What if your family didn’t have to choose between giving your kids stability and giving them the world? In this episode, Sandy & Wade sit down with Elodie Ferchaud, co-founder of Boundless Life and a Mom of four who has spent years raising her family across different countries and cultures. They unpack what it actually looks like to build a life where your kids can learn from the world around them without sacrificing education, community or your career. Elodie shares her family’s journey into global living, what she’s learned raising children across cultures, and why she believes travel can shape kids into more curious, adaptable and connected human beings. They also dive into the questions almost every parent has when they hear about worldschooling: What about school? Friends? Stability? Community? Work? And is this kind of lifestyle actually realistic for a normal family? The conversation also explores the story behind Boundless Life, which creates communities around the world where families can live, parents can work, and kids can attend school while becoming immersed in another culture. This episode is especially personal for Wade and Sandy because they’re about to take the leap themselves. In 2027, they’re taking their three kids to Europe and beginning their own worldschooling journey with Boundless Life. Not because they’re trying to escape their current life, but because they want to expand it. To show their kids that there are a lot of ways to build a beautiful life. To turn the world into their classroom. To experience different cultures, people and perspectives together. And because growth and learning shouldn’t stop when you become an adult either. If you’ve ever wondered what it would look like to take your family somewhere new, live differently for a season, or simply question some of the assumptions we inherit about how life is “supposed” to look, this conversation will get you thinking. The world is a big place. Maybe we’re supposed to experience more of it.

In this episode, we sit down with Angie from Brain Code Centers to talk all things neurofeedback, brain mapping, trauma, anxiety, sleep, reactivity, and peak performance. This conversation hit home for both of us in very different ways. For Sandy, neurofeedback became part of her postpartum healing journey and a tool to help with anxiety, trauma, sleep, and becoming less reactive as a mom. For Wade, it opened up a whole new lens on brain optimization, creativity, focus, flow state, and the idea of not leaving potential on the table. We talk about what neurofeedback actually is, how brain mapping works, what it can reveal about your unique wiring, and how the brain can be trained to build new neural pathways through reward-based conditioning. Angie also shares powerful stories of transformation, from anxiety and sleep struggles to travel fears, brain injury recovery, and performance gains. We also get into how differently our brains are wired, how understanding that has brought more compassion into our marriage, and why your brain is not something you’re just stuck with. It can change. It can heal. And it can work better for you. If you’ve ever wondered why you react the way you do, why your brain feels stuck in survival mode, or whether there’s more potential available to you than you’re currently accessing, this episode is for you.

In episode five of Getting Magnetic, Sandy and Wade sit down with Dr. Carl Bonnett, founder of Klarisana, to talk about the treatment that became one of the biggest turning points in Sandy’s healing journey. After postpartum psychosis, deep depression, trauma, fear, and months of feeling like she was fighting just to make it through each day, ketamine therapy became a doorway to relief, perspective, and real healing. Sandy opens up about what it actually felt like to walk into treatment terrified, what she experienced during her sessions, and how those moments helped her process trauma, grief, identity loss, and the crushing weight she had been carrying in her body and mind. This conversation goes far beyond mental health treatment. It is about pain, surrender, healing, rebirth, and what can happen when someone finally finds a path that helps them come back to themselves. Dr. Bonnett also shares his story, what led him to this work, how ketamine therapy works, who it may be for, and why he believes true healing is not just symptom management, but a profound shift in the way we see ourselves, our story, and what is possible.
