Vision To Grow

The Real CEO Holiday Prep Plan (Yes, Even if You’re a Parent)

Send us a text

Most business owners dream of taking a real holiday — but when the school calendar collides with client work, deadlines, and family demands, it can feel impossible to step away.

In this episode, I’m sharing the exact process I use as a single mom of two to plan holidays that actually feel like a break while keeping my business running smoothly. With only 57% of small business owners taking a vacation last year, it’s clear too many of us are skipping rest — and paying the price in burnout, stress, and stalled growth.

I’ll walk you through my five-step holiday prep system so you can unplug with confidence, recharge your creativity, and return ready to lead with fresh energy.

Inside this episode:
 ✨ Why business owners struggle to take holidays (and how to change that)
 ✨ My five-step CEO holiday prep plan (yes, even if you’re a parent)
 ✨ How to test your systems before you leave
 ✨ The mindset shift that frees your business from depending on you 24/7
 ✨ A challenge to assess your holiday-readiness this year

Taking time off isn’t just possible — it’s essential. With the right plan, you can protect your personal time and your business growth.
