Day 12 in Panama City, and an impromptu rooftop conversation turned into one of the most real episodes yet.

This episode on Truth Psyrum, I sit down with fellow solo traveler and content creator Jae (@JaeAbroad), an empty nester who left Charleston, SC after a year and a half of living abroad, for an unfiltered conversation about taking chances, trusting yourself, and what it really means to choose discomfort on purpose.

We talk about leaving comfort zones behind, why "analysis paralysis" keeps so many of us stuck, the pressure Black women face to have life figured out by 50, and how astrology (yes, we got into our big threes) plays into the people and experiences we attract. This one wasn't planned, it just happened, and that's exactly the point.
