Episode 6: Traveling With Teen Energy And a Carry-On Full of Anxiety (Send Help & Juice Boxes) In this laugh-out-loud (and lowkey therapeutic) episode, host Mia Treana, The Boisterous Introvert, dives into the chaotic joy of traveling with her teenage nephew and how parenting-on-the-go isn't for the weak-hearted or light packers. From mood swings at airport security to navigating TikTok attention spans in ancient museums, this episode explores what it really means to travel with a child, especially a teen, when you’re an introvert who usually flies solo. Whether you're a bonus parent, auntie, mentor, or guardian, you'll get real talk on managing anxiety, creating meaningful memories, and setting boundaries at baggage claim. And yes, there’s a classic Madea quote to wrap it all up like a TSA-approved travel blanket. Topics covered: How to prepare emotionally (and spiritually) for teen travel Setting expectations and surviving shared hotel rooms Managing your anxiety while being “the adult in charge" Travel tips that make space for peace, patience, and playlists Why this kind of travel is secretly soul work Perfect for mindful travelers, aunties on duty, and anyone who’s ever considered canceling a trip because the teenager said “I’m bored” at the Eiffel Tower.
