The Power of Midlife Girlfriend Getaways and Road Trips - Ep. 74

Positively Midlife Podcast

Ever dreamed of escaping with your girlfriends for a thrilling adventure? Well, Ellen and Tish did just that taping this episode from a girls trip in the Cayman Islands! Sharing the magic of a midlife getaway, they discuss the transformative experiences and the deeper connections fostered along the journey. From practical tips on planning and packing to stories of unforgettable moments, they give a full scoop on why these trips like the one to the Caymans are the ultimate game changers.
Tish and Ellen made this bucketlist trip with college friends a catalyst for self-discovery and pushing boundaries and supporting each other. Ellen shares how she overcame her fear of the ocean to kiss a stingray and swim with tarpons! The group learned how to play Empire - so many laughs. A beach photo shoot all in white at sunset. Pickleball doubles! Yup, that's just a glimpse of the adrenaline rush they experienced with a group of nine friends! They also discuss the importance of rest and relaxation during these trips and how they help in navigating transitions like empty nesting, new marriages, and career shifts.
Lastly, we share how these trips served as our own empowerment movement. Indulging in self-care, exploring new places, and creating lasting memories led us to a deeper level of connection and sisterhood. We learned the importance of un-plugging from everyday life without cell phones or TV, the joy of simple moments, and the beauty of being in the moment. At this stage a girls getaway needs to take into consideration midlife sleep habits, who is working and who is retiring, planning a year out for a large group, assigning a photo master to organize and share photos, and how these trips have brought us joy and fulfillment. So ladies, are you ready to plan your midlife girls getaway?
