My Solo Chronicles
Real Stories of Bold Moves and Braver Moments
Welcome to a space where solo adventures take center stage. Whether it’s traveling solo, attending events on my own, or embracing the great outdoors, I share personal stories of stepping outside my comfort zone—with safety always a top priority. Along the way, I’ve met incredible people and experienced unforgettable (and often hilarious) moments that have shaped my journey.
But this isn’t just about my story. I’ll also feature fellow solo explorers who’ve dared to venture into the unknown, proving that you don’t always need company to have an amazing time.
Each episode is here to inspire you to live boldly, embrace independence, and discover the joy of doing things on your own. Because sometimes, the best adventures begin when you go solo.

What happens when life forces you to start over—and you finally decide to choose yourself?
In this second part of this 3-part series, I continue my conversation with Coretta, discussing the deeply personal journey from childhood trauma, her divorce, and what led her into a season of solo living, self-discovery, and faith.
Coretta shares how serving in the military shaped her, what it was like navigating loneliness after moving to Boston, and how that quiet season challenged her to confront who she was, what she believed, and what she truly wanted for her life. We explore the role her Christian faith played in helping her rebuild, and how it grounded her through some of the most uncertain moments of her journey. Her journey is a reminder that choosing yourself isn’t selfish—it’s the first step toward becoming who you were always meant to be.
