Permission to Pause: Intentional Escapes For Rest, Joy, Connection

Jillian McCloskey is the founder of Momcations.co, where she designs intentional group getaways for moms who are ready to step out of routine and into meaningful connection. From boutique city escapes to international journeys, Jillian curates experiences that blend adventure, laughter, and a much-needed reset.

Her work is rooted in a simple belief: moms are already carrying enough. Rather than adding another decision or responsibility to their plates, Jillian takes care of the planning, logistics, and details, so for once, moms get to be the ones taken care of. All they have to do is say yes, show up, and enjoy the experience without managing, coordinating, or holding it all together.

At the heart of her work is creating space. Space to have fun, try something new, laugh a little louder, and remember there’s more to life than the daily grind. She’s known for a calm, thoughtful approach and for holding space when it’s needed, without making the experience feel heavy or forced.
