I took a solo trip to Missouri to visit a university I’ve been considering for grad school — and it turned into so much more than a campus tour.

In this episode, I talk about what it felt like to travel alone for something that could shape my future, the unexpected moments that shifted my perspective, and what Missouri taught me about independence, intuition, and the kind of life I actually want to build.

This wasn’t just a school visit. It was a reminder that sometimes you have to physically step into a place to understand whether it fits the person you’re becoming.

One of the highlights of my year — and a turning point I didn’t see coming.
