The Holiday Pressure Trap

You saved for it. You booked it. You told everyone it was going to be brilliant. That's exactly why it turned into a row by day three. Do not fall into the holiday pressure trap. See exactly where your energy, connection and joy is leaking. The free HVM Scorecard takes three minutes https://highvaluemanproject.com/score Jonnie is back from ten days in France with his two kids and one of their mates, and this episode is the honest version of how a family holiday actually goes well. Not the destination, not the budget, not the itinerary. The pressure a man loads onto the trip before he has even left the house, and what happens to his wife and kids when reality does not match the picture in his head. He shares what he does before he packs the boot, on the drive, at the dinner table and in the moments he deliberately steps back to catch. WHY THIS MATTERS For most men the holiday is the one stretch of the year his family gets all of him, and he arrives too loaded to give it. What he wanted to be the best fortnight of the year becomes the one everyone remembers for the wrong reasons. The cost is not a wasted week. It is another year of his kids and his partner learning what he is like under pressure.
