In Episode 4 of You Came to the Right Place, co-hosts Natasha Lair and Jen Mallia sit down with Canadian media personality, travel writer, and parenting expert Kathy Buckworth to unpack one of the biggest trends advisors are navigating right now: multi-generational travel.

Fresh off a trip to Club Med in the Dominican Republic, Buckworth shares what really happens when you put three generations on one vacation—from car seats on planes to splitting suitcases with diapers and formula. The conversation dives into the logistics advisors don’t always see, the emotional dynamics at play, and why destination familiarity matters.

“Who needs more naps—granddad or the baby?”

Buckworth brings real credibility, and this is not another fluffy “multi-gen travel is trending” conversation—it’s what actually happens when you put grandparents, adult kids, and toddlers on one trip (tantrums, logistics, exhaustion), alongside practical takeaways advisors can use.
