“I didn’t just feel like I had to act as both mother and father. I felt like I was both.”
Season 2 // Episode 8
It’s healthy to know who you are. But sometimes, defining yourself too rigidly can be problematic.
On this episode, Bo Jensen takes us from the Gulf of Mexico to the Camino de Santiago and explores what happens when you stop forcing yourself to choose a single identity.
It’s a story about embracing the totality of who you are — and falling in love with new environments, one beach at a time.
