If you've ever caught yourself saying "I'm so busy" like it's some kind of achievement, this episode is calling your name. Monica Virga Alborno, founder of Wanderwild Family Retreats and former Fortune 500 energy engineer, joins me to talk about why moms tend to wear busyness as a badge of honor and what it's actually costing us.

This isn't about adding another two-hour morning routine to your already packed schedule. Monica shares practical five-minute resets and why normalizing rest for our kids might be one of the most important things we do. Plus, you'll hear about her incredible family retreats that actually let moms vacation WITH their kids without the exhaustion that usually comes with it.

In This Episode, I'll Cover:

• Why we wear busyness as a badge of honor and how to break that cycle
• The difference between a "busy" day and a "full" day (and why it matters)
• Practical five-minute rituals to create spaciousness in your overwhelmed life
• How living abroad shifted Monica's perspective on American mom culture
• Why asking for help doesn't make you lazy or less capable
• What family retreats that welcome children can teach us about slowing down
