In today’s episode, I’m joined by Kristin Foust, the heart behind Foust Family Travel, where she and her husband Jason help families create smoother, more joy-filled vacations.

Kristin holds a Bachelor’s degree in Commercial Recreation and Tourism and has spent years exploring cultures across the world. As a mom of three energetic boys, she learned firsthand what so many families face: the travel industry often caters to families of four, leaving larger families feeling overlooked and overwhelmed. That gap became her calling.

Kristin now specializes in removing the mental load from planning family vacations so parents can trade stress for excitement, and experience travel as it’s meant to be—connected, easeful, and full of memories that last.
