Travel Overwhelm: Why Holidays Can Feel So Stressful

Have you ever noticed that by the time the holiday finally arrives, you already feel as though you need a break?

For many women and mums, travel anxiety is not simply about flying, unfamiliar places or leaving home. It is the overwhelm of planning the journey, checking passports, packing for everyone, organising the pets, buying everything the family needs and feeling responsible for making sure the entire trip runs smoothly.

In this episode, we  explore the hidden mental load behind family holidays and why something exciting can quickly begin to feel like another enormous project to manage.

• why travel overwhelm can be mistaken for anxiety
• why the build-up often feels harder than the holiday itself
• how overthinking, checking and trying to prevent every problem increase stress
• the difference between somebody helping and genuinely taking ownership
• why mums often feel responsible for everyone else’s enjoyment
• how to let go of perfection, share the mental load and build greater self-trust

You can feel grateful for the holiday and overwhelmed by everything involved in making it happen. You can be excited and anxious at the same time.

This episode is for the capable woman carrying the planning, packing, remembering and responsibility,  while everyone else is simply looking forward to going away.

Because perhaps you are not bad at relaxing. Perhaps you have simply been given far too much to hold.
