Have a wonderful time! Excited to hear about the retreat. We all need to learn how to have a deep connection to ourselves - so hard to do when we’ve spend our lives catering to children, families, lovers, and jobs. Xo

So true, Kim! I got to my mom's place late last night and I am currently in the space of reviewing the weekend and integrating some pretty intense work. I'm super grateful for you in my life!

I loved how you wove music into each of your road trip narratives, from Hidden Brain to Indigo Girls and even your own show's audio recording. It made me think about how certain songs or podcasts become intrinsically linked to specific moments or phases in our lives. You mentioned singing and crying every time 'Secure Yourself to Heaven' came on, and that resonated deeply. Music isn't just background noise; it's a co-traveler, an emotional amplifier, and a keeper of memories. 🩵

This is so true, Alex. I have so many touchstones in my life where music is related‚and almost always an amplifier of what was going on for me!
