In this different kind of episode, Jackie sits down with her friend Walker Smith for an honest, unscripted conversation about being at a crossroads. Walker shares how a childhood spent traveling the world shaped his perspective from an early age, why hospitality and human connection still drive his curiosity, and how a delayed dream of becoming a bush pilot in Namibia has forced him to reexamine what he really wants. Together, they explore purpose, courage, solo travel, community, relationships, people-pleasing, and what it actually takes to choose growth over staying comfortable. If you’ve been feeling the pull toward a bigger life but haven’t quite made your move yet, this conversation might be the nudge you need.
