Bravely Me Podcast (Ep. 2)How to create meaningful time together without pressure, perfection, or overplanning

Hey Brave Ones,

Have you ever counted down the days until an in-person visit with someone you love, only to feel overwhelmed, anxious, or like it didn’t go "perfectly"? You’re not alone.

In this week’s episode of the Bravely Me Podcast, we’re talking about how to make your in-person visits truly count.Not through pressure.Not by packing every second with activities.But through intention, presence, and honest expectations.

Whether you're in a long-distance relationship, visiting family abroad, or navigating co-parenting across borders, this one’s for you.

In this episode:• Why visits can feel more intense than everyday life (and how to soften that pressure)• What to do when expectations clash or the mood is off• Three simple ways to build spaciousness into your time together• How to create shared memories without needing a perfect plan

Key takeaways:• Meaningful connection happens in the in-between moments• It’s okay if some of the visit feels quiet, messy, or awkward• A small ritual, like a night walk, journaling side by side, or a shared playlist, can mean more than a grand gesture
