What If Home Is the Space You Carry Within?

Five and a half years ago, I packed my bags, boarded a plane and left Australia for Houston, Texas. I didn’t know exactly what I was heading into – I just knew it was time for something different. And boy, has it been one wild, winding, unexpected adventure.

Not long after I arrived, the world changed. Covid hit. Lockdowns began. And with the entire world going quiet, something in me got loud. The silence, the isolation, the stillness – it became the perfect environment to face what I had spent a lifetime trying to outrun. The addictions I had danced with, avoided, flirted with and battled finally had their moment at center stage. And I couldn’t look away.

Fast forward to now – three years clean and sober. That sentence still catches in my throat some days, not because it’s hard to say, but because of how far I’ve come. It’s not just the absence of substances that defines these years– it’s the presence of me. For the first time in forever, I know who’s actually living in this body, choosing this life, showing up each day. And what a gift it is.

Now, I’m heading back to Australia. Back down under. Back to one of the many places I call home.

Because here’s the thing – home has shifted for me. It used to be a physical location. A city, a house, a familiar smell in the hallway. But these days, home is something more subtle. It’s the space I carry within me. It’s the knowing that wherever I go, I don’t leave myself behind. It’s the awareness that I no longer need to escape anything – including me.

So I wonder… what is home to you?

Is it a zip code? A memory? A feeling? Or could it be the unshakable presence of you being you, no matter where you are, who you’re with, or what the world is doing?

If you’re in a place right now where you feel like you’re still searching for something – whether it’s a sense of peace, clarity, purpose or even just a moment to exhale – I want you to know something: you’re not alone.

I’ve walked that road. I know what it’s like to question everything and wonder if you’ll ever find what you’re looking for. And I also know what it’s like to discover that what you’re seeking isn’t outside of you – it’s inside. It always has been.

And if you'd like someone to walk beside you as you explore, unravel or even rebuild, I’ll be there. We don’t have to do this life thing alone.

So I’ll ask you this, with all the curiosity and no conclusion:
What else is possible you’ve never considered?

And are you willing to find out?
