Episode 6: Traveling With Teen Energy And a Carry-On Full of Anxiety (Send Help & Juice Boxes)

In this laugh-out-loud (and lowkey therapeutic) episode, host Mia Treana, The Boisterous Introvert, dives into the chaotic joy of traveling with her teenage nephew and how parenting-on-the-go isn't for the weak-hearted or light packers. From mood swings at airport security to navigating TikTok attention spans in ancient museums, this episode explores what it really means to travel with a child, especially a teen, when you’re an introvert who usually flies solo.

Whether you're a bonus parent, auntie, mentor, or guardian, you'll get real talk on managing anxiety, creating meaningful memories, and setting boundaries at baggage claim. And yes, there’s a classic Madea quote to wrap it all up like a TSA-approved travel blanket.

Topics covered:

• How to prepare emotionally (and spiritually) for teen travel

• Setting expectations and surviving shared hotel rooms

• Managing your anxiety while being “the adult in charge"

• Travel tips that make space for peace, patience, and playlists

• Why this kind of travel is secretly soul work

Perfect for mindful travelers, aunties on duty, and anyone who’s ever considered canceling a trip because the teenager said “I’m bored” at the Eiffel Tower.
