They Created The #1 Kids Show On Youtube: Elizabeth Higgins-Clark & Lauren Pomerantz

Tue, 12 May 2026 09:00:00 -0000

In this episode of the Roamaroo Podcast, we sit down with two of the most creative people we know, Elizabeth Higgins-Clark and Lauren Pomerantz. Lauren is an Emmy Award–winning writer who has worked on The Ellen DeGeneres Show and Saturday Night Live, and Elizabeth is a writer, actress, and the granddaughter of the legendary Mary Higgins Clark. Together, they created Wooby and Fotty, now the #1 kids show on YouTube, a musical puppet series about two security blankets helping little kids navigate big feelings. We talk about what it takes to build a creative show from scratch, what it’s like to work together as a married couple, and how they manage to travel with twins along for the ride.

Parenting in Italy vs. the U.S. And Why Coming Home Felt So Hard

Tue, 05 May 2026 09:00:00 -0000

In this episode of the Roamaroo Podcast, we unpack what it really felt like to come back to the United States after months in Italy, and why the hardest part wasn’t leaving, but returning. This conversation digs deep into the differences between parenting in Italy versus parenting in the United States. We discuss how place shapes identity, what it means to raise kids in a system versus in a culture, and how Italy impacted our parenting style. We share how our experience with Boundless Life challenged our assumptions about education and daily life and we ask a bigger question: is Italy a better fit for our family?

Worldschooling in Italy: Our Boundless Life Journey

Tue, 10 Mar 2026 09:00:00 -0000

In this episode of The Roamaroo Podcast, Scott and Collette explore what worldschooling really looks like on the ground in Italy with Boundless Life, beyond the highlight reel and into daily life.

We talk about why we chose Italy, how the Boundless Life program blends structure with curiosity, and what it feels like to watch children learn through culture, community, and real-world experience rather than worksheets alone.

This conversation dives into the emotional side of alternative education too: the questions parents wrestle with, the courage it takes to step off the traditional path, and how slowing down can regulate both kids and adults. It’s not about rejecting school as we know it, but expanding the definition of education, and trusting that when children feel safe, connected, and inspired, learning happens everywhere.

The Packing Episode - How Overpacking Makes Everything Harder

Tue, 30 Dec 2025 10:00:00 -0000

In this episode, we explore packing light with kids and why it has reshaped the way our family travels. We return to a moment in Cinque Terre, Italy, when a rogue wave drenched us and every perfectly packed item we carried, a reminder that preparation can only take you so far. The rest requires adaptability.

We explain why we are firmly #TeamCarryOn, even with children, and why overpacking is often anxiety disguised as organization. More belongings do not make travel smoother. They increase cognitive load, amplify stress, and quietly pull us out of the present moment. We also reflect on how packing less gives children agency, teaching them responsibility and confidence through choice.

Ultimately, this episode reframes packing as a practice in trust. Packing light is not about deprivation. It is about freedom. It is about letting go of control and making room for presence, resilience, and the kind of travel that teaches us who we are.

Do You Want to Vacation or Do You Want to Travel? The Honest Truth About Travel with Kids

Tue, 23 Dec 2025 18:45:00 -0000

In this episode, we tackle the question so many parents think but rarely say out loud: is traveling with kids actually enjoyable, or is it just parenting in a different location? We react to a viral video that struck a nerve and reflect on our earliest trips as parents, the ones marked by fear, second-guessing, and that heavy feeling of doing it all without a safety net.

We unpack the difference between vacation and travel, and explore how the loss of the village in modern parenting has made everything feel harder, including leaving home. When you are carrying the logistics, the gear, and the emotional weight alone, even the idea of travel can feel overwhelming.

But we believe family travel is not about performing or getting it right. Confidence does not come before the trip, it comes because of it. You do not wait until fear disappears. You move forward with it. The goal is not perfection. It is presence, participation, and building resilient families one imperfect trip at a time.

The Future of Disabled Travel: How TravelMates Is Redefining Accessibility

Wed, 12 Nov 2025 17:55:00 -0000

In this episode of the Roamaroo Podcast, we sit down with Seth Picconi, a former compliance officer who spent 15 years ensuring people followed the laws and regulations that govern global finance—before turning that same precision and purpose toward a more human mission. When Seth’s father suffered a stroke and became disabled, travel suddenly looked different through his family’s eyes. That experience inspired him to create TravelMates, a company dedicated to making travel more accessible for people with disabilities. Drawing on his international background and years living in Australia, Seth shares how his global perspective shaped his family’s ethos, why he walked away from corporate life, and how he’s now working to bring accountability, equity, and empathy to the world of accessible travel.

Tue, 25 Feb 2025 10:00:00 -0000

Collette and Scott sit down with Dawn Huckelbridge, director of Paid Leave for All, to discuss the urgent need for paid family leave in the U.S., the only developed country in the world without a national policy. Dawn shares her personal story of founding the advocacy group, driven by her own caregiving experiences and the lack of support for workers.

The conversation highlights how paid leave benefits not only workers and families but also strengthens businesses and the economy.

The episode also delves into the challenges of pushing for policy change and the steps needed to ensure paid leave becomes a reality for all, making it clear that paid leave is not just a family issue, but a vital economic and social issue for the future of the country.
