   In 2014, I tore off my Supermom cape, shuttered the house, and took my husband and preteen daughters on an eight month odyssey through India and Nepal.

  Why, you may ask?

I did it because I was beginning to hate the person I had become, trapped on the hamster wheel of working-motherhood. I no longer believed in the American dream – that bigger material possessions cause greater happiness. This was my dream – to take a spiritual journey, to live in India, and I did not want to wait until the kids were grown. And I thought –I want to model for my young daughters what it looks like for a woman to follow the longings of her heart.

   My family shouldered backpacks, walked away from our California life of carpools and Cal skate, and crisscrossed India by bus, train, and even elephant. We met His Holiness the Dalai Lama, hugged Amma the Divine Mother and visited the tree where the Buddha sat. Follow us from the banks of the Ganges to the Himalayan roof of the world, and let our unforgettable adventure open your heart, crack you up, and change the way you engage in family life, travel, and spiritual seeking.
