holiday highlights & lowlights: family, road trips & reality checks - episode 26

holiday highlights & lowlights: family, road trips & reality checks - episode 26

episode 26 is our first episode back for the year, and we’re easing in by unpacking the highlights and lowlights of our holiday trips.


meg talks about travelling to coffs harbour with her mum, while erica reflects on a brisbane trip with her dad. we cover the good parts: beautiful towns, road trips, spending time together, and the not-so-good parts including bugs in tropical regions, bed bugs in hotels, awkward family dynamics and the strange things people say when you least expect it.


we also talk about how grounding it can be to see each other after time apart, the joy (and stress) of long drives, and the confronting reality of roadkill on australian roads.


it’s a gentle, honest catch-up episode about travel, family, and returning to yourself after time away.
