I was on a walkway in Brazil, soaked through, my raincoat sitting on the bus, walking back as fast as I could and repeating under my breath, "This is crazy." Most weeks I talk about solo travel as practice for self-trust. But that Saturday at Iguazu Falls wasn't about practicing anything. And it made me wonder why so many of us need a reason before we let ourselves have the thing we love.

In this episode:

• An update from the road
• The coati and the alfajor
• Two sisters from below
• A raincoat on the bus
• Three frontiers
• Love is a reason

This episode is for you if:

• you only let yourself go when you're burnt out enough to have earned it
• you're a woman over 40 who keeps putting the thing you love behind everybody else's needs
• you travel solo, or with friends, and are intrigued when you hear "pure delight"
• you've ever felt you had to justify a trip before it felt allowed
  
  

Resources mentioned:

• Iguazu Falls blog post with photos
• Live Lab founding cohort available for $147.47, closes September 28 at 12:00 UTC. Email contact@freedomlookslikethis.com.
