S1 E5: The First Hotel Room in Six Years

One of the strange things about loving someone is that sometimes you get a front-row seat to their healing.Not the Instagram version.The real version.The setbacks.The accommodations.The fear.The determination.The tiny victories that nobody else understands.This week on Later in Life, we talk about our trip to Toronto, Tori's first hotel stay in six years, the challenge of navigating severe allergies and sensitivities while traveling, and why getting a cup of coffee back felt like such a big deal.Along the way, we find ourselves talking about nervous system safety, the differences we noticed between Canada and the U.S., and what happens when life starts opening back up after years of getting smaller.Because sometimes progress doesn't look like a breakthrough.Sometimes it looks like a hotel room.A cup of coffee.A piece of bread.And realizing just how far you've come.Jackie FaberTori Nancelater in life podcast, relationship podcast, friendship, personal growth, self discovery, conscious relationships, nervous system healing, chronic illness, mold illness, food sensitivities, recovery journey, queer relationships, late bloomer lesbian, authentic living, self trust
