What a Solo Trip Gave Me & How to Return to Yourself
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
When was the last time you made space to really hear yourself? In this episode, Britt shares why she chose to take a five day solo trip to Mendocino after recognizing how far she felt from her internal home, and what solitude revealed about nervous system regulation, chronic outward focus, and the subtle ways we abandon ourselves in responsibility and caregiving.
She explores why stillness can feel uncomfortable before it feels safe, how uncompleted stress cycles live in the body, and how simple rituals like intentional solitude, self witnessing, and small acts of devotion can rebuild internal safety and clarity.
This conversation is a gentle reminder that returning to yourself does not require escape or extravagance, only willingness. You are allowed to take up space in your own life, and you are more capable of coming home to yourself than you think.
