E5 - How to Survive a Family Vacation | Jersey Shore Edition

Making Better Grownups

Y'all, family vacations are no joke! In this week's episode, I'm spilling the awkward, messy details from my first beach trip with my parents. Trust me, it was a doozy.
I'll share my funniest stories about crop-dusting family members, motels from the 50s, surviving the windy ass beach, and creating space and time to be with the ones you love and also ALONE! You'll hear all the ways I tried to make it through with my sanity intact - and what worked (or didn't!).
I'll give you a peek behind the scenes at the sticky kids, sand everywhere, and how I managed to find joy amongst the mess. You'll get my best tips for packing right, scheduling relaxation, keeping expectations realistic, and embracing the adventure. Vacation takes strategy!
No judgement here! I've been there and learned A LOT. Tune in for a mix of relatable moments and super practical advice to help your next family trip feel a little more like paradise all while laughing at my expense. Grab your spray tan safe sunscreen and let's do this!
