SundanceFamily – Our first sign of life in years….

Yes, it’s really us. The Sundancefamily is back!

We started as pioneers in 2008 with our online journey and were the first Family Travel Vloggers, the first RawFoodFamily, the firt YouTuberts in Costa Rica… there were so many firsts!
But we got recognized everywhere we went, and felt not good about it, especially because of the kids. So we retreated and became silkent.

And after years of silence, we’re finally showing signs of life again. And not just any kind of life — we’re back!
We are not only doing videos, but also are launching our very first international podcast.
So there will be Videos, Podcasts and written words- all combined here on this blog! It feels big, exciting, and also a little surreal. A lot has happened since we were last active online.

So where have we been?

The short version: We’ve been living.

The real version? Keep reading.

Life, Offline

For the past years, we’ve stepped away from the public eye — intentionally, completely, and with love.

As a family of eight (yes, still six kids and counting no more), we knew we needed space. Real space. Not more social content or digital juggling, but time for our family to just be. To grow. To breathe.

No posts, no updates, no reels. Just long days together, discovering new places, cooking weird foods in tiny kitchens, and learning way more from life than from any screen.

We Traveled, But Not to Show It

Our life continued to unfold across the world — beaches, forests, mountains, and markets. But this time, we didn’t share it. No curated photos. No polished captions.

We woke up for sunrises and left the camera off. We had deep, spontaneous conversations with our kids that no one else ever heard. We cried, we laughed, we fought over whose turn it was to pack the snacks.

And through it all, we were just together. Fully.

Some people said we disappeared.

But honestly, it felt like we arrived.

Why We’re Coming Back Now

Something shifted recently. Quietly, but clearly. The inner voice got louder. The sense of timing clicked into place.

We’re ready. Ready to reconnect. Ready to share again. Not because we feel pressured, or because an algorithm said we should. But because it feels aligned. It feels joyful.

Our kids are older now. We’ve changed, too. What we do, how we live, how we serve — it’s all evolved.

And now we’re ready to open that door again and invite you in.

What We’re Doing Now

We work 100% energetically now. And you will be hearing from me from hereonout. Katie and Kids will stay in the background, so we can be more private as a family.

That means all the work we do — guiding, mentoring, creating — is based on energy. On resonance. On deep intuition and real presence. We work with people who feel called to something more. More connection. More honesty. More purpose.

And we’ve found that the more we trust the flow, the deeper the work goes. We’ve also found that people are craving this. Not the “how-to” answers, but the real conversations. The ones that don’t always have a clear script or shiny takeaway. The ones where we remember we’re human.

Which is exactly why we’re starting this podcast.

Our First Podcast Episode Is Live

Our very first episode is now out — and it’s raw, real, and completely from the heart.

In it, we talk about:

•Why we disappeared for two years

•What we’ve learned in that quiet space

•How we’ve grown as a family

•Why we now work energetically, not conventionally

•And what’s next for us

You might hear a kid laughing in the background. Or birds. Or silence. That’s just life, as it is. No filters. No edits.

And that’s exactly how we want to begin.

Thank You for Being Here

If you’re still here — whether you’ve followed us for years or you just stumbled across us today — thank you. We’re genuinely grateful. The last few years have been a lot for so many of us. And the truth is, we don’t need more noise. We need more depth.

We’re back not to “produce content,” but to connect. To share real moments. Real learning. Real life.

This podcast is our first step. And we’re excited for what’s ahead.

Let’s Walk This Road Together

If something in this resonates with you, we invite you to listen. To share. To reach out. Maybe you’ve been through your own quiet season. Maybe you’re feeling a shift too.

Wherever you are — you’re not alone.

Our podcast is just the beginning. More conversations are coming. More insight. More community. And definitely more stories from the wild, wonderful ride of living and learning with six kids around the world.

You can listen to our first episode here: https://open.spotify.com/episode/7gevgzC61PCixGQr1ZpAtJ?si=N_ObH3tMSBq7aamN_0AXZw

With love, light, and a heart full of gratitude,

Chris and family
