After two years of keeping it quiet, Morgan finally opens up: since 2023, our family has been living in Mumbai, India.

In this raw, reflective solo episode recorded on our very last day in the city, I share the unfiltered truth about this life-changing chapter—the chaos, the magic, how India rewired the way I parent and homeschool, and the sudden, devastating event that shook everything only eight weeks after we arrived.

Two months into our move, my mom suffered a massive hemorrhagic stroke back in the U.S. Being half a world away while she fought for her life flipped a switch inside me: priorities changed overnight and I understood on a deep level what family, time, and presence actually mean. This isn’t just a travel reflection—it’s the story of how India and that terrifying phone call together reshaped my entire perspective on life, parenting, and what matters most.

How we ended up moving our family of five to Mumbai, what daily life and schooling 3 kids in our apartment really looked like, and how living immersed in a completely different culture transformed everything I thought I knew about education and “normal.” I open up about the moment everything changed, getting the call about my mom’s stroke, the helplessness of being 8,000 miles away, and how that crisis became the lens through which I now see gratitude, family, and every single day. I also share the overwhelming and beautiful moments alike, why travel with kids is the ultimate real-life education, how India taught me to let go of control, and why tomorrow’s flight home feels both heartbreaking and exactly right.
