Ever fantasized about running away to the islands? Or maybe just…staying home in blissful silence while everyone else leaves? This week on Mom’s Got This… Mostly, Alicia gets honest about the decision to send her family on vacation without her—and why it was the best thing she could have done for everyone.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

What finally made her say, “I’m not going”

The guilt that bubbled up…and what happened when she stopped trying to please everyone

The magic of slow mornings, solo lunches, and cookies you don’t have to share

Why taking time for yourself doesn’t make you selfish—it makes you human

Takeaways:
✅ Saying no doesn’t mean the world will fall apart.
✅ Your needs matter just as much as everyone else’s.
✅ You are allowed to rest, reset, and choose yourself.
