About this listen

Paths Unscripted: Season 1 is a heart-centered exploration of resilience, reinvention, and reclaiming dreams after life’s toughest setbacks. As a solo female traveller in her 60s, I take you through my deeply personal journey of transforming challenges into opportunities and finding freedom on the road.

This season begins with the foundational question: Why am I here? I share how health struggles, financial difficulties, and emotional turmoil pushed me to reimagine my future and embrace the unscripted path of a nomadic lifestyle. From rebuilding my life to navigating chronic illness, creating a home on wheels, and finding joy in simplicity, each episode offers a glimpse into the trials and triumphs of starting over.

Throughout the season, I reflect on the lessons learned, the emotional hurdles overcome, and the practical strategies that have kept me moving forward. Whether it’s designing a functional campervan, traveling with pets, selling a house, or living on a tight budget, this season highlights the power of resilience, creativity, and authenticity in crafting a meaningful life.

With raw storytelling, heartfelt reflections, and practical insights, Paths Unscripted: Season 1 invites listeners to connect with their own "why," embrace change, and find beauty in the unexpected. If you’ve ever faced a setback, questioned your purpose, or dreamed of a simpler, more intentional life, this season is for you.
