Listen "Traveling as a Parent: Overcoming Mom Guilt with Andrea Andree"
Episode Synopsis
Today I’m joined by Andrea Andree—leadership and embodiment coach, mom of two, and a traveler from my Cuba trip earlier this year. We dive into what it really looks like to prioritize solo travel as a parent, how to navigate fear (yours and other people’s), and how making space for your own joy actually makes you a better parent.In this episode we talk about:Why Andrea said yes to a solo trip to Cuba—and left the mom guilt at homeThe myth of “once you’re a parent, adventure stops”How to handle loved ones projecting fear onto your travel plansWhy it’s crucial to model boldness and curiosity for your kidsHow Andrea coaches parents to reconnect with their identities beyond parentingThere’s a pervasive story in our culture that once you become a parent, especially a mom, you’re no longer supposed to want big adventures—or if you do, you should feel guilty about them. Andrea is here to challenge that narrative. This conversation is for any parent who's ever felt pulled to explore more, reconnect with themselves, and model courage and joy for their kids.And if you’re not a parent? It’s still a powerful reminder that you don’t need anyone’s permission to live a big, bold life.Links & ResourcesLearn more about Andrea: https://andreaandree.com/ Follow my personal IG: @lolawhiskeyFollow my business IG: @lauraericsongrouptripsFollow our podcast: @type2travelpodcastGet on the waitlist for Camp Lola Whiskey 2026Learn more about upcoming trips: lauraericson.comCheck out our podcast page: lauraericson.com/podcastJoin my Facebook group: @lolalovestravel
