Mom Spring Break:

I needed it more than I imagined and if I could say anything to you, it would be, “Don’t wait!”

Jobshare Revolution Podcast Episode 34: Mom Spring Break: Why Every Mom Deserves a Solo Trip (And Why I Regret Waiting 18 Years!)Moms, it’s time to give yourself permission to take a break—by yourself! In this special episode, I’m sharing one of the most unexpected and empowering experiences of my life: taking a solo trip during spring break. After 18 years of motherhood, I finally learned the value of carving out space for myself, and I’m here to tell you why every mom deserves this kind of self-care—and why I regret waiting so long.

Why This Episode Matters Now

If you’re anything like me, you may have felt the constant pressure to be everything for everyone. But here’s the truth: you can’t pour from an empty cup. Taking time away from the daily grind is a game-changer for your mental and emotional health—and for your family’s well-being too.

If you’re a mom who’s been considering a solo trip (or just some time to yourself), this episode is your permission slip. Let’s explore why it’s so important to unplug and reconnect with you.

In Episode 34, I share:

  • The life-changing reasons why I decided to take a solo vacation away from my family.
  • How giving yourself permission to be alone can recharge your spirit and make you a better version of yourself (for you and your family).
  • Why I wish I’d done this sooner, and how a solo trip can actually benefit your entire family dynamic..
  • What I learned from spending a couple of days totally by myself—and how it can inspire you to carve out moments for yourself, too.
