When you’re alone in a new city, away from everything you’ve ever known, homesickness can be quick to creep in and seemingly never leave. It’s normal to start to feel disconnected from parts of yourself and people you love, but you won’t always feel so helpless as long as you stand on business. Hopefully, this episode gives you space to be grateful for the past, intentional in your present, and optimistic for the future.

Understanding who you are and how you respond to certain scenarios can help you move through life with more confidence.
