What happens when you realise you can’t pre-book a taxi in Pisa, Italy — not even 15 minutes before your 6am flight — and you’re travelling with two small children?
Why does the idea of “we’ll sort it when we get there” send some of us into full-body panic?
In this episode, I can laugh about it now — because we did make it home in plenty of time. But it’s really about control, planning, and parenting.
About how having children makes us crave certainty — because so much already feels unpredictable — and how travel has a way of exposing just how tightly we hold on.
From light-switch chaos to taxi trauma, this story is about learning to let go, trusting it’ll work out, and remembering that the best moments often happen when the plan falls apart.
Maybe the real growth isn’t in mastering the logistics… but in surviving them with humour intact.
