I’ll be back soon with fresh ideas, new energy, and more stories to share. In the meantime, my moonbeams, take yourself somewhere quiet or loud, fun and adventurous and embrace the discovery of something new about yourself.

Exploring what happens when you have a desire to learn a different language, and that desire takes you LITERALLY out of the country! 

In this poetic and personal 2-part episode series of My Solo Chronicles, I sit down with Prism, who as a student in 2018, spent a transformative year alone in Germany. We trace the inner and outer landscapes of her solo journey—from taking on the challenge of climbing 533-spiral stairs of the Cologne Cathedral in Germany and visiting unfamiliar streets, to the quiet moments that shaped her from within.

We talk about navigating solitude in a foreign country, and the subtle art of adapting without losing yourself.

Join us as we reflect on how living abroad alone wasn’t just about travel and education, but about learning to listen to herself, to grow through discomfort, and to come home with a deeper understanding of who she is.

When a solo trek across the U.S. at just 15 sparks a lifelong curiosity about the world beyond your front door, it can set the course for a life of bold adventures. In this three-part series, I sit down with bestselling author, producer, director, and podcaster Wells Jones to explore the early travels that fueled his passion for discovery—and ultimately led him to places most only dream about.

From serving as a pararescue and survival officer in the Antarctic with the U.S. Navy, to co-leading Kayak for a Cause (setting a Guinness World Record with 313 sea kayaks alongside co-author Miles Spencer), to Running with the Bulls in Spain, Wells has collected stories that are as daring as they are inspiring.

We also discuss his bestselling book, A Line in the Sand, and how his real-life journeys shaped the stories within. Through it all, Wells hopes to encourage others to step outside their comfort zones and discover the world for themselves.
