Why Moms Need to Escape: How 48 Hours Away Can Save Your Sanity (and Your Family)
Wed May 07 2025
In this eye-opening conversation, Pam sits down with Jillian McCloskey, founder of momcations.co, who transformed her life by booking a spontaneous trip to Iceland when her daughters were 4 and 5. After years of saying 'yes' to everyone but herself, Jillian hit burnout and discovered the life-changing power of intentional time away from family responsibilities. Learn why family vacations aren't actually breaks for moms, how to overcome the guilt of leaving, and why stepping away teaches your children crucial life skills (while saving your own sanity). Whether you're considering a solo getaway, a trip with friends, or simply need permission to prioritize yourself, this episode offers practical wisdom for planning your escape, preparing your family, and returning refreshed. Discover why creating space for yourself isn't selfish—it's modeling the self-worth you want your children to embrace in their own lives.
And as always, remember:
YOU ARE STRONG.
YOU ARE CAPABLE.
YOU ARE WORTHY.
I love you and I’m ENDLESSLY rooting for you!
