Shan Tripp spent several years as a pediatric emergency room nurse and now has moved her family

across the big Pacific Ocean to live full-time in Hawaii and homeschool her four kids.

Today she shares with me all of her top tips for keeping your kiddos safe at home after

years of taking care of kids who wound up in the ER at Salt Lake's Primary Children's Hospital,

along with some really beautiful advice about trusting a mother's intuition and truly enjoying

the moments that pass so quickly between mother and child.

Okay, today I have a friend calling in from the warm tropical shores of Hawaii, and her name is Shannon Tripp,

or she also goes by Shan, and she is the newer internet friend of mine. Say hi, Shan.

Hi, you guys. Thank you for having me, Corin.

Thanks so much for being here. And she, I actually found out about Shan through our mutual friend,

Kylie Kaywood, who was an ER nurse with you, however many years ago, right, at the University,

no, not University of Utah at, primary children's. Primary children. Yeah, that's right. So,

she just had the most wonderful things to say about you. And I feel like I've learned a lot from

just following you on Instagram and seeing all of the heartwarming things that you post and the

educational things that you share with moms. So today we're just going to talk about

being a confident mom and being educated and learning some things that, you know,

can help you in your motherhood journey. And so I'm really excited about it. And I think that

there are so many parents who will listen to this and gain a lot from it. So let's just get

into how you even got started with all of this.

Yeah.

So I've been a pediatric ear nurse for over 10 years.

And in the beginning, I mean, you just learned so much within those walls. And your perspective in life and as a mom are completely shifted.
