Long-distance love is never easy but when the heart knows, it knows. In this powerful episode, Stephanie shares the deeply emotional journey of maintaining a cross-border relationship with Jeff, filled with airport goodbyes, missed flights, and tender moments that linger long after they're over. Whether it was a last-minute dash through security or an accidental fuel mishap that led to a missed flight and an unexpected night together, every second became sacred. They clung to every hour they could spend with each other, savoring the small gestures, love notes, sweet treats, and whispered “see you soon”, that kept their connection alive and growing stronger with each visit.

As the distance began to weigh heavier on their hearts, they made the bold decision: Jeff would leave his career, his home, and the life he knew in Canada to build a new one with Stephanie in California. From chasing dreams to literally building a life and business together, this episode is a moving tribute to what it means to go all in for love. It's about the risks we take when our hearts are certain, and the reward of finally getting to live the life we dreamed about for so long. “The Distance Was Unbearable” is a reminder that love, when true, is always worth fighting and waiting for.

My hope is that the stories shared here bring you comfort, inspire hope, and serve as a reminder that even in the darkest moments, light still exists.
