How do you actually stay connected when your spouse is on the road? And what do you do if it feels like they're "too busy" to show up for you?

In this episode, I'm sharing my real-life routines and rhythms our family uses to stay connected when my husband travels - from living by our Google calendars to FaceTime calls and texting in-the-moment photos. I'll also touch on the one red flag you don't want to ignore if connection feels one-sided.

Husband traveling for work again?

Do you call yourself a married, single mom?

Are you caught up in all the negatives of being married to traveling spouse?

When your partner is away, it's easy to spiral into a pit of negativity and focus on all the things that are missing. In this episode, I introduce the concept of glimmers - small moments of joy or safety that can shift your mindset and help you stay grounded in the good. You'll learn the difference between triggers and glimmers, how to start spotting them in your every day life, and I share a simple practice you can do right now to bring more joy to your days! Plus, I share my "micro win of the week" as a reminder to celebrate the small moments.

Is your traveling partner missing your kid's birthday again this year?

Who says you have to celebrate only on the calendar date?

In this episode, I'm talking about giving yourself permission to celebrate birthdays, holidays, and other special moments on the days that work for your family. Whether that means celebrating when your traveling spouse is home, celebrating twice, or shifting traditions to work for your unique lifestyle - you get to make it work. It's time to drop the pressure of "right date" and focus on what really matters: creating joy-filled moments that work for your family!
