Podcast Episode 15: Dealing with Travel Anxiety with Dr. Stefani Reinold
Do you struggle with vacation anxiety or pre travel anxiety?
Maybe you’re like me and you never used to worry about travel, but with all of the new restrictions that come with the pandemic and dealing with things like masks and tests and forms, travel is more stressful than it’s ever been!
Or maybe travel has always made you worry a little more than usual. You’re dealing with circumstances outside of your control, you and your kids are sleeping in beds that aren’t your own, and so much could go wrong!
