## Resource

This episode is a love letter to solitude. While I'm away at sea (literally), I’m taking you back to another coastline, Vilano Beach, Florida, where I recently escaped for a solo retreat. I open with a poem I wrote on that trip, "High Tide," (with calming ocean waves in the background!) and then invite you into the quiet, sun-soaked days that followed full of peaceful sunsets, reflections, journal entries, and the gentle unraveling that happens when we let ourselves be alone. I also share why solo travel has become essential for me and how it holds space for solitude, something I believe all women need more of. Later in the episode, I read a passage from Gift from the Sea by Anne Morrow Lindbergh that beautifully echoes this truth. If you'd like to next-level experience this episode (with all the photos, journal entries, and a walk-through video of where I stayed), head to my Substack, Mentally, I'm Here.
