Description

Today on the pod, we’re talking about the comedown after a truly great vacation. A listener writes in about the disorienting feeling of returning home—how hard it is to jump back into “real life” after feeling calm, curious, and rejuvenated while away.

We explore:

  • why post-travel blues are a real (and totally valid) part of the experience
  • how to identify what exactly made the trip feel so good—novelty, spaciousness, connection—and invite more of it into everyday life
  • why rushing back into routine often makes the return harder
  • how to honor a special trip without clinging to it or making yourself miserable that it’s over

If you LOVE to travel (like me) hopefully this episode will ease your aching heart after returning from a trip or remedy the pre-trip blues you may already be feeling just thinking about it being over one day.
