We all want our vacations to be stress-free, but it’s actually pretty common that vacations don’t feel that way.

What's the POINT of a vacation? To relax, to explore new places, to eat good food, to enjoy time with your people?

Yes, of course. But there’s also something way bigger than that, and I don’t want you to continue living your life without getting in touch with what that is.

Let's dive into this bigger, broader, and more impactful purpose of vacation so you make sure that your vacations are maximizing your happiness and overall life fulfillment.

I believe that daily happiness lies on the other side of living a purposeful life. I also believe that when we find ourselves at the end of our lives, we will feel that coveted fulfillment because of living a purposeful life.

This whole purposeful life thing is kind of a big deal, but HOW do you “live your life on purpose”? What does that mean and how does that look on the daily?

This episode is full of clarity, inspiration, and permission for you to become a woman who lives her life on purpose and reaps the happiness and fulfillment from that!

There are some pieces of your vacation that you should just go ahead and splurge on. ;) But what specifically are those things? What high ticket parts of a vacation give us the best bang for our buck? I’ve got the answer!!
