I woke up before dawn in Bremer Bay to write my morning pages by the beach, and what started as a quiet morning turned into one of those days that makes you believe in synchronicity. Within hours of sitting at the only dry table in town, I'd met a dozen locals who felt like kindred spirits—artists, former teachers, ex-SAS soldiers turned energy healers, and people who'd accidentally ended up here when their vans broke down 13 years ago and just... stayed.

This episode is about those weird moments when you're questioning whether you're getting too far out there with your "finding yourself" journey, and then the universe decides to seat you at a table with people who are on the exact same wavelength. I talk about meeting Jodie the artist (who's given away a dozen copies of The Artist's Way), spending the evening with Leo (who has both his SAS hat and his energy healer conference badge hanging in his workshop), and somehow ending up with plans to learn how to build a rock wall and get an energy healing session.

It's about what happens when you stop planning and start following those weird gut pulls to places you've never heard of. Also, there's a surprisingly intense subplot about acquiring the last sourdough loaf in town.
