Listen "EP69: Why We Ditched Luxury and Chose a Humble Holiday"
Episode Synopsis
What happens when you intentionally choose a holiday that’s… not fancy, not luxurious, and definitely not what your kids are used to? In this episode, I share our recent family trip to Cameron Highlands — where we traded five-star comfort for something simpler, humbler, and more meaningful. This wasn’t just a trip — it was a conscious parenting decision. We revisited a place from my childhood, braved rainy days without entertainment, and faced our own discomfort — and in doing so, we gifted our children something no resort can offer: a deeper understanding of gratitude, presence, and what it means to truly enjoy life without constant stimulation. In this episode, I talk about: Why we intentionally chose a no-frills hotel How our kids reacted (especially my son!) Why boredom is a secret parenting superpower What it means to model humility instead of just preaching it The 3 powerful takeaways every modern parent should consider before their next holiday This one’s for you if: You want to raise grounded, grateful kids You’re tired of parenting through excess You need a reminder that discomfort creates growth — for both us and our children ✨ Listen in and walk away inspired to parent with more presence, more intention, and more courage to do things differently.
