Shutdowns, re-openings, surges, and guidelines . . . so much has changed since the COVID-19 Pandemic crashed into our lives two years ago. And it’s bringing up all feelings. In this More Than Mom episode, Meagan and Sarah have a lighter (but still honest!) look back on things like our final outings, strongest pandemic memories, and shared experiences. What do we really remember, and are our recollections even accurate? We also share what we’re eager to get back to and what will never be the same. We’ll all be processing these squiggly feelings for a long time, and we think this reflection–on both the surreal and the sweet–is a good start.

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?
