What do plumbing and travel have in common? More than you think 👀✈️   In this episode of *Your Travel Bestie Kat*, I’m joined by Abi Wilson of Friendly Neighborhood Plumber to talk about what it really looks like to build a successful business from the ground up—without losing your life in the process.   We’re diving into the real behind-the-scenes of entrepreneurship: the hustle, the systems, and the shift from working *in* your business to finally having the freedom to step away from it. Because whether you’re fixing pipes or planning dream vacations, the goal is the same—create a business that supports your lifestyle, not one that controls it.   If you’ve ever said “I can’t travel because of my business”…this episode might just change your mind 😉 ✨ In this episode, we cover:   Building a business from the ground up * Why systems matter more than hustle * How to create freedom as an entrepreneur * The mindset shift from busy to balanced * Why travel should be part of your plan—not a reward at the end   ✈️ Ready to plan your next getaway?

They Packed WHAT?! Traveling with Teens & Tweens Without Losing Your Mind

Packing for a trip with teens and tweens? Yeah… good luck with that 😂   In this episode of Your Travel Bestie Kat, we’re talking about the fine line between giving your kids independence… and making sure they actually pack what they need (like underwear… because apparently that’s optional now??).   From the “independence illusion” to the silent suitcase check 👀, I’m sharing real-life tips to help you avoid vacation meltdowns, outfit disasters, and showing up to dinner with a child in pajama pants and Crocs.   Because let’s be honest… They want freedom. You want them to look presentable in photos.   We’re finding the balance—without losing our minds.   ✨ If you’ve ever asked “Did you pack everything?” and instantly regretted trusting the answer… this episode is for you.   #TravelWithTeens #MomLifeUnfiltered #FamilyTravelTips #TravelBestieKat #PackingTips #MomHacks #TravelHumor #RealLifeParenting #VacationReady
