In this episode

The kids leaving home doesn't just free up a calendar. It removes the organizing structure of daily identity. The feeling most women describe isn't grief — it's disorientation: if I'm not managing everyone else's life right now, who am I, and what do I actually want?

We talk about why a luxury vacation doesn't answer that question, why heritage tourism doesn't either, and what a journey built around the question itself looks like.
