Reframing Travel FOMO: Episode 355



Does it feel like everyone else (but you) is going on fancy vacations all the time? Will your spring break look more like a staycation than a sandy beach? Social media seems to make it worse, but the envy that arises when looking at someone else’s vacay pics is as old as time! In this episode, Meagan and Sarah are busting some common travel myths and talking about how to deal with the feelings that sometimes pop up when all your people are (seemingly) jetting off to one fun destination after another. We also chat about how to make memories closer to home and how being intentional about stepping outside your normal routine can matter way more than the dollars you spend. If you need some downtime–minus the guilt or a giant price tag–this episode is for you. 

LINKS MENTIONED:

  • This article, “Other People’s Great Vacations Don’t Have to Get to You” is still super relevant. 
  • Sarah chatted about planning in this Voices episode with Christine Koh and Sarah Hart-Unger.
