Hello, thanks for joining our community. Please introduce yourself to the group and tell us what you're curious about right now. Or, share what's holding you back from trying something new. We'll start. We're Carrie and Jess, the CJ of The CJ Way. After spending 25 years as an editor and 15 years as a nanny, we're looking forward to helping you try new pursuits and make your dreams a reality.

If you’ve ever wondered what actually keeps kids happy on long flights or road trips … this is the video to watch. It’s a fresh, fun angle on family travel — because kids know better than anyone what actually keeps them calm yet busy on long adventures.

We’re kicking off something special inside The CJ Community — a new series called Training for Our Future Selves. It’s all about building the confidence, stamina, and everyday habits that make future adventures feel possible, joyful, and fun. Let’s train for our future selves, together. Carrie is sharing how she builds travel stamina long before she ever steps into an airport, and Jess is showing us her EDS‑friendly approach to gentle movement and pacing. What can you do today for your future self? — Carrie & Jess The CJ Way
