Continental Confessions

I sat down with my friend Sarah Grady, an American living in Florence, Tuscany, to talk about her journey abroad, personal reinvention, and finding her way back to herself. A former psychotherapist, spiritual teacher, doula, and author of Homecoming, Sarah shares what it means to create a life that truly feels like your own.

In this episode, I sit down with my friend and spiritual advisor, Zoe, to talk about the twin flame journey, what it means to meet someone who feels like your counterpart, why these connections can be so intense, and what separation, healing and personal growth have to do with finding your way back to yourself.

We talk about recognizing a twin flame connection, the push and pull that can come with it, divine timing, surrender, and why the journey isn't simply about ending up with another person.

Because maybe the real purpose of a connection that changes you isn't just finding your way to them. Maybe it's coming home to yourself first.

What happens to love, dating, and relationships when you build a life across borders? In Episode 11, I sit down with my friend Yvonne, whom I met in Sicily, to talk about the realities of living globally, from Europe to Bali and back again, and how those experiences shape the way we approach love, independence, and relationships. We get into dating across cultures, creating a life on your own terms, and the truth we’ve both learned along the way: we may want men, but we certainly don’t need them.

After Episode 9, my DM's filled up with questions, about dating abroad, independence, men, women, and relationships. So this week, I’m answering them. Candidly, unfiltered, and with a few dating stories that still make me laugh.
