Challenges of adjusting to life in a small town, including emotional moments, weight struggles, and voice issues. I share two stranger encounters that really stood out: one involving misogyny and the other with a woman talking at me for hours.

I talk about the complexities of navigating new social dynamics, living in isolation, and learning to find balance. Along the way, I touch on self-care, how my weight continues to fluctuate despite my best efforts, and the difficulties of self-management while living in a rural area with limited access to support.

This episode is a blend of personal reflections, raw emotions, and insights on self-reliance while adjusting to new environments. Tune in to hear more about my journey and how I’m making sense of it all.

Two months into living in an isolated Californian rural town, I’m still figuring things out—navigating PMDD, building a new routine, and focusing on self-care. In this episode, I share what my days look like, from journaling and mindset shifts to managing my online business.

I also talk about what it’s like living alone in a place this remote, the challenges and benefits of a more off-the-grid lifestyle, and how I’ve been making it work. If you’ve ever felt stuck, isolated, or in need of a fresh start, you might relate.

Let’s talk about starting over, self-care, and turning a “side hustle” into a main hustle.

Recorded in October 2020, this was the beginning of my podcast journey. At the time, I was driving solo across the lower 48 states as a trucker. This raw, unfiltered recording captures my thoughts on life on the road, long hours in solitude, and the endless stream of ideas that led me to create this podcast. It’s a glimpse into my mind and my beginnings—messy, but honest.
