## Resource

Wendi shares a very real (and slightly painful) lesson from a Caribbean cruise where she forgot one very important thing… sunscreen. Through sunburn struggles, herbal improvisation using tea, and a surprising moment involving improperly sealed jam, this episode highlights how preparedness isn’t just about emergencies. It’s about mindset, awareness, and the skills you carry with you wherever you go. This light, story-driven episode reminds us that even when we mess up, our knowledge and experience can step in and help us take care of ourselves and others.
