Victoria shares what the trip taught her about letting go of control, trusting detours, and creating space to actually hear her inner voice again. She opens up about the journaling prompt that led to a major breakthrough, why the unplanned parts of the trip ended up being the most magical, and how the whole experience felt like the closing of one chapter and the beginning of another. Plus, Vic and Max reflect on getting older, navigating life transitions, and why this trip gave them both a deeper sense of clarity about what they want next. Tune in for a thoughtful, funny, and unexpectedly emotional road trip recap!
