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.

Betrayal Season 5
Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
