The Healing Process: Why Embracing Change is Necessary

EP 35

Solo Travel, Self-Grief & Choosing Kindness: Building a Relationship With Yourself | Park Your Thoughts

In this episode of Park Your Thoughts, I sit down with Nana to unpack self-awareness in friendships and the grief that comes with realizing you’re not who you thought you were. We talk about building a relationship with yourself through solo travel—Nana’s first trips to Switzerland (inspired by her mentor’s post-cancer adventures) and New York—and what those experiences revealed about freedom, courage, kindness, and how environment shapes our personality. We reflect on UK vs US social culture, how protecting your energy can become exhausting, and how intersectionality can keep you on guard. We also share therapy-style reflections on fear, vulnerability, discipline (including 75 Hard), anxiety regulation, and the surprising calm that comes after healing from a past situationship.
