Episode 412: When Your Husband Travels
Episode 412
Tuesday, 21 January, 2025
How do you manage life when your spouse is away? Do you embrace the quiet or brace yourself for chaos? In this heartfelt and insightful episode, Rebecca and Seth Greene delve into the challenges and growth opportunities that arise when one partner travels for work. Rebecca shares her strategies for managing a bustling household, shifting mindsets, and leaning on her "village" of support, while Seth reflects on the significance of their family dance and teamwork. Whether you're navigating similar situations or simply looking for relatable advice, this episode is packed with valuable takeaways. Key Takeaways: Shift Your Mindset: A positive mindset can transform the experience of managing a household solo. Focus on what you can simplify and accomplish. Delegate and Ask for Help: Involve kids in age-appropriate tasks and reach out to family and friends for support—you're not alone. Celebrate Wins: Acknowledge your achievements during your spouse's absence, no matter how small they may seem. Stay Connected: Use technology like FaceTime to keep the bond strong with your traveling partner, especially for kids. Embrace Imperfection: Adjust your expectations and let go of the need for perfection during a hectic week. Quote from Rebecca Greene: "Mindset is everything. When we change how we look at things, we change the whole experience." Quote from Seth Greene: "We can do it all, but we really appreciate what our spouse does when we're apart." Solo parenting and managing the household while your partner travels can be daunting, but it's also a chance to reflect on your strengths, adapt, and appreciate teamwork. Celebrate your successes, simplify when possible, and lean on your support system.
