Before summer slips by in a blur of camps, carpools, and "we should plan something…," Heather and Katie are here to help you actually protect a week that restores your energy instead of draining it. In this episode, we talk about how to plan a summer getaway that brings connection and joy instead of stress and burnout. Wey explore why putting something on the calendar instantly shifts your mood — especially when everyone's running on fumes by June — and walk through five key questions to ask before booking anything, from deciding what kind of energy you need (beach nap, mountain reset, city adventure) to clarifying who the trip is really for, what memory you want to create, and what budget actually feels good. We also unpack common planning pitfalls (overpacking the itinerary, Instagram comparison, coming home more exhausted than when you left). The big takeaway: vacation isn't about escape — it's about intentionally protecting time to recharge and create moments that matter.
