Traveling Spouses / Traveling Selves (Part 2): Episode 37



Last we talked about traveling spouses; this week’s episode is all about what happens when MOM is the one taking off for a trip. Whether you travel rarely or regularly, we hope you’ll join us for a great discussion on the prep, the guilt (or lack thereof!), and the logistics of leaving your kids.

No need to listen to Part 1 in this series first, but if you want to, it’s right here.

LINKS MENTIONED:

  • Going away–without the kids? Feeling guilty or worried? Read this.
  • Guilt? Worry? Fear? Which is it, and how to deal.
  • On the other hand…NOT leaving your kids is not weird.
  • 5 reasons why Mom going away can be GOOD for kids
