    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?

    15. Love From Afar: Maintaining Family Relationships Jul 11, 2023
    Show notes

    Are you close with your family?


    One of the most frequent questions we get about moving away from home is - ‘How did you handle moving away from family?’


    When we moved to Hawaii, it was the biggest, hardest, scariest thing we had ever done. We are close with our families, and we were now moving across the ocean. With this decision came the responsibility to be even more intentional about maintaining those relationships while also building friendships in our new home.


    We are here to tell you - it can be done. It is hard, especially at first... But you and your family will adjust to this new way of life. There are so many moving parts in a family - there are happy moments, mundane moments, disagreements, and surprises.. But at the center of it all, there is love. If God has put a desire on your heart, He is faithful to handle the details once you take that step of obedience into what He has called you to. The step that began as scary and challenging has turned into the biggest blessing for our family.


    "Family should be the place where you can be your most complete self. Where you're accepted and appreciated, seen and valued, even in moments of disagreement. It should be your soft place to fall, the place where you're reminded that no matter what happens to you, in the face of your deepest challenges, you are loved." - Oprah


    Episode Highlights:

    • Family is a blessing.
    • Telling our families we were moving to Hawaii.
    • Love stretches across the ocean.
    • Time with family is so much sweeter now.
    • Making new friendships.
    • Loving and supporting each other despite differences.
    • Facing problems head on.

    14. Create More Freedom in Your Life Jul 04, 2023
    Show notes

    What does freedom mean to you?


    At its core, freedom is the ability to make choices and pursue your own path in life. Over the last few years, we’ve exercised our freedom in many ways, and it’s been an incredible blessing to our family.


    Life is not a one size fits all. If you’re feeling trapped in your circumstances, it’s never too late to make a change. You have the freedom to choose to create the life you want. We all have unique desires, giftings, passions, and dreams, and God put them in us for a reason.


    Wherever you are in your life, whether you’re working a nine-to-five, a stay-at-home mom, or a corporate executive - there is freedom to find gratitude in. We want to encourage you to spend today reflecting on and enjoying your freedom.


    We live in a world of endless opportunities, and it’s up to us to grab hold of them! God has an abundant life set out for you, and we hope you’re living it to the fullest!


    Episode Highlights:

    • How we exercise our freedom.
    • Being thankful for our freedom.
    • The blessing of freedom in our lives.
    • Life is not a one size fits all.
    • We have an abundance of opportunities.
    • How to break out of the mold.

    13. Screen Usage, Screen Time, and Getting Outside to Explore the World! Jun 27, 2023
    Show notes

    How do you handle screen time in your home?


    Let’s face it - screens aren’t going away. We live in a day and age where screens are everywhere. But here’s the thing - they don’t have to rule our family’s lives.


    While not all screen time is ‘bad,’ it’s important to understand the development of our children’s brains and how time on the screen affects that development. For instance, 90% of the human brain is developed by the age of 5.


    When our young children are subjected to screens, their brains begin to think that they need that stimulation to stay entertained. In this episode, we aim to help you understand more about your child’s brain development and encourage you to make more educated decisions regarding their screen time.


    If you’ve not limited screen time up to this point - take a deep breath - your children are going to be fine. This episode is not intended to bring guilt or shame. We simply want to help you navigate something that no other generation of parenting has had to navigate to this degree.


    You’re doing great!


    Episode Highlights:

    • What parents need to know about brain development.
    • Understanding brain stimulation.
    • Finding balance in screen time.
    • Letting our kids be bored.

    12. Talking about MONEY: Using it to Accomplish Your Dreams Jun 20, 2023
    Show notes

    What dreams do you have?

    In today’s episode, Shannon and Ryan share about money and how it can be used to accomplish your dreams. So often, people get stuck in a mindset that their dreams and goals are not attainable. The reality is that God wants you to live an abundant life, and your plans are on the other side of obedience.

    We live in a world of endless opportunities. There are so many ways to make extra money. You must first set your goals, be willing to work towards them, and make sacrifices for what matters most.

    When the Tripps decided to save up and move to Hawaii - it took planning. They had to save money to follow through with their decision. They stopped eating out at restaurants, stopped shopping for things that weren’t necessities, and cut back on extracurricular activities. Instead, they put the money they would have spent on those things into their Hawaii fund.

    Today’s episode is full of encouragement to live life to the fullest. We invite you to tune in and gather the inspiration you need to start chasing your dreams.


    Episode Highlights:

    • A talk about money.
    • How a desire to do good ties into finances.
    • Why money matters.
    • The importance of believing in yourself.
    • A talk on making sacrifices for what matters most.

    Do you desire to homeschool but aren’t sure where to start?

    When we started our homeschool journey, it was an easy decision.. we were moving away, so the timing made sense. However, the desire had been placed in Shannon’s heart years prior to this.

The reality is you are the best teacher for your child. They were knitted together in your womb, and you carry a gift to teach them better than anyone else.

    We hope this episode will encourage you to take the leap if homeschooling has been put on your heart. You can do it, and we are rooting for you!

    • Why we got into homeschooling
    • The transition to homeschooling

    Show notes

    I know it's awful to imagine anyone choking —especially our precious little ones. But it happens to families every single day, just like it happened to us.

    We were at a restaurant when our nine-month-old son choked. As a pediatric ER nurse, I’ve held too many moms who have said, “If only I would have known,” As a mom, I could have lost my own son if I wouldn’t have known what to do.

    I don’t want even one more parent to feel helpless in a life-threatening emergency.

    This is why I am over the moon excited to announce the launch of my new Parent Virtual Certification: Choking & CPR course. The link can be found below!

    Learn today so you are ready for tomorrow – because this is one emergency, you won’t have time to wait for help… and no one is more capable than YOU.

    You are doing the most important work on earth – and I’m here to serve as a resource – and one of your biggest cheerleaders.


    Episode Highlights:

    • Getting personal: Jack’s Story
    • Importance of trading panic for preparation

    9. Small Steps, Great Change: Experiencing Africa May 30, 2023
    Show notes

    For every 15 people in Zambia, 1 is an orphaned child.

    As a result, millions of children are vulnerable to abuse, neglect, malnutrition, and death.

    You may already know we partnered with My Medic to create a First Aid Kit. A portion of the sales from the kit goes to Mothers Without Borders, an organization that protects and empowers these vulnerable children.

    This partnership allowed us to travel to Zambia and meet some incredible people. We weren’t prepared to see the immensity of their needs. Still, we are grateful for the opportunity to partner with them and our listeners to continue to propel change and empower the people of Zambia.

    We would love you to listen and consider what you can do to help these vulnerable children.


    Episode Highlights:

    • Story behind our partnership with My Medic
    • More on Mothers Without Borders
    • Our experience in Africa
    • What YOU can do to make an impact

    8. Maximizing Life By Minimizing Things May 23, 2023
    Show notes

    What is consuming most of your energy?

    Think back to when you moved into your home. You were probably so excited, buying things to fill your home and decorate. But then the years went on, and more things kept piling in and taking more and more space. It happens to all of us if we’re not careful. Our homes quickly become overfilled with ‘stuff,’ and rather than bringing us joy, it brings us stress.

    So what can we do about it?

    Over the past few years, moving has required us to downsize.

    What we didn’t know was how amazing it would feel to let go of the things that were taking up too much space in our homes & our minds. Listen in today to see how this shift has truly transformed how we live.

    We hope this episode inspires you to loosen your grip on whatever is cluttering your life. It could be physical clutter in your home or an overfilled schedule. Whatever it is - you are in control and have the freedom to take hold of the peace that comes with letting go.


    Episode Highlights:

    • What is minimalism?
    • What consumes most of my energy?
    • Less is more
    • More stuff doesn’t equate to more happiness
    • Simplifying your home

    Have you ever missed out on pursuing something you really wanted to do because you hesitated to bring the kids along?
    Whether it's attending a glamorous event or simply going out for dinner, it's understandable that the thought of taking the kids can be daunting. It requires extra effort, additional time, and their behavior can be unpredictable.

    Today, Shannon and Ryan are here to offer their unique perspective on including the kids. It's not always an easy task, but the rewards can be tremendous in the long run.

    • The importance of sharing your world with your children.
