Family travel that supports ADHD, Autism & Anxiety is a podcast for families who love to travel and are raising children with big feelings, behavioral challenges, and neurodiverse needs.

Hosted by Josette Bianchi—a board-certified pediatrician, mom of three, and travel lover—this show shares practical tips, real-life experiences, and supportive strategies for traveling with kids who don’t always fit the typical mold.

Most episodes follow a simple 3-2-1 format: three places to explore, two places to eat, and one helpful travel tip for families in a featured location. Along the way, we’ll also dive into topics and/or interviews covering sensory-friendly travel planning, managing behavior challenges on the go, flying with neurodiverse kids, and choosing destinations that support flexibility and fun, and more.

This podcast isn’t about curating perfect trips. It’s about adapting, adjusting, and finding what works for your family—because travel can be meaningful, empowering, and even joyful when we stop comparing and start connecting.

Whether you're planning your first family getaway or you're already seasoned travelers, this podcast is here to help you feel seen, supported, and inspired to wander without limits.
