Finding Your Style After Kids (So You Don't Have to Stress About What to Pack for Trips!) 49:55

Honestly, I'm a little nervous about publishing this episode because I talk about my experience with body image and weight loss - and sometimes that can feel like a taboo subject! But keep in mind these are all MY personal experiences, thoughts, and feelings. I'm chatting about how body image and budget can be a struggle in your quest to rediscover your style after having kids, and how that can make things like packing for a trip and taking photos on vacation much harder. When you stock up your wardrobe with basics that you KNOW fit your body and are comfortable to wear, it makes experimenting with style so much easier. And it makes packing for a trip feel easier, too!

In today's episode I'm sharing my top takeaways from traveling with kids in 2024, as well as my top lessons learned as a content creator in 2024. Now that we're entering the golden era of parenting (kids are old enough to be independent but young enough to still enjoy spending time with the family), I'm figuring out what works and what doesn't work when it comes to family travel. As for content creation - blogging, Instagram, TikTok, and more - so much has changed, making being and influencer or content creator that much more challenging. I'm going a little deep here, so stay with me through the stream of consciousness that ensues!

In this episode, my friend Stephanie from @thebackpackingmom and I recount our adventurous trip to Belgium and Amsterdam, highlighting our experiences traveling with kids, managing illness, and exploring beautiful cities like Bruges and Ghent. Things you'll hear about in this episode: Traveling with kids can be an adventure, but flexibility is key. Bruges feels like a fairy tale town, perfect for wandering. Ghent offers a more medieval vibe compared to Bruges. Managing a sick child while traveling requires patience and adaptability. Amsterdam is a very walkable city with beautiful sights. Booking attractions in advance can save time and hassle. Traveling with a friend can make the experience more enjoyable. Kids can surprise you with their adaptability while traveling. Food is an essential part of the travel experience, especially local treats. Every trip has its challenges, but they often lead to the best memories. Find yourself a mom friend to travel with!
