About this episode
The episode explores how unexpected inconveniences can lead to self-discovery and a change in perspective.
The underside of the 15-passenger van started screaming halfway down a hill in Western Massachusetts. They were fifteen minutes from a chocolate factory. On schedule. On mission. The noise did not belong. What followed wasn’t heroic or efficient. It was an awkward stop in a place they didn’t expect to be, a handful of small exchanges, and a day that slowly began to feel different than the one we had planned. Some inconveniences interrupt you. Others expose something you didn’t know you needed.
