When Christy Balduf's world shattered with the loss of her 8-year-old daughter, she faced an unthinkable question: How do you keep living when the center of your life is gone? In this deeply human, unfiltered conversation recorded inside Austin's iconic Drifter Jack's Hostel, Christy shares her path from single motherhood and unimaginable grief to rediscovering herself through travel, community, and the unexpected sanctuary of hostel life.

We unpack her journey from Tyler, Texas, to the drum circles, hiking trails, and creative spaces that helped her stay alive—and the promise she made to her daughter that keeps her moving forward.

If you've ever faced loss, wrestled with depression, or wondered how travel can be more than just movement—it can be survival—this episode will stay with you long after it ends.

Listen now for real hostel stories, raw traveler truths, and uncut lessons from the road and as always, trust the process and YOU B THE STORYTELLER!
