It's summer, the kids are out of school, what are your expectations for the next few months? And what are your vacation expectations? Risa Williams and Erica Curtis look at how our expectations for summer vacations sometimes lead us to feel high levels of stress, tension, and frustration. Why does this happen when all we want to do is have fun and finally relax?

They discuss:
-How we set ourselves up with unrealistic summer expectations
-Simplifying down our expectations and getting into the present moment more
-Navigating conflict, anger, and frustration on family trips
-Learning to stay flexible with family plans and experiences
-Getting more strategic and practical about predicting roadblocks
