Meagan recently returned from a two-week road trip across French Canada with 17-year-old Clara, where the two explored the places their ancestors once called home.

In this episode, Sarah asks all the questions: What does an ancestry road trip actually look like? How do you prepare? What would you do differently next time? What moments felt surprisingly emotional, and what unexpected discoveries happened along the way?

From scheduling genealogy tours to striking out at graveyards to walking the actual block where their great-great-great+ grandmothers lived, you’ll hear about Meagan and Clara’s trip…and maybe be inspired to plan your own!

From solving song lyrics we’ve mis-sung for decades (Beauty School Dropout, anyone?) to amazing business ideas to wildly improbable disaster scenarios, midlife minds have a way of serving up the most…interesting thoughts at the least convenient time.
