Vacation Mode vs. Real Life: How to Bring the Fun Home With You

Jen Weinstein

 

Show Notes: 

Welcome back to The Midlife Edit

In this solo episode, Jen dives into something we all wonder: 

Why do we only let ourselves rest, have fun, and enjoy life on vacation — and how can we bring that feeling home?


You know the drill: on vacation, you’re relaxed, present, joyful… and then you come home and snap right back into grind mode. Sound familiar?
 
In this playful yet meaningful episode, we explore:
 ✅ Why we separate “vacation us” from “real-life us”
 ✅ What vacation reveals about the things we’re craving
✅ How to bring micro-moments of rest, play, and presence into your everyday life
✅ Why you don’t need a plane ticket to enjoy your life right now

Jen shares personal stories, gentle reminders, and simple tips to help you break out of the “save it for later” mindset — and start living like your best self today.


💛 If you’ve been waiting for “someday” to rest, have fun, or shake things up, this episode is your permission slip.
