In a rapidly changing world, how do we best prepare our children for the future? Press play on the latest episode of the Transform with Travel podcast where Kelly interviews Rekha Magon, co-founder and Chief Education Officer of Boundless Life. Rekha's insights challenge the status quo of traditional education, advocating for a model that's dynamic, adaptive, and in tune with the needs of our global society.

Many parents are reconsidering the traditional methods of schooling, where education often feels like a factory model—with rigid schedules and standardized tests that reward compliance over creativity. Rekha shares how Boundless Life integrates multi-age classrooms, enabling students to learn alongside peers who are both older and younger, fostering leadership, empathy, and more natural learning relationships.

In the episode, we discuss the importance of adapting education to be more personalized, hands-on, and globally focused. Through experiences like cultural immersion at Boundless Life locations, children learn not just academics but also empathy, cultural awareness, and global-mindedness as they interact with local communities and tackle real-world problems.

For parents eager to implement global learning without boarding an international flight, Rekha offers practical tips. Invite the world into your home by cooking meals from different countries, participating in cultural festivals, or simply engaging with families from different backgrounds in your community.

As Boundless Life expands, Rekha envisions a world with more immersive education centers, making global learning accessible to even more families. Current destinations include Portugal, Tuscany, Greece, Bali, and Montenegro, with the newest location in Uruguay, offering rich cultural experiences in breathtaking settings.

Ever felt more frazzled than fulfilled during a family trip? You're not alone—and you're definitely not failing.

In this solo episode, host Kelly Tolliday pulls back the curtain on the three sneaky ways parents unintentionally sabotage their own family travels. From luggage that could double as a moving van to itineraries tighter than your kid’s shoes after a growth spurt, Kelly’s calling out the chaos—and offering kinder alternatives.

If you've ever packed “just in case” and ended up schlepping “never used,” this one's for you.

In this episode, Kelly shares:

• Why packing everything but the kitchen sink sets you up for stress, not success
• How overstuffed itineraries rob your family of joy, connection, and spontaneous magic
• The myth of the “perfect” family vacation—and how releasing it gives you the freedom to actually enjoy your trip
• Real talk and practical tips to make travel smoother, lighter, and way more fun for everyone

Whether you're prepping for your first big trip with kids or you're a seasoned nomadic parent wondering why it still feels hard, this episode will help you shift from surviving your travels to actually transforming through them.
