Send us a textIn this solo episode of the story pilgrim, I leave the front door of my new home in Mile Oak, East Sussex, and walk up onto the South Downs, carrying only my thoughts and a few well-worn quotes from voices that have shaped my path: Plato, A.A. Milne, Freddie Mercury, Glenn Berger, and Slavoj Žižek.This isn’t a grand adventure episode. No faraway landscapes, no guest interviews. This one’s local. Grounded. Real. It’s about how place, routine, and the quiet hum of everyday life influence the big questions we carry.I talk about:The challenge of being open while remaining private, especially as someone who creates a public-facing persona.The quiet but constant tug between wanderlust and rootedness.What it means to let emotion rise when you’ve spent years keeping it down.How quotes from philosophy, literature, music, and theatre still spark new reflections every time you read them on foot.I reflect on what it means to feel at home, how things like a mortgage, a rescue dog, and a compost bin unexpectedly shape your creative life, and how the questions we ask tend to multiply the deeper we go.👣 This episode is for you if you’re into:Philosophical storytellingWalking as a way of thinkingQuotes that make you pauseSlow travel and mindful reflectionThe tension between adventure and domestic lifeReal, unfiltered thoughts on creativity, identity, and adulthood🎧 Featuring quotes and reflections from:Plato – “The unexamined life…”A.A.
