spending my birthday alone in Turkey

I went on a short solo trip to Turkey to celebrate my birthday - and things didn’t go as planned. In this episode, I talk about loneliness, unmet expectations, and how disappointment slowly turned into something softer and more accepting. It’s a reflection on being alone, traveling solo, and finding calm in unexpected moments. A quiet story about letting go of how things “should” look.Listen on all platforms: https://pod.link/1829512132?view=apps&sort=popularity
