We are going on a family vacation soon and due to the pandemic, I am a little out of practice with travels with a little one. It’s pretty common for travel to leave our bodies a bit out of sorts, even vacations or travels that are supposed to be fun. Every bit of energy and tip with making an experience more enjoyable, counts. This week, episode 36 of Poised & Powerful Podcast is sharing tips to make traveling as a family more enjoyable and less stressful!
Do you find yourself needing extra time to recover from your weekend or time to prepare your mind and body for the week ahead? Join me for a restorative practice where we’ll release tension in our necks, back, and shoulders. Clear your mind so you’ll feel reset and re-energized for yourself and your family.

In this episode of Poised & Powerful Podcast, I discuss the following:
- When we get stressed, we may experience tunnel vision, and so I touch upon how to identify that you’re in that tunnel vision, and what to do with that energy so it actually serves you.
- How to properly lift a heavy suitcase or a child in various scenarios in your travels.
- What I recommend bringing on the plane with you, and what popular items I don’t recommend for your posture and comfort while on the plane.
- Tips for long car trips and buckling kids in car seats.
- What you should do when you get to your destination to undo and un-scrunch all the tension and back issues caused from your travels.
This episode is the perfect episode to save to refer back to both before you travel and after your travels, so you can keep your body and mind in alignment and reduce tension.
