In this episode, I take you behind the scenes of my very first solo vacation in years — and I went big: Iceland. From soaking in hot springs and running on two hours of sleep, to whale watching, cocktails at an ice bar, and finally seeing the Northern Lights, this trip was everything I dreamed of (and yes, ridiculously expensive).

More than just a travel diary, this trip reminded me of a few big lessons about motherhood, guilt, and why it’s worth chasing your own joy — even if it means leaving your family for a few days.

What You’ll Hear in This Episode:

• Why Iceland has always been on my dream list 🌋
• The highs and lows of traveling solo as a mom
• Whale watching, hot springs, and finally catching the Northern Lights
• How my family fared while I was gone (spoiler: they thrived)
• 3 lessons this trip reminded me about mom life and self-care

Takeaways:

Your family will survive — and even thrive — while you’re away.
Mom guilt feels heavier than it really is.
Dreams are worth chasing, no matter how long they’ve been sitting on your list.
