    Life’s a Tripp

    Welcome to Life’s a Tripp. We are Shan and Ryan Tripp.

    We are just a couple of small-town kids who fell quickly in love and couldn’t wait to do this life together! 

    We started having kids, were both working in healthcare and bought our first house right down the road from family… life was great – but something was missing.

    We were happy and blessed, but we also felt a little stuck. We realized we weren’t moving closer to our dreams for our future and family.

    So, we sold everything. The house, the cars, the clothes, all the stuff, everything – except for the kids – we kept the kids. 

    As scary as it was to make this big change – we couldn’t stop thinking about it; we knew in our hearts this was what God wanted for our family. 

    We packed our entire life into seven suitcases, grabbed our four small children by the hands, and jumped on a one-way flight to Hawaii. 

    From there, our whole world opened up.

    We’ve experienced the highs and lows of parenting, marriage, running a business from home, finances, moving across the ocean, making new friends, and maybe doing things a bit differently to ultimately make the very most of our family life – and that’s what we want to share with you.

    We are so grateful you are here, joining us as we pull back the curtains to have some fun together and chat about what we’ve learned during our unusual journey and what we’re doing each day to make the most of it. 

    It’s true what they say, “Life’s a Tripp,” – but despite the chaos, we want to show you that life can be lived on your terms. 

    This is our story. How will you write yours?

    26. Speaking Your Spouse's Love Language Sep 26, 2023
    Show notes

    Do you know your spouse’s love language?


    We all know that marriage is a journey filled with ups and downs, joys and challenges. But there's a secret ingredient that can make this journey even more beautiful and fulfilling: understanding and speaking your spouse's love language.


    Understanding your spouse's love language allows you to communicate your love more effectively. When you express love in the way they understand and appreciate, it bridges gaps in communication and fosters emotional intimacy. It shows that you care enough to invest in their happiness and well-being, strengthening the bond between you.


    When both partners feel loved and cherished, marital satisfaction naturally increases. Fulfilling each other's emotional needs leads to a happier and more contented partnership.


    We hope you’ll join us as we discuss this important topic and share some of what we’ve learned throughout our years of marriage. Remember, friends, love is a language, and when you speak it fluently, the love between you and your spouse can flourish and endure even the toughest of times.


    Episode Highlights:

    • We’re just here with you, trying to figure this out.
    • Facing challenges and growing through it.
    • Do you know your spouse’s love language?
    • Prioritizing your marriage.
    • Speaking your spouse’s love language.
    • Being on your spouse’s team.

    25. Why We Don't Believe In Timeouts Sep 19, 2023
    Show notes

    What is your parenting style?


    We know there are so many different styles of parenting, and there isn’t one universal style that works for everyone. Every child is different and has their own unique needs. Around here, we’ve found that gentle parenting is the most beneficial for our family.


    So what is gentle parenting, really? And why does it work? We believe that some forms of discipline promote fear, and fear never leads to good behavior. When kiddos feel safe, loved, and respected, they are more likely to behave. Positive reinforcement really goes a long way!


    In our episode today, we are sharing more about our parenting style, some tricks we’ve found that work for us, and some good old-fashioned encouragement to parents. At the end of the day, you know what’s best for you and your kiddos. God chose you to be their parents, and that means you are the best one for the job!


    Episode Highlights:

    • Encouraging Moms to lean into gentle parenting.
    • Discipline is not punishment.
    • Kids don’t behave out of fear.
    • There are different types of parenting.
    • We aren’t defined by our past.
    • It’s never too late to make a change.
    • Kids need to be kids, and adults need to be adults.
    • What example are we trying to set?
    • Investing in our kids.
    • The Positive Parenting Bench.
    • Letting your kids know you’re hearing them.

    23. Are You Struggling? You're Not Alone Sep 05, 2023
    Show notes

    Are you struggling? You’re not alone.


    Dear friend - the reality is - everyone struggles. We all face adversity in life, but it’s how we respond to it that sets us up for success. It is in life's greatest challenges that we discover our true strength and resilience.


    Someone in our online community recently reached out to us and asked, ‘Do you ever struggle?’. It is important to remember that you are just seeing others’ ‘highlight reels’ on social media. When we engage in constant comparison, we often measure ourselves against unrealistic standards. People tend to showcase their best moments, highlight reels, and successes on social media. This can create an illusion that everyone else is leading a perfect and joyful life while our own lives fall short.


    In this episode, we are touching on struggles and ways that we can be intentional about how we get through these rough times. We share about finding someone to talk to, leaning into our struggles, and changing our perspective.


    It is often in times of struggle that we learn some of life’s greatest lessons. So, no matter where you are today or what is going on in your life - we want to encourage you. You are not alone, sweet friend.


    Episode Highlights:

    • People are struggling all around us.
    • If you’re not struggling, you’re not human.
    • Comparison is the thief of joy.
    • Finding someone to talk to.
    • Leaning into our struggles.
    • Our thoughts are powerful.
    • Changing our perspective.
    • Don’t be afraid to change.
    • Resilience is built when you feel safe.
    • Serving others fills your bucket.
    • Never underestimate the power of a kind gesture.

    22. What Could You Live Without? Aug 29, 2023
    Show notes

    What could you live without?


    Today, we are diving back into the topic of minimalism. Minimalizing the amount of things we have has played a huge role in creating room for things that matter more to us. It has created more freedom to travel and spend quality time with family.


    That storage unit or room in your house is likely a burden to you. There is a balance between keeping sentimental items and flat-out keeping everything. In this episode, we will share about how we decide what to keep and what to get rid of and answer some of our community’s most asked questions about our lifestyle.


    The bottom line is this - You have the control over your things. We can either let our things dictate our lives, or we can take hold of the reins and get rid of what is burdening us. It is so freeing to let go of things that have been piling up and causing more stress in the grand scheme of things.


    We invite you on this journey with us to discover how embracing simplicity, decluttering your life, and focusing on what truly matters can lead to enhanced mental clarity, reduced stress, increased freedom & flexibility, and a more intentional and fulfilling lifestyle.


    Episode Highlights:

    • Less is more.
    • Family keeping everything.
    • Stuff adds to your stress.
    • Do you keep awards & keepsakes?
    • Freedom and flexibility of not having a lot of stuff.
    • Navigating gifts from family & friends.
    • Valuing experiences over things.

    21. A Back to School Pep Talk Aug 22, 2023
    Show notes

    Are you feeling a little extra weight on your shoulders with this upcoming school year?

    Whatever schooling looks like for you this year - we hope this episode will uplift you and encourage you in the thick of it. There are so many schooling options out there, and guess what? - There’s no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’.

    Each decision we make as parents leads to a different path, and there are lessons to be learned in all of it. In this episode, we share about our schooling experiences and how we take our kids’ input into consideration when we are decision-making, navigating relationships with our kids, and following our gut as parents.

    Ultimately, if we are intentional about how we parent our children, they will be just fine! We have a tendency as parents to overthink things, but the key is to follow our hearts and trust God to sort out the rest. Don’t forget - you are in control. You are the parents, and you have their best interests at heart.
    Above it all - your influence & involvement in their life will have more impact on them than anything else.


    Episode Highlights:

    • Schooling looks different for everyone.
    • Involving our kids in decision-making.
    • Our reason for homeschooling and the benefits we’ve loved.
    • Don’t be afraid to follow your gut.
    • You just have to get in their world.
    • It’s never to late to work on your relationship with your kids.
    • You are in control.
