In this episode, we take a deeper look into the conversations that shaped our time abroad and the perspectives that will stay with us long after the trip ended. While in Ireland we had the opportunity to sit down with people from different chapters of life and different backgrounds and those conversations became the heart of this episode.
We begin with a conversation surrounding grief with Dolcie’s longtime friend Shannon, exploring how loss changes us, how it’s carried over time, and what it looks like to hold space for grief while continuing to live fully. We even talk about what grief looks like for those like Tristen, who has not experienced significant loss through death but rather through strained familial relationships. We then talk with our Airbnb host Declan about romantic relationships, and the wisdom that comes from lived experience through divorce and finding love again decades later. Finally, we share a meaningful conversation with two women we met at a local café about using your voice and platform to foster community, connection, and belonging.
This episode centers on the importance of travel, expanding your worldview, and listening to perspectives beyond your own. We reflect on how human connection transcends borders, why curiosity and openness matter, and how valuing the humanity of others can deepen empathy, understanding, and growth.
If you’ve ever felt changed by a conversation, inspired by a stranger, or reminded that the world is both bigger and more connected than it seems, this episode is for you.
