234. Vacation Without The Work Guilt: 15 Real Tips for Working Moms to Log Off and Be Present Throwback with Bonuses


Listen Later

Hi Mamas,

Today’s episode is a throwback with extra bonus tips... and is your official permission slip to log off, power down, and actually enjoy your vacation. Whether you’re heading off for a week at the beach, a big international trip like our Ireland adventure, or just a staycation with your people—this episode is for every mom who wants to be fully present without checking her inbox under the beach umbrella.

I’m walking you through 15 practical tips to help you prep, protect your peace, and actually enjoy your time off without guilt, work FOMO, or that awful “I should just check one thing really quick” spiral.

✨ What You’ll Learn:

✅ How to prep your team, manager, and projects in advance so you can truly unplug

✅ The exact language to set boundaries (and how to deal with managers who push back)
✅ What to include in your out-of-office reply so you don’t come back to chaos
✅ Why deleting your work apps from your phone is a total game-changer
✅ How to leave your future self a return plan that reduces re-entry anxiety
✅ BONUS: How to set a gratitude intention to stay grounded during your trip (especially when your kids start fighting over who touched who first 😂)

Whether you’re counting down to PTO or dreaming of the next break, this episode will help you create space to breathe and reconnect…with your family and yourself.

📲 Take Action

If you’re taking time off soon, save this episode and re-listen while you’re packing your bags. And don’t forget to grab the  Tech Time-Out for Moms Guide to help you set digital boundaries and protect your peace—because scrolling Instagram while your kids are asking you to swim is not the memory you want to make. 🙃
