I almost didn't go.

I was burnt out, overwhelmed, physically unraveling, and still trying to talk myself out of the one thing I actually needed: to get quiet, get alone, and come back to ME.

So on my 39th birthday, I booked a solo trip to Salt Spring Island in British Columbia. No schedule. No alarm. No phone. Just me, pine trees, a 1500-foot hike, a lake I jumped into with zero towel situation, and a kismet moment on the ferry I still can't believe.

This episode is one of the most personal things I've ever shared.

We cover:

  • The burnout that shows up in your body before your brain admits it
  • Being the strong woman who forgets to take care of herself
  • My solo retreat to Salt Spring Island, the signs, the strangers, the moments
  • The vows I made to myself at 39
