned traveling and used them to rethink and evolve your philosophy. What a journey!! 💕🎉
Minnesota Mahigabs
Love love you guys! I listened to all your podcasts and trying to binge all your videos. I really want to take a trip with ya all!! This August I’m doing Camino by e-bike !! Will think of ya … cuz that is how I found this channel!! I really agree with so many topics!! Culture shock reverse .. should be topic. When I moved back to USA… my experience.
Remembering Why
I think it is true that the “why” guides everything. I like how you make the discussion relevant for all types of lifestyles. We have very similar why’s but different ways of going about it. But it is so impressive to have the hard talks and communicate when you think you are losing site of your why. Loved it and love listening to you guys!!
