In this episode, I'll show you how to have a family vacation that is full of fun, connection, and peace as you create incredible memories with your family.
And it starts with accepting that it doesn't have to be perfect!
You'll learn why vacations are important and how to cultivate precisely what you need out of it.
Can we be honest here? Vacations can be exhausting. Going on adventures and trying to relax with family doesn't always meet our expectations. Sometimes we can even feel more disconnected and wiped out after our time to 'relax'.
So I'm going to share some strategies that I had to use last month while on Vacation with my family. I went from feeling the internal chaos bubbling up to taking back control over creating the vacation we needed.
Today you'll learn:
- How embracing the 50/50 of life (on vacations) will help you have more peace
- The Three things you want to cultivate on a vacation
- How to communicate about your vacation wants and needs ahead of time
- How to recover after a vacation fight
- How to understand the dynamics between your partner and your inlaws.
- How to prioritize relaxation when you have teens ... or young kids.
What I'm sharing today works! Tune in to hear how I implemented it on our trip to Hawaii last month!
