Have you ever come home from a full-on family vacation needing a vacation from your vacation?

In this episode, Michelle recaps her action-packed family trip to Toronto, from Great Wolf Lodge and Canada’s Wonderland to Niagara Falls, then a solo work conference in Halifax. Unpacking the hilarious dynamic between giving her kids epic core memories and craving a little "bad and bougie" downtime, Michelle shares her non-negotiable travel-return life hack to avoid a downward spiral.
