I know it's not just me, because I keep hearing it from y'all too. Family vacations are not for the weak. With aging parents, that's one whole other thing I didn't even mention, they just can't organize and run our circus anymore. Beyond that, the life sucking energy that happens when extended family gets together, is trying to take us all out!
After a hella frustrating trip to Colorado, I took notes on what made this trip such a mess for me and what needs to change for "next time" (that's a solid maybe). In this episode I cover:
Pre-trip red flags.
Expectation Management.
My waning interest in participating in everyone else's, eh hem, stuff.
Structure I need.
New Boundaries to implement.
Goals for the future
This episode is food for thought after your disaster of a vacation this summer or hopefully a preemptive strike for the holidays and upcoming trips!
