If I Never Get to See the Northern Lights A true story about the song that saved me, the swing that held me, and the love I never stopped waiting for.

In this bonus episode, I’m sharing something I’ve never said out loud—about the late-night ritual that kept me going during some of the loneliest years of my life. A porch swing. A pair of headphones. A country song on repeat. And a love that lived quietly in my bones while the rest of my life demanded everything else.

This isn’t a breakup story. It’s a soul story. It’s about hope, memory, grief, and the kind of love that finds a way to exist even if it hasn’t come back yet.

If you’ve ever loved someone in silence… If you’ve ever let a song carry you through a season… If you’ve ever pictured your future with someone who wasn’t ready yet— This one’s for you.
