Go Girl Podcast

In this week of Go-Girl I am telling you where I have been. I am letting you know why I have been missing, and articulating the one thing that has the ability to slow me down in my go-girl era. It wasn’t the North Sea. It wasn’t the boat, or international travel with a cat. I cleared those hurdles and yes while the boat has come with some deep breaths, it has not required my whole capacity.  My Go...

Today I am telling you about the first contending points of this adventure. What it really is to travel with a cat. How it feels to be a nanny during work hours, and work on a boat in the evenings and weekends. And lastly, what it was like to meet my project boat for the first time. In this episode of Go-Girl I am telling you about where the rubber hits the road in this adventure. The hops and ski...

Today is just a check in. This is a quick episode to pause, catch my breath mid stride, and give you my current status. If I define adventures as capacity expanding experiences, this trip has been an adventure, and this podcast is being recorded at the moment of expansion. This is the moment where I am crossing a threshold from an old version of me into this new version. Folks, it is a bumpy ride,...

In this episode of Go Girl I am telling you the plan for how HRH Queen Guinevere Cinnamon Cupcake and I will make our way from our tiny cabin, across the Atlantic, land in Paris and head north to Dieppe to catch a ferry to England. The road has already had twists and turns, and we haven’t even left! International travel  can be a challenge—throw a cat in mix and it becomes an extra special ball of...

It took 3 sisters, two weeks, and one wild goose chase, but it happened. I am now the very proud owner of a little 1988 Itchen Ferry–a 25 foot project boat intended to be my home. I know so little about boats, nevertheless, I feel very confident that I can get this up and running into a liveaboard vessel in the matter of 6 weeks.  But what have I bought? In this episode I will tell you everything...

I have imagined sailing the ocean, I have sung sea shanties in the Costa Rican cloud forest, and I have seen it represented in films and tv shows. But what is it actually like?  Up until one year ago, I had never been on a sailing boat. I still get terribly car sick if I am not mindful, and I have honestly been a little afraid of the idea of sailing. My sisters now live across the Atlantic, and up...

In this episode I am taking you on a journey into the history of the a small market town on the shoreline of south eastern England. Once a landmass that connected Britain to Europe, over the last few millennia it has been the site of both division and connection as wave after wave of new people and cultures found their way from the Mainland Europe to the place we now called Britain. Traces of this...

In this episode I am going to naively tell you my simple plan for achieving this semi nomadic dream. Now is the perfect time to tell you because, while I have taken some concrete steps towards this goal, I am still relatively ignorant of just how much work this dream will be, how many tears it will demand from me, and how deeply I will doubt myself along the way.

This is Go-Girl —a podcast devoted to documenting the adventure era of my life–my go-girl era.  At 40 years old, I live happily solo with my siamese cat, Queen Guenevere and together we are setting out to live a semi nomadic life. I spent most of my adulthood trying to be normal, but now I am ready to run and I am not slowing down for folks to catch up–You can tie me up, but not down because life...
