109. SOLO: Travel and Strengthening Marriage Through Independence

After 6 weeks off the pod, I’m back re-energized and ready for a September of solo episodes💥Today, I share what taking a longer break taught me about creativity, independence within marriage, and the kind of “home” we build wherever we are. We talk family time in France, slow days in Spain, cold dips in Copenhagen, and the tender re-entry when two partners come back changed but fuller. I also reflect on the difference between being an expat vs. an immigrant, and what it stirred in me watching so many friends return to their roots. In this episode: - Why I took 4 weeks off the podcast and what recalibration gave me - Independence in marriage: choosing time apart and loving it - Family immersion with 18 under one roof (and choosing rest over FOMO) - Europe snapshots: France, Spain, Copenhagen (and winter bathing!) - Expat vs. immigrant: identity, privilege, and perspective - Belonging & roots: can we belong anywhere & what role does family play? - Re-entry after travel: remembering who we are and what we bring back 📝 Mentioned: Letting Go: The Pathway of Surrender by David R.
