We are so excited to be back on the podcast this week! We had an incredible summer traveling through France, spending much needed and cherished time with friends and family, and just taking a break from creating content (except for Liz's reels on Instagram, of course!). In this episode, we're sharing a recap of our travel adventures, reflections from our downtime, and what's next for us this fall.

Some key takeaways from this episode include:

• Slow down! Living for several weeks in the villages of the beautiful countryside of France reminded us to slow down, continue to eat and shop local, and embrace the lessons and values and experiences of another culture.

• We can't emphasize enough the "vacation mentality" that we adopt when we travel. You have to go with the flow and embrace changes in the itinerary (like your rental car breaking down and deciding to book a different hotel last minute!). You'll enjoy the trip so much more this way.

• While we were in France, some major election events happened both in France and in the United States. It was really cool to witness it abroad and ignited some excitement for the election in the U.S. this fall. Get out and vote!
