25. Backpacking with a 5 Year Old - Mum's Talk with Janina Breitling
Manage episode 482632624 series 3640866
Building a Life and Biz On The Road
What would it take to quit your job, sell everything, and travel the world for six years - with your kid in tow?
In today’s inspiring Mum's Talk episode, I’m joined by Janina Breitling: mother, adventurer, entrepreneur, and founder of the sustainable menstrual product brand Nookees. Together, we dive into her story of leaving behind a stable freelance journalism career to give her son a different kind of education - one built on experience, connection, and a deep respect for the world.
We talk about:
How Janina prepared for a global trip with her five-year-old
What worldschooling actually looked like in practice
Starting a mission-driven product business from a kitchen table in Bali
Creating the Nookees Foundation and tackling period poverty across three continents
Motherhood, identity, and how to follow your instincts (even when everyone says you’re crazy)
Whether you’ve ever dreamt of leaving it all behind or you just need a dose of bravery and bold motherhood, this one’s for you.
