Recharging as a Mom By Taking Momcations with Jillian McCloskey ~ The Marriage & Motherhood Podcast

Written By ~ Jillian ~

Taking time away from your family isn’t selfish—it’s essential.

In this episode, I’m joined by Jillian McCloskey, founder of Momcations, to talk about why moms need intentional time away and how these trips can completely transform your patience, your marriage, and your sense of self.

We discuss:

  • What a “momcation” really is and why it’s different from just staying home for a break

  • Why stepping away allows your partner to step up and builds their confidence too

  • How kids benefit when moms take time away (spoiler: it often creates the sweetest core memories)

  • Practical tips for overcoming mom guilt and starting small if leaving feels impossible

If you’ve been waiting for the “perfect time” to take a break, this conversation will remind you why that time is now. Because when you return home recharged, everyone wins.
