#85 - The Geography of Missing

After twenty-three years of guiding, I share the raw truth about what it costs to live other people's adventures while missing your own life. This deeply personal reflection explores what I call the "geography of missing" - all the spaces where I should have been but wasn't - and examines the weight of constantly being outside my own existence.

From missed family moments to my decision to finally step back from scheduled guiding, I explore the emotional reality of a life spent creating magic for others while my own relationships learned to exist without me. It's honest, uncomfortable, and necessary - especially for anyone who travels for work or has ever felt like a visitor in their own life.

A raw look at the cost of following your passion when that passion takes you away from everyone you love.
