The Momcation Method: 4 Days to Remember Who You Are
How a short getaway can recharge your energy, reset your mindset, and reconnect you with yourself
When You’re Doing Everything… and Still Feel Behind
You know that feeling where you’re being pulled in every possible direction—yet somehow nothing on your to-do list ever gets crossed off?
Where you’re working like you don’t have kids and parenting like it’s your only job?
The Silent Competition No One Wins
You’re trying to keep up with the moms who “do it all” (spoiler: they’re just as overwhelmed as you), staying ahead in your career or business while mentally preparing for the second shift that hits the moment you walk through your front door.
The Endless Checklist You Never Finish
You’re feeding your kids, chauffeuring them to activities, worrying about what they’re eating, what they’re watching, and who they’re becoming—all while trying to nurture your relationship, be a decent human, and maybe, just maybe, drink enough water for once in your life.
The Pressure to Be Everything
And then there’s the pressure:
To keep growing.
To look good.
To be healthy, present, patient, productive, and—let’s be honest—Pinterest-worthy.
It’s exhausting.
And somewhere in the middle of doing all the things, you’ve quietly misplaced yourself.
The Moment It Clicked
I knew I needed to get away when I dropped $397 on yet another online course that promised to be the magic key to ending my overwhelm as a mom.
Spoiler alert: it was the same advice I’d heard a hundred times before.
I was already doing the routines.
I had the systems.
I’d streamlined every part of life that I could… and I was still drowning.
Because here’s the truth nobody likes to admit—sometimes life is just overwhelming. Work is overwhelming. Parenting is overwhelming. And that’s not even factoring in special needs, health struggles, or any other curveball life throws your way.
The real kick in the ovaries?
Five minutes later, I was doomscrolling and saw a flight to Iceland for $397.
I just sat there, shocked and pissed at the same time.
I could’ve booked myself on a plane to somewhere I’ve always wanted to see instead of watching another set of videos from a well-meaning mompreneur telling me the same stuff I already knew.
And that’s when it hit me: sometimes you can have all the plans, the color-coded calendars, and the “perfect” morning routine… and life is still going to be hard.
That’s when you need to step away for a few days—really step away.
Not multitasking while “resting,” not doing laundry during “me time.”
You need a full recharge, like a phone you stop using so it can actually charge faster. Put it down, walk away, and come back at 100%.
Why 4 Days Works
Four days is the sweet spot. It’s just long enough to actually exhale, break the cycle, and remember what it feels like to be you. And it’s short enough that your family, your boss, and your to-do list can survive without you.
Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
Four days is:
The guilt-free window that says, “This isn’t selfish. It’s sustainable.”
Enough time to try new things, have real conversations, and not feel rushed.
The reset button that lets you come home with more patience, more energy, and more you to give.
How to Plan Your Own (or Join One That’s Ready-Made)
If you’re reading this and thinking, Okay, Jillian… but I can’t just disappear for 4 days, I get it.
The truth? You can. You just need to plan it in a way that works for your life.
If you’re going DIY:
Pick the dates first. Don’t wait for the “perfect” time — it doesn’t exist. Get them on the calendar and work backwards.
Go somewhere that feels different. Even if it’s only an hour away, choose a setting that shakes up your routine and lets you feel like you’re “away.”
Keep the schedule simple. Two to three main activities are plenty. This is about rest, not recreating your overstuffed daily life.
Build in downtime. Don’t fill every minute. Give yourself space to breathe, wander, and just be.
But here’s the thing — you don’t have to figure it out alone. You can skip the research, the logistics, and the endless decision-making and just join one of my hosted Momcations.
I’ve already scouted the locations, booked the best stays, and filled the itinerary with just the right mix of connection and “me time.” You just pack a bag and show up.
Your Invitation
You don’t need months away. You don’t need to wait until life “calms down.”
You just need 4 days — and the willingness to say yes to yourself.
You’ve waited. You’ve wished. You’ve watched from the sidelines.
This is your moment.
Your reset.
Your invitation to go.

Until next time, here’s to making time for yourself - you deserve it!
