Lighten Up with Melanie Dale

I use laughter as a coping strategy for life’s messes and this podcast to externally process everything going on in my mind, from books to the zombie apocalypse. Each episode I invite a friend to join me and we discuss hot topics, relationships, faith, trends, books, movies, and the latest developments on important things like Netflix and Twitter. I ask them how they lighten up and how they’re sharing the light in their communities. My goal is for you to feel like you’re sitting in the room with us while we eat Nerds Ropes, cackle hysterically, and solve all the world’s problems.

It's our monthly crossover episode with Sarah Bragg of Surviving Sarah! This month we're talking about all things summer and summer vacation. Sarah and I tackle the day-to-day moments of surviving summer with your kids over on her podcast Surviving Sarah and here on Lighten Up, we talk about those specially planned moments, like vacations, trips, and camps. We reminisce about our favorite memories of summer from our childhoods and talk about how to lighten up by balancing time together as a family and time apart, because we all desperately need apart time. We share how we do vacations, road trip tips, travel ideas for when you have more than two kids, and the benefits of overnight camps and day camps. Summer is upon us, so listen in and lighten up!
