Intentional journeys and vacations allow you to experience the world around you and discover your truest self.
Evan Freed is a founder of Family Journey. Evan believes in intentional travel experiences as well as intentional communication and healthy relationships, which in turn allow a person to avoid burnout. He likens intentional communication with incomplete information while on vacation surrounded by a language different to our own, to communication within entrepreneurship.
The goal of an intentional vacation is to be changed, to take things which are experienced back home, in order to incorporate it into daily life. Taking time to rest is imperative for oneโs wellbeing, however rest should just be rest on its own, not a precursor to working even harder.
Being and staying intentional is not an easy option in life, so give yourself some grace and create space to make the changes you need to.

Notes:
๐งณ Evan is a founder of Family Journey: he creates transformational, intentional travel experiences for all different types of people.
02:54๐จ๐ท Journeys are about becoming part of what's happening around you and discovering your true colors.
05:52๐จโ๐ฉโ๐งโ๐ฆ From intentional vacation, you can take experience and lessons back home: after these vacations, you don't have depression.
07:59๐ When the company Evan worked in grew, he left because he didn't want to lead a money-focused life: you should rest for the sake of it, not to be able to work more.
11:04๐ก Retreat is not a vacation: you should do things that will make your life better when you go home.
18:08โ
Evan coaches parents, mostly mothers, through retreats with or without him: rightness is the way you love yourself and are honest with yourself - claim it to have healthy relationships and avoid burnout.
22:30๐ Being intentional is significant but not easy: it's hard to look at our own lives because we're very comfortable with how society sets us off.
26:50โค๏ธ Men don't realize the mental load that women always have: Evan intentionally works on his communication with his wife.
