Vacation stress usually isn’t about the trip itself — it’s about the unspoken expectations couples bring into it. In this episode, the hosts unpack the conversations that can completely change the tone of a vacation before you ever leave the driveway: money, planning, intimacy, parenting, downtime, technology, and more. They explore how different nervous systems, personalities, and expectations can either create connection or turn a “dream trip” into the same fight in a different location.

Main Talking Points: 

• Vacation Expectations

• Planning Differences

• Money Conversations

• Parenting Stress

• Intimacy Pressure

• Technology Boundaries
