We are Amanda & Shawn King, hosts of Trying 2 Parent Podcast, & NO we are NOT pregnant JUST YET but we wanted to invite you guys to join us on our adventure as we move out of the country #Mexico, simplify our life’s, have one if not two babies with dual citizenship, & raise our kids to be global citizens. Join us as we explain how over the past year we’ve been trying to get pregnant. We’ll share with you guys the ups the downs, the good, the bad and everything in between because to be honest things haven’t been easy for us, they haven’t been smooth and they definitely haven’t gone as planned. But…. We believe raising a family takes a Tribe. We want to share this journey with y’all because we know much like our story this process of becoming a parent isn’t easy for everyone. So we want the advice from our friends and family who have done it correctly before us. Plus the usual tips and tricks on how not to F!ck things up. And by “things” I mean our kids. To be honest we don’t know exactly what we’re doing which is why we’re asking you to join us as we learn first hand. That starts with trying to convince which we’re pretty good at, and ends with our kids most likely putting us in a home. This will be brutally honest, quite descriptive, & full of attempts at poorly timed humor mostly by Amanda because she’s not the funniest person around. We will be taking listener questions that we are likely... Actually certainly unqualified to answer. But never the less, feel free to send any and all questions over to us @ trying2parentpodcast@gmail.com or on our Facebook at Trying2Parent. If you want to be featured on the show feel free to text in or call and leave a voicemail at (360)-450-5008 This is the start of our new story. We hope you join us for the long ride 🚘🌎 This is the Trying 2 Parent Podcast Let The Games Begin…

Why We’re Moving Abroad: The Real Reason We Travel as a Family

For us, travel isn’t just about vacations — it’s about intentionally designing a life we love.

In this episode, my wife Amanda and I open up about why traveling as a family has become one of our biggest priorities, and what’s leading us to move abroad to Southeast Asia to raise our kids with more freedom, culture, and time together.

We dive into:
🌍 Why travel creates more value than “stuff” ever could🏝️ Why Southeast Asia checks all the boxes for our family goals👶 How we’re raising our son Keanu with values of freedom, curiosity & balance🛫 Why now is the right time to go all-in on the lifestyle we’ve dreamed about

If you’ve ever thought about moving abroad, embracing digital freedom, or simply living a slower, more intentional life — this one’s for you.

Travel More, Spend Less: Our Secrets to Affording World Travel

Ever wondered how couples actually afford to travel the world full-time, or at least way more than the average family? In this episode, we share exactly how we prioritize travel and make it possible, even while raising a family.

Here’s what we cover:

✅ Living off one income and saving/investing the rest

✅ Buying a home with family to keep housing costs low

✅ Making travel a non-negotiable priority in our budget

✅ Tools we use to score cheap flights like Google Flights & the Going app

✅ Our mindset shifts that allow us to travel more without breaking the bank

Traveling the world isn’t just about having a big paycheck, it’s about making intentional decisions, setting priorities, and using the right resources to stretch your dollars. Whether you dream of long-term travel, family adventures, or just a few extra trips a year, this video will give you some insight on how to make that happen.

👉 Subscribe to follow our journey as we explore the world one country at a time, while sharing the strategies, hacks, and honest stories that make it all possible.

Pregnancy Bots in China?

This week, we’re unpacking everything from our upcoming family trip to Taipei and Vietnam with Keanu, to scouting hospitals in case Amanda decides that's the route she wants to take. We even touching on some crazy new tech we came across — like pregnancy bots 🤯

Keanu also had a playdate with his little bestie… and let’s just say, she gave him a run for his money 😂

As always, we appreciate y’all tuning in. We’re figuring out this travel + family + legacy life one step at a time, and bringing you with us on the journey.


Here's a link to one of the many Pregnancy bot articles. No I want you guys to know this information is not real BUT.... I could definitely see this becoming a thing in the future so maybe it's just a little foreshadowing. It's a fun read anyways lol.

Trying to Stay Consistent

What's up everyone we're back again with a brand new episode. Pretty crazy this is our second one this month. It might not have been back to back weeks but no matter what like I promised you last time you'll at least get two episodes a month.

Nothing too crazy has happened since last episode but Keanu is really starting to say a ton more words which is really cute. He's also going through the mine and no stage which is funny because he isn't 100% against sharing but you might have to ask him a few times. He's been avoiding his naps on the weekend like the plague and still doing this things where he tries to hit us when he get's upset but all things I guess you just work through as the parents of a toddler. Either way he's literally the cutest little kid ever and is just getting to be more and more fun to be around each day. It's all a learning journey and we know it will never be perfect.


Appreciate you guys tuning in, please drop any advice you have for him wanting to hit us or pulling his own hair when he's upset in the comments below. Much love ya'll #KeepParenting

Episode 75: Hello From Europe

Sorry guys, life has been crazy, business has been crazy and when just haven't been putting the time or the effort in so sorry about that.


With that being said we shot this episode while in Warsaw Poland on our end of the year Euro trip. Life has been busy but also great. Keanu just turned 11 months and it still the cutest coolest guy ever and he did such an amazing job on this trip. Filling up that mans passport before he's 5. Time is flying by, its almost been a year but we've loved every minute of it.

We'll try to be a little more consistent with the episodes but for now I hope you enjoy this one. Sorry if the audio is a bit low, we we're trying not to be too loud while he was sleeping in the other room.

Sorry we missed last week guys. Amanda went and hung out with my sister who needed some quality time away from her kiddos as most mom's do but we're back with another 30 min episode to help catch you up on all the fun stuff we've been doing since then. We totally forgot to mention in the episode that Keanu turned 7 months old on the 11th so the little man is growing up quick fast and in a jiffy. It's great to be able to work from home and really experience all of these amazing moments with him. So much more fun to be had but we hope ya'll enjoy the episode and we'll catch you next week for sure!

Man this parenting thing is legit no joke.
