#40 Cancelled Flights, Lost Luggage & Travelling with Kids: Everything Went Wrong Fast

In this episode of Spill the Tea, We discussed our recent stressful travel to Bali with delayed/cancelled flights and lost luggage, emotional and nervous-system experiences during time away, the importance of self-care and regulation for high achievers, and strategies (breathwork, hypnotherapy, mindset, life audits) to prevent burnout and improve resilience.

=================================================================

In this episode of Spill the Tea, we share :

00:01:54 – 00:08:54 | Travel disruptions and logistics

Flight disruptions: Multiple delays, a long wait on the tarmac(s), a cancellation late at night, and overnight waiting at the gate. The family experienced airport sleep on the floor and app confusion about rebooked flights.Baggage lost then flown ahead: At Taipei, checked luggage was unloaded and later discovered to have been sent on the airline’s next flight—leaving the family without clothes for ~48 hours until bags were reunited.

00:08:54 – 00:23:16 | Emotional Impact & Safety

Immediate relief in Bali: Upon arriving at their villa, Kirsty reports a substantial drop in nervous-system activation—10.5 hours of restorative sleep and a sudden sense of safety.Houston experience: Kirsty described feeling unsafe and on edge while in Houston (an incident at 2 a.m.; preference for hotels over Airbnbs in the U.S.), which amplified protective maternal vigilance.

00:23:16 – 00:39:28 | Mindset, Habits & Leadership Themes

Workaholism as avoidance: Both hosts framed chronic busyness as a primary avoidance strategy for unresolved trauma—“keeping busy” functions as a coping mechanism for high achievers.Strategy for happiness: Happiness and dysfunction are both described as having “recipes” or strategies—specific, learnable steps that compound into outcomes (e.g., mindset + breathwork + nervous-system regulation = resilient functioning).Mindset training: Kirsty emphasizes mindset as a muscle that must be trained continuously, combining cognitive/behavioral strategies with somatic tools to shift state rapidly.Concept of “recipes” or strategies for outcomes: happiness, wealth, or depression each have repeatable patterns to follow/change.
