Vacation with Kids? How to Prep Without the Usual Guilt and Rush

Ever notice how the days leading up to a family vacation feel more stressful than regular workweeks? Between packing lists, project deadlines, and sky-high expectations, many ambitious moms end up exhausted before the trip even begins.

In this episode, we unpack why vacation prep can feel overwhelming — and why it’s okay if not everything gets done. You’ll learn practical ways to stay grounded, set realistic expectations, and prepare for those “vacation moments” that don’t feel so relaxing (like sibling fights or clashing interests). We’ll also talk about why your body is the best tool to shift from rush to resourceful — before, during, and after your time away.

Need more support around rest and recovery? Don’t miss Episode 22 where we explore why doing nothing feels so hard and how to reclaim your right to rest in a culture that glorifies productivity.

Tune in for calm, clarity, and a little less chaos — even before you hit the road.
