Episode 227: Values, priorities and what matters most - Personal insights from my trip to Fiji

Jessica Donovan Episode 227

🌴 What a Family Trip to Fiji Taught Me About Health, Happiness & Slowing Down

This week on the Natural Super Kids Podcast, I’m shifting gears from the usual health-focused topics to share something a little more personal; an honest reflection on a recent family trip to Fiji and the unexpected lessons it brought.

As my kids grow older, travel continues to be a powerful teacher; not just for them, but for me too. From embracing “Fiji time” and letting go of the rush, to soaking in moments of contentment and connection, this trip offered reminders about what really matters most. In this episode, I’m sharing the values, priorities, and insights that are shaping my parenting and personal growth journey right now.

Here’s what I talk about in this episode:

  • Why travel has always been a priority for our family and how we make it work financially.
  • The joys and challenges of traveling with teens (let’s just say... it’s not always smooth sailing!).
  • What I admired most about Fijian culture: slowing down, being present, and finding contentment where you are.
  • Why this trip reminded me to keep investing in my fitness, mobility, and strength — not just for today, but for all the adventures I want to have in the decades ahead.

🎧 Tune in for a personal conversation about parenting, purpose, and the clarity travel can bring. Whether you’re dreaming of your next family holiday or just craving a moment of reflection, I hope this episode speaks to you.
