Description

Family trips aren’t vacations. They’re rollercoasters—packed with logistics, too many personalities, and unmet expectations.

In this episode, we dive into what a request for chips can reveal about expectations, irritation, and presence

Plus, the creative shift behind the podcast, and what it means to keep showing up as a dad, husband, and creator when life changes.

Highlights:

  • The difference between a vacation and a family trip
  • Why unmet expectations lead to frustration
  • Coaching insight: how to adjust your mindset before a trip
  • A new lens for managing energy, responsibility, and gratitude

Take Action:

Before your next trip (or even your next weekend), pause and check your expectations. Are they helping or hurting how you show up?
