À propos de cet audio
Most families think inside the box. They are raised to be normal, to want normal things, like a house in the suburbs with 2.5 kids, stable employment, and a weeks vacation once a year. And most people are very content with this lifestyle. However, there are some people who want more for themselves and their families. And then there are even fewer people who actually go out and make it happen.
This anthology is dedicated to telling the stories of those families.
In Outside the Box, you will listen to chapters written by nine contributing authors, each of whom is a female entrepreneur, mom, and world traveler. Authors have committed to sharing their families journeys in the hopes of educating and inspiring other travel-loving moms.
Authors: Nancy Schmidt, Dawn Allcot, Casey Hearne, Dalene King, Lauren Liberto, Cathy Carpenter Tallone, Brianna Harper, Buffie Diaz, and Sara Tyler
They write about topics such as:
- Entrepreneurship
- Meaningful travel within the United States
- Relocating Abroad
- Alternative education (homeschooling, worldschooling, roadschooling, etc.)
- Work/life balance as business owners and parents
And many more obstacles that come up when you have a family.
The stories are collected in a multi-author book format. Multi-author books feature a group of authors and each is responsible for writing one chapter. That means that you, the listener, receive the benefit of different points of views and experiences surrounding the topic of the book.

*Entrepreneurship and Work-Life Balance*
One of the central themes of the book is the intersection of entrepreneurship and family life. Each author delves into how they manage their businesses while traveling and homeschooling their children. The stories are not just about the successes but also the challenges and obstacles they face. This honest portrayal makes the book relatable and inspiring for anyone considering a similar lifestyle.
*Alternative Education*

The authors provide practical advice and share their experiences on how they educate their children while on the move. This section is particularly valuable for parents who are contemplating alternative education methods but are unsure where to start.
*Meaningful Travel*
Travel is another significant theme in the book. The authors discuss how they make travel meaningful for their families, whether it's through cultural immersion, volunteering, or simply spending quality time together. The emphasis is on creating enriching experiences rather than just ticking off tourist destinations.
Narration
Jess Rosenfield's narration adds an extra layer of depth to the audiobook. Her clear and engaging voice makes it easy to follow the different stories and keeps the listener hooked. Rosenfield's ability to convey the emotions and nuances of each author's journey enhances the overall listening experience.

The stories are incredibly inspiring. The authors' courage to step outside the conventional norms and create a life that aligns with their values is motivating. The book encourages readers to think outside the box and consider what is truly important to them and their families.
Weaknesses

Given the multiple-author format, there is some repetition in the themes and advice offered. While each author's story is unique, the overarching themes of entrepreneurship, travel, and alternative education are consistent throughout the book. This can make some sections feel repetitive.
*Lack of Depth in Some Areas*
While the book covers a broad range of topics, some areas could benefit from more depth. For instance, the chapters on alternative education provide a good overview but could delve deeper into specific methods and curricula.
