This holiday season has felt different‼️ For me—and for many I’ve spoken to—it’s been a struggle to truly step into the holiday spirit.



After a year filled with heaviness, from financial challenges to societal shifts and elections, it feels like the weight of 2024 has taken its toll on the magic of the season.

To be honest, I’ve been trying to find my spark. In our Facebook community, we've been talking about how women are getting into the holiday spirit, and the responses reminded me of the power of small, intentional joys:
✨ Visiting Christmas lights and decor
✨ Watching favorite holiday movies
✨ Exploring local Christmas markets
✨ Embracing cherished traditions

This weekend, my family and I took a quick trip to the White House to see the holiday decor.

It was bittersweet—beautiful and inspiring.

So now, I’m slowly peeling myself away from the heaviness and leaning into moments that remind me of the beauty of the season.

If you’re struggling to feel the holiday spirit too, what are you doing to reconnect with it?

Are you embracing old traditions or creating new ones?

When I came back from Ghana, I felt a new fire in my soul.

As we walked to the Slave River we were asked a question that shifted us to our core:

What is the legacy you’re leaving behind?

That question hit me hard. It wasn’t about material things or accomplishments.

It was about the way I’ve inspired others and carried forward the power of those who came before me.

At that moment, I felt reactivated by my ancestors.

They reminded me that MY time is now.

Not tomorrow, not someday, but right now.

They reminded me that not everyone is meant to come along for this journey.

Some will be left behind.

Some will separate themselves,
..and that’s okay.

I’m here to shine my light for the women who KNOW.

The ones who feel it deep down...they want more for themselves.

The ones who are ready to move, ready to grow, and ready to discover their own joy.

We’ve all been there...stuck in the “one day” mindset.

“One day, I’ll take that trip.”

“One day, I’ll make time for myself.”

“One day, when the kids are older, I’ll focus on me.”

But one day isn’t guaranteed.

Right now is all we have.

Busy Mom Playdates exists for the women who know.

For the moms who are tired of waiting.

The ones ready to stop sitting on the sidelines of their own lives.

What does joy look like for you?

Maybe it’s finally taking that solo trip.

Maybe it’s sitting at a brunch table full of laughter.

Or maybe it’s just finding time to rediscover the things that make you feel alive.

Whatever it is, it starts with saying YES to yourself today.

The women who joined me in Ghana stepped into their joy, their purpose, and their power.

Now it’s your turn.

If you’ve been waiting for a sign, this is it.

Don’t wait for ‘one day.’ Take action right now:

www.busymomplaydates.com/ghana25

Your joy is waiting for you. The only question is, are you ready to say yes to it?

STORYTIME‼️

As a global travel company, we’ve built our business on trust.

Trusting local talent to capture the magic of our retreats and experiences, investing in communities to support their economies.

We’ve always prioritized hiring local creatives.

Why?

Because we believe in uplifting and empowering the people who make each destination so unique.

From photographers to chefs to guides, we know how vital their role is in creating unforgettable experiences.

But trust goes both ways.

During our recent Morocco experience in October, we hired to document 4 days of connection, joy, and lifelong memories for our group.

Many, just experiencing Morocco for the first time.

Despite a clear contract, payment, and countless follow-ups, we have received nothing since our final day.

No photos, No videos, No responses‼️

This isn’t our first time hiring a creative media team abroad.

We vet.

We ask for referrals.

We plan ahead.

But even with these precautions, situations like this have forced us to reconsider how we engage with local talent.

The sad reality is that when trust is broken repeatedly, it makes it harder to support local creatives in the way we’ve always intended.

This isn’t just about us.

It’s about protecting memories, fostering accountability, and ensuring that trust remains at the core of global travel.

To the Moroccan community and beyond:

What can we do to ensure better protections for travelers and creatives alike?

How can we prevent these stories from repeating?

If you’ve faced something like this, share your experience. Let’s create awareness together.

Trust isn’t just a foundation. It’s a bridge between people, cultures, and communities.

When that bridge is broken, everyone loses.

Have you heard or experienced anything like this before?

Unraveled.

The Assin Manso Ancestral Slave Market wasn’t just a place, it almost felt alive.

I could feel my ancestors.

I could hear their whispers.

There was peace at the River, but beneath that calm was a weight I wasn’t ready for.

When we got to the first bath of return, as soon as the water touched my skin, I broke.

Completely.

Grief for the lives lost.

Pain for the sacrifices made.

An overwhelming sense of responsibility.

I wept uncontrollably.

In that moment, something shifted.

I still don't have all the words yet.

It wasn’t just about mourning the past anymore.

It became about purpose.

About rededicating myself to making my ancestors proud.

To walking fully in the opportunities their sacrifices have given me.

To giving everything I have because they gave everything they had.

This wasn’t just a visit…it was a calling.

A moment that stripped me bare and reminded me why I do what I do.

Day 2 🇬🇭| What legacy are you leaving behind?

Today, we dug into Ghana’s powerful history.

Walked in the footsteps of W.E.B. Du Bois.

Felt the impact of Kwame Nkrumah.

Stood in the heart of the Black Star Square.

I've learned so much about my history today and reminded me about my duty to keep moving forward even when it seems impossible.

Forward Ever, Backward Never!

Listen… 364 days from now, this could be YOU. ✈️

Dubai 2.0 is everything you didn’t know you needed.

We’re talking next-level luxury shopping in the Gold Souks, or snagging those designer pieces at Emirates Mall!

Indulging in over-the-top brunches, and dining at Michelin-star restaurants.

For those of you craving one of those stunning flying photoshoots in the desert...

Or..

The adventure seekers ready to experience ATVs in the desert or dining in the Sky!

Whatever your vibe, Dubai serves it up with opulence you’ll never forget‼️

Stop waiting.

Too many people keep pushing their dreams aside, waiting for the "right moment."

Sis, the moment is now.

إن شاء الله (Inshallah)

One of my FAVORITE parts of travel is learning the local language.

It helps me connect with the people I meet.

During my first visit to Morocco, I learned the word Inshallah.

It means “if God wills it” or “if God is willing.”

I heard it everywhere.

"I’ll see you tomorrow, Inshallah."

"We’ll meet again, Inshallah."

It’s a beautiful reminder we need moment by moment that nothing is guaranteed.

Everything unfolds as part of God's Plan.

I’m grateful that this Morocco experience was part of His plan!
