Episode #24: Who knew that a simple road trip could turn into such an adventure? Picture this: a flat tire on a deserted dirt road in Southern Utah, all on a quiet Mother's Day Sunday. That's just one of the unexpected twists we encountered as we embraced our new life as empty nesters. From Malibu's sunny beaches to the rugged beauty of Utah, we're rediscovering ourselves beyond parenthood. Our escapades include reconnecting with old friends, enjoying a girls' weekend in Palm Springs, and soaking in mountain greenery. Join us as we share laughs, reflect on the fun and frustrations of this new chapter, and explore the freedom to reclaim our time and passions.

Our tire troubles didn’t just provide a good story, they taught us a thing or two about car safety. After a $1,300 towing bill, we learned the hard way about the importance of having a spare tire or a tire kit, especially when venturing into remote areas. While waiting for rescue, we made the most of our time with a delightful breakfast at a health food store called the Mercantile. We hope our story encourages you to be prepared for any unforeseen road trip hiccups. We'd love to hear your thoughts and stories, so jump on Instagram and share with us.
