   Analog hobbies, cozy fall things and a scheduling update - Ep 123

   Embrace the fall season and return to your favorite analog hobbies to help you slow down as we lean into fall fully. In this episode, I am reflecting on the shift in seasons and why I am prioritizing comforting routines as the weather changes. I discuss the importance of having hobbies and making time to do things on your fall bucket list. If you have been looking for permission to step away from the screen and reconnect with yourself, this conversation is for you. Plus, a scheduling update for the end of the year! Thanks as always for listening and for your patience with my schedule!

   Booking a solo trip? Listen to this first - Ep 122

   She’s back from across the pond! Today I wanted to share my experience on my recent solo trip to Edinburgh, Scotland! Solo travel is something I’ve always wondered about but have never really done before. Sure, I’ve flown by myself to meet others, but this felt like a true adventure for just me. I chose Edinburgh because it felt like the right mix of being far away but nothing too unfamiliar to what I’m used to already. From what I did to stay safe while traveling by myself, how I handled meals alone and what I’d recommend if you’re thinking about booking a solo trip for the first time. This was my first-ever solo trip and I’ll also share how I decided on Edinburgh and whether or not I’d rush to book another solo trip. Plus, I’m of course sharing what Edinburgh is like as a solo traveler from the public transit to the best sightseeing in the city.
