19. How One Family Sailed the World With 5 Kids — and Loved It

This episode first aired under the original name, The Parenting Reset Show. Now we are the Single Parenting Reset podcast–supporting single parents of tweens and teens with real talk on screen time, communication and managing behavior.

What would happen if you traded your house for a sailboat — and raised five kids at sea for a decade?

In this episode, Tess Connolly talks with Tanya Hackney about the extraordinary journey her family took when they swapped suburban life for a sailing adventure around the world. From homeschooling on the ocean to navigating social life in foreign ports, Tanya shares what it really takes to make such a bold lifestyle work — and the surprising lessons they learned along the way.

• Discover practical strategies for raising kids in small spaces without sacrificing independence or privacy.
• Learn how to replace screen time and consumer culture with experiences that strengthen family bonds.
• Hear first-hand how to navigate the transition from adventure-filled travel back to everyday life.

Press play and be inspired by Tanya’s story of courage, creativity, and connection — and how living differently can transform your family’s future.
