On the precipice of a big life change, Linda jumps into the car for a roadtrip to the desert with bestie, model & author Naomi Shimada. They explore the various chapters in their lives, the courage to face challenges and deal with loss and the ever evolving relationship we have with ourselves.

How do we choose relationships that nourish us? How do we take big risks and walk towards change? The two women talk openly about the importance of being alone, plus their ongoing mixed feelings towards social media. As Linda nears the end of her pregnancy, this is precious time with a best friend.
