In this episode, I sit down with Lee Friedman—former lawyer, mom of two, and founder of Mango Tree Travel—to talk about how she transitioned from a 15-year legal career into the world of family travel entrepreneurship.
Lee shares how motherhood changed her perspective on travel, how COVID reshaped her career path, and what inspired her to build a resource for parents who want to enjoy traveling with kids (yes, it’s possible!).
We also talk about:
✨ The unexpected journey from law to lifestyle freedom
✨ Why parenting didn’t come naturally—and how travel helped
✨ Real-life advice for moms navigating career changes
✨ How to make family vacations less stressful and more meaningful
If you're a mom juggling kids, a career pivot, or dreaming of your next family getaway, this episode is for you.
