What the Road Is Teaching Me
About This Conversation
What happens when you spend thirty days on the road with your mom?
Broadcasting from South Carolina, Denise checks in from the middle of a month-long journey across the country. What begins as stories about beaches, bookstores, bridges, barking dogs, and Memorial Day becomes a deeper conversation about fear, family, and what travel reveals about who we are.
Together, Denise and Tim reflect on honoring those who served, facing the things that scare us, visiting family, and navigating the joys and challenges of spending extended time with a parent as adults.
Sometimes the best part of a road trip isn't the destination—it's the conversations, unexpected discoveries, and moments of clarity that happen somewhere along the way.
Join us as we explore what the road is teaching us about courage, connection, and the stories we're still writing.
