In this inspiring and practical episode, Aisha is joined by Jas—better known as @blackexpatmom—for a powerful conversation about how to plan a summer sabbatical with children. Together, they explore what it really looks like to step away from routine, create intentional time for rest, adventure, and cultural immersion, and design a meaningful global experience as a family. Jas shares her firsthand experience traveling abroad with her daughter for extended periods while working remotely, including how she leverages credit card points and travel hacking to make long stays more affordable.
Aisha opens up about her dream of planning her family’s first sabbatical with her daughters, ages five and ten, and how community, Facebook groups, accountability, and thoughtful planning are helping her move from inspiration to action. The conversation also covers practical first steps—like budgeting, choosing locations, building support, and preparing children emotionally and logistically for extended travel.
This episode is an encouraging guide for Black families, single mothers by choice, and anyone curious about redefining what rest, lifestyle, and family time can look like beyond borders. Follow along as Aisha and Jas begin a journey toward an unforgettable sabbatical experience—and invite listeners to dream, plan, and take bold steps of their own.
