About this episode

The episode discusses the benefits of being a passenger rather than a driver, exploring themes of independence and community support.

hi hello hey, guess who has the best job?? us, because we don’t have to drive! We’re all well aware of the perks of driving—the privacy of your own car, the freedom to go anywhere at any time—but what about the perks of being a passenger princess (or prince)? Driving takes visual, mental, and physical energy that we simply don’t have to spend, which means more room to save money, relax, and stay relatively safe. We also talk about the importance of finding ways to navigate semi-independently and encourage y’all to lean into it when possible—whether that’s public transportation, rideshares, or tapping into your broader community instead of relying on the same person every time. However you do it, we hope you flex those mental muscles and get creative if you’re feeling stuck. We had so much fun recording this episode—something about it felt like classic  Rare with Flair . Don’t worry though, we’ll be back to our usual shenanigans next episode as we recap the 2026 Hermansky-Pudlak Syndrome conference! related episodes For more episodes where we talk about driving (or not driving), check these out: 23. two blind girls take a driving test : why we choose not to bioptic…
