21. “When can we do that again?!” - On taking myself to "Paris" for the weekend, intuition, and romanticizing life

Like many, I've had a love affair with Paris for as long as I can remember. Also like many, I've never been. So when I came across a charming Airbnb listing themed like the most idyllic little Parisian cottage in the woods, I instantly hit book and planned a very romantic getaway...alone. Just me, myself, and I.

So often we plan romantic trips or experiences FOR a partner but what if you're single? Or what if you just want to shower YOURSELF in that way? You definitely don't need to be in a relationship to be able to find romance, that's for sure!

In this episode, I'll discuss:

• How to cultivate your intuition and build confidence and self-trust (if solo traveling intrigues you but makes you uneasy, you will need confidence to take action!)
• How my own codependency kept me from both my intuition and self trust
• Self-love vs. self care
• Why you should be planning a spicy romantic weekend for yourself
• How I ended up in a Parisian cottage and tales from that trip (including taking my own boudoir photos!)
• Tips for romanticizing your life
