Make Summer Feel Like a Vacation Again

Send us a text. We'd love to hear from you!Welcome to episode 16, season 5 of the Woman Uncaged podcast! Summer is marketed like a built-in reset, but many women experience it as more planning, more coordinating, and more pressure to “make it magical” for everyone else. We dig into why summer can quietly increase the mental load for women and how that erodes the very thing we want most: freedom. We get concrete about making summer feel like summer again. Think simple season markers (Memorial Day to Labor Day), a visible summer wish list, and giving yourself real permission to do what lights you up, not just what looks good. We share our own plans too, from hiking state parks and discovering local events to traveling to Sweden, using a backyard pool on purpose, and saying yes to small adventures like rooftop bars or a Lake Superior weekend. We also dig into how we cannot muscle our way into greater freedom while holding on more tightly. We explore what it takes to loosen the reins and feel more unbridled this summer and beyond!  Subscribe, share with a friend who needs more ease, and leave a review telling us: what’s one thing you are choosing for yourself this summer?Camp Vibrant: 100 Days of Summer Liberation!Camp Vibrant is Laura's summer camp for women who long for more fun & freedom in their lives.
