Crazy? A little. Worth it? YES! Driving 14 hours to meet: The Bucketlist Family

50min | 09/02/2025

Description

All the way from one end of a country to the end of another. To say: Thank you for inspiring us. This is a story about doing the crazy things. About meeting your heros, the people that inspire you and probably change the course of your life, even just a little. It's about trusting that inner spark of yours, that is taking you exactly to where you need to be. If you’ve ever had a dream that felt crazy or made no sense to others, I hope this episode gives you the courage to follow it anyway. Because sometimes, maybe even always, those wild-hearted choices? They’re exactly those, that lead us to where and who we need to be in life.

In this episode I'm sharing that time, when we got to meet The Bucketlist Family: Jessica, Garrett, Dorothy, Manilla and Calihan Gee. A family that inspired us to live our dreams, to follow our pure intentions and to live every day like it is a Saturday. Their impact on us, on me especially, had been huge: through their videos I began to see a shift in how I saw life as a mother - in the best way possible. Never meet your heros? Well, we did and it was worth every mile and hour.

About Her Heart full of Dreams

Welcome to a cozy, inspiring corner of the podcast world, where dreams are cherished, struggles are embraced, and hope always finds a way. Her Heart Full of Dreams is your sanctuary for rediscovering joy, finding inspiration, and feeling truly seen—even in the hardest of times. Join Bettina, a fellow dreamer and storyteller, as she shares her heartfelt journey—from moving to France to navigating a long and emotional infertility journey, and even writing her own book. Through the highs and lows, and with a sprinkle of real-life fairy dust, Bettina creates a space where you’ll feel validated, inspired, and ready to take on the world. And while English isn’t her mother tongue (so expect the occasional slip-up) her stories come straight from the heart—and that’s what matters most!
