In this episode, Stephanie shares the whirlwind reality of uprooting her life and preparing for a bold move across the globe. After deciding to join Tim on a new adventure in Melbourne, Australia, the excitement quickly gave way to lists, logistics, and lingering emotions. From selling the salon she and Jeff built together to renting out her home and making the deeply personal decision to part with Jeff’s beloved truck, Stephanie opens up about the emotional layers of transitioning into a new chapter, while still honoring the past. With humor, vulnerability, and honesty, she walks us through the chaos of packing a life and the grace it takes to let go without erasing what once was.

Stephanie also reflects on the beauty of having loved deeply-twice and how that love, while different, has shaped the woman she’s become. Tim’s understanding and tenderness, even speaking to Jeff for guidance, adds a layer of compassion to this journey that’s both inspiring and heartwarming. As Stephanie prepares to leave everything familiar behind, she reminds us that rebuilding doesn’t mean forgetting. It means choosing courage again and again. This episode is a powerful tribute to reinvention, resilience, and the quiet magic of leaping into the unknown, fully present, fully human, and wide open to love.
