Episode 7: “You Don’t Need a Reason to Travel Alone! How to Say Yes Without an Excuse."

Ever feel like you have to give a TED Talk just to take a solo trip? Like, why is "I just wanna be alone with my thoughts and my snacks" not a good enough reason? In this episode, we’re dismantling the idea that you need permission, pain, or a “reason” to travel solo.

We’re talkin’ Beyoncé in Eat, Pray, Leave Me Alone energy. We’re sprinkling in some wisdom, some Black movie gems, and maybe a little sass from your favorite auntie. So pack light—but don’t forget your boundaries.

🧳 Featuring:

  • Hip-hop quotes that’ll hype you up

  • Movie lines from Waiting to Exhale, Poetic Justice, and Set It Off

  • The one phrase to shut down the “why are you going alone?” crew

    • Journal prompt + affirmation to remind you who TF you are.


    Perfect for: first-time solo travelers, mindful nomads, travel-anxious introverts, and anyone tired of waiting for "the right time."

     Spoiler: The right time is now.
