Paris. A city I always said I’d only visit with someone special. But here I am — alone, for work, not romance.
In this episode of the story pilgrim, I walk through the heart of Paris for the first time — past the Arc de Triomphe, the Champs Elysees, and the Eiffel Tower — while carrying something heavy: the sting of a recent audition that didn’t go the way I’d hoped.
What unfolds is part travel journal, part personal reckoning, part quiet conversation with failure. I talk about ambition, shame, trousers (yes, there’s a legal twist), and the unexpected grace that sometimes appears when everything seems to fall apart.
This is a walk through disappointment… and the small moments that help us keep going.
If you're walking through something of your own right now, this one’s for you.
