Listen "Paris: Graceful Expectations"
Episode Synopsis
Send us a textParis. A city I always said I’d only visit with someone special. But here I am — alone, for work, not romance.In this episode of the story pilgrim, I walk through the heart of Paris for the first time — past the Arc de Triomphe, the Champs Elysees, and the Eiffel Tower — while carrying something heavy: the sting of a recent audition that didn’t go the way I’d hoped.What unfolds is part travel journal, part personal reckoning, part quiet conversation with failure. I talk about ambition, shame, trousers (yes, there’s a legal twist), and the unexpected grace that sometimes appears when everything seems to fall apart.This is a walk through disappointment… and the small moments that help us keep going.If you're walking through something of your own right now, this one’s for you.🎧 Don’t forget to follow the story pilgrim on your favourite podcast app. 📺 You can also watch the full walk on YouTube: https://youtu.be/-i1p7bVM9TQQuote of the episode: "In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer." — Albert CamusConnect with me: Instagram / Twitter / Facebook / YouTube – @thestorypilgrim www.thestorypilgrim.comthe story pilgrim – sharing sacred stories on the pilgrimage through life.
