About this listen
Vacationing with your immediate family is one thing. But vacationing with the extended family—parents, siblings, nieces, nephews—is a whole different ballgame.
It can be a recipe for chaos... or, if you have the right mindset, it can be the source of your best memories.
I recently put this to the test on a trip to Zion National Park with 10 people (including my parents, in-laws, and 2 babies in strollers!). In this episode, I’m sharing how we survived the "Family Circus" without losing our minds.
In this episode, I share:
• The "Kid-Centric" Compass: Why shifting our focus from "adult hiking goals" to "kids' joy" eliminated almost all the conflict.
• Letting the "Village" Step Up: How I managed to get a Girls' Night Out.
• The "Sandwich Method": My specific communication script for handling unwanted advice during a trip.
• The Booking Hack: How having access to wholesale travel rates removed the awkward money conversations that usually happen with big groups.
If you are debating taking the big family trip, this episode is your sign to book the ticket—and pack your patience!
