An American Mom's Perspective on French Lifestyle and Parenting with Caroline Vignolet

Have you ever wondered about the differences in parenting, food, and lifestyle habits between the United States and France? Then join us on a journey, as we converse with Caroline Vignolet, a U.S.-born real estate agent who has made France her home. She offers us a fresh perspective on how the slower, more deliberate pace of life in France has transformed her views on wellness, parenting, food, and cultural norms.
We delve into the stark contrasts and surprising similarities between the two nations, particularly around their educational systems and food habits. From the French's more relaxed approach to education, to their unhurried meal times and the intriguing differences between McDonald's Happy Meals on both sides of the Atlantic. We further examine how French culture encourages its people to fully utilize their vacation days and to spend quality time with family and friends. Ever heard of taking a sabbatical every four months? It's a thing in France, and it seems to result in a greater sense of purpose and fulfillment.
As we navigate the nuances of parenting across these two cultures, Caroline shares her personal experiences and insights on how living in France has shaped her perspective on wellness and self-care. She opens up about the pressures and pleasures of being a mom and the importance of carving out time for oneself. If you're looking to change gears, slow down and embrace a more fulfilling lifestyle, tune into this episode to learn the art of living, the French way.
