231. The Best Things in Life Aren’t Things: A Summer Vacation Mindset Reset for Working Moms


Listen Later

Hey mama,

This week’s Monday Mindset is for anyone who’s ever lost themselves in the packing lists, matching outfits, and never-ending to-dos… and needed a gentle reminder that the real magic isn’t in the plan…it’s in the moment.

In today’s episode, I’m sharing a personal story as I prepare for a meaningful trip to Ireland with my family... celebrating my mama’s 80th birthday, reconnecting with family across the globe, and showing my kids the beauty of their heritage. And it’s all wrapped around one powerful quote:

“The best things in life aren’t things—they’re moments.”

So whether you’re headed out on a big trip or simply soaking up summer from your backyard, this is your permission slip to slow down and be present.

Here’s what we’re talking about in this episode:

✔️ Why perfection can steal your joy… and what to do instead
✔️ The emotional power of simple, everyday moments
✔️ How to ground yourself in gratitude during family travel
✔️ A mindset shift to help you release the pressure to “do it all”
✔️ My challenge to you for creating sacred, connected memories this summer

💖 This Week’s Mindset Challenge

Choose one moment each day this week to be fully present…with no distractions.
That means no phones, no multitasking, no mental grocery lists.
Just you, your people, and the moment that matters.
Dance in the kitchen. Laugh till you snort. Sip your coffee and breathe it all in.

Then, if you feel inspired, come share it in our Facebook community Work-Life Balance for Working Moms so we can celebrate those everyday wins with you!

✨Because mama… your kids won’t remember the brand of luggage.

They’ll remember the giggles, the mess, the love, the way you looked them in the eyes and made them feel seen. The best souvenirs are the ones that don’t fit in a suitcase.
