In this episode, we chat with Jillian McCloskey, founder of Momcations.co, a travel company specializing in vacations just for moms. Jillian shares how her first solo trip to Iceland transformed her as a mother and inspired her to create a business that helps other moms take guilt-free, stress-free getaways—whether it's a solo trip, a retreat with other moms, or a quick weekend escape.

What you'll learn:

  • Why every mom needs a real break—and why family vacations don’t count!
  • How to make time for travel, even when your schedule is packed.
  • Budget-friendly & short-term trip ideas for moms who can’t take a long vacation.
  • Why stepping away actually makes you a better, more present parent.
  • Practical tips for planning your first momcation, even if you’ve never traveled alone before.
