About this episode
Family visits are supposed to bring connection… but sometimes they bring exhaustion, awkward expectations, and a drained bank account.
In this episode, we’re talking about what to do when the way you’re visiting family isn’t working anymore — and how to get creative about connection without spending a fortune.
We’ll share our own story (including a few hard lessons from our in-laws 😅) and offer practical alternatives for families who live far apart: meeting in the middle, combining trips, camping, even serving together.
If you’ve ever felt torn between your budget and your relationships, this episode will help you rethink what “showing up” can look like in this season.
