Have you ever wondered why you get sick on vacation? I share my all-too-relatable experience of getting sick on my recent anniversary trip across Italy, Greece, and Turkey with our resident therapist, Dr. Jennifer Dragonette. Dr. Jen dives into why our bodies often choose downtime to recover, exploring our hidden demands we carry and how American work culture fuels our “earn your rest” mentality. But, as always, our conversation expands, weaving in discussions about present-moment awareness, how to build restorative habits into daily life, and why those five-minute “mini-vacations” might be just what your nervous system needs. Dr. Jen and I also tackle bigger questions: When do you know it’s time to seek professional help, whether that’s in therapy or financial advice? What stigma holds us back, and how much can talking to the right person or connecting with others change our experience? From the pressures of social comparison to embracing change as parents, this episode is packed with relatable stories and actionable advice. Whether you’re guilty of pushing through without a break, curious about the real signs it’s time for extra support, or just looking for ways to slow down time and savor life’s moments, I hope this conversation provides a little reassurance that you’re definitely not alone.
