Vacation stress management starts before you leave home. Bob Addison returns from Mexico still obsessively checking his backpack for sunglasses and headphones every hour. Why does your brain refuse to shut off when you're supposed to relax? Shane introduces the purse metaphor for life: you can't complain about what's inside because you put it there. Your vacation anxiety exists because you carried it with you.

Bob admits spending 45 minutes standing in the Costco probiotic aisle just to avoid rushing after returning from a week away. Shane shares his seven-day phone detox experience where he built backup plans for his business only to discover the harsh truth: nobody missed him. The world continued exactly as before. Snoop Dogg was still playing on Spotify when he returned. Bob explains why the first Monday morning after vacation, his brain clicked awake at 6:30 AM cataloging everything he needed to do despite being retired.

Discover why taking your laptop on vacation destroys the hundred-kilometer radius rule. Learn what happens when you finally accept you're not important or special. Understand how Bob accidentally celebrated his 15-year wedding anniversary while making fart jokes.
