S1E6: Kindred Spirits & New Horizons | Life-Changing Crossings on the Queen Mary

Join Auntie Rae, your hot pants-wearing, truth-telling storyteller, as she dives deep into the soul-soothing embrace of the legendary Queen Mary 2. After years of corporate exhaustion, Auntie Rae finds the ultimate antidote in the calm elegance of Cunard, feeling her spirit expand and breathe for the first time in years.

In this episode, Auntie Rae recounts serene days at sea, unexpected connections forged over fish and chips with globe-trotting veterans Richard and Debra, and a profound realization about finding kindred spirits beyond complexion. But the tranquility is shattered by a ship-wide medical emergency that sends the Queen Mary 2 on a dramatic detour, forcing Auntie Rae to confront human vulnerability and the preciousness of every breath.

Experience the powerful "plot twist" of an emergency evacuation, a poignant encounter with history near the Titanic's resting place, and Auntie Rae's vow to stop waiting to live. This episode is a testament to slowing down, finding presence, and discovering that joy, love, and wisdom are companions, not distant goals. From the quiet rituals of balcony reflections and elegant tea times (and one too many hazelnut tarts!), to forming an unexpected tribe of resilient souls, Auntie Rae discovers that sometimes, the greatest leaps of faith are taken in stillness.

Tune in to witness how a transatlantic crossing becomes a profound journey back to self—grounded, lit up, and truly ready for whatever new horizons await.
