In this first episode of this four-part series, What's Your Why, I start with my own story. After losing my mom in 2016, grief became the unexpected catalyst that pushed me towards doing life solo. What began as a way to cope slowly with my mom's passing, quickly began to transform into a way to honor her - by saying yes to experiences she never had the chance to live.

I reflect on how my mother's legacy shaped my courage, my independence, and my decision to step out into the world alone. This is a conversation about loss, healing, and finding purpose through solo journeys - no matter what "solo" looks like for you. 

Towards the end of the episode, I invite you to reflect on your own why. If there's a story behind what drives you, I'd love to hear it - reach out via email or connect with me through social media and share what your why is.
