In today's episode, we are tackling a difficult subject--what happens when you can't go back home. I’ll share a bit what it felt like moving back to the Bible Belt of Western North Carolina after living abroad for four years . 

We'll discuss the hard truths of growing and evolving, and how I came to the realization that we cannot un-change or un-grow.  We will delve into the pain and difficulties of returning home after experiencing such a transformation, the struggles of reconciling our past selves with our current selves, as well as the art of letting go.
