🚗 The Healing Power of a Road Trip

🚗 The Healing Power of a Road Trip
A Trixie Unfiltered Reflection on Why You Deserve to Get in the Car and Go

Listen, babe—sometimes the best kind of healing doesn’t come from a retreat in Bali or a five-star spa with cucumber water and strangers touching your face.

Sometimes, it comes from a good old-fashioned road trip.

And no, I’m not talking about a carefully curated influencer moment with matching luggage and a three-day itinerary. I mean the kind of road trip where you grab a hoodie, a bag of chips, a fully charged phone, and hit the highway with absolutely no expectations—just freedom and maybe a questionable motel reservation waiting on the other end.

We all need a break. But here’s the truth:
You don’t have to go far or spend big to feel like yourself again.
Short vacations count. Little escapes matter. You don’t need Paris—you need peace. And peace might just be a two-hour drive and a gas station slushie away.

Because what your soul craves isn’t fancy.
It’s quiet.
It’s space.
It’s laughing until you cry with your best friend in a sketchy diner somewhere that doesn’t serve lattes but does serve clarity with a side of curly fries.

A short getaway is like CPR for your spirit. You come back with new air in your lungs, a lighter heart, and maybe a hilarious story about taking the wrong exit and ending up at a petting zoo (don’t ask).

Healing doesn’t have to be expensive or dramatic.
Sometimes it’s just… unplugging.
Driving without an agenda.
Letting the wind mess up your hair and not caring.
Waving at cows. Screaming Taylor Swift lyrics. Crying over nothing and everything.
Remembering you’re still alive—and that’s enough.

So go.
Book the cheap hotel.
Eat the gas station candy.
Take the dang selfie with the world’s largest fork.

Healing is waiting—and it doesn’t need a passport. Just a playlist and a tank of gas.

A Few Good Men ( Just a Day in the life of TRIXIE) A story too funny not to share

  There I was, playing my usual role of “Totally Not Eavesdropping Walmart Spy” in the checkout line, when I lock eyes on Mr. Mystery in front of me. He’s got a bouquet so lush it could make Martha Stewart weep, two bottles of whiskey that scream “I’ve got plans,” and a giant vitamin pack that says “I’m trying to live past 40.” Honestly, you can tell an entire biography about someone just by their grocery haul. The cashier leans in with that conspiratorial wink and coos, “You must be in big trouble, honey—those flowers are stunning!” She practically flutters around him, pitching scenarios: anniversary rescue, apology for forgetting Valentine’s Day, maybe he accidentally joined a florist’s loyalty program. My inner romantic couldn’t help but cringe for this poor guy under the floral spotlight. So, I clear my throat and jump in with my best “nobody panic” tone: “Or—hear me out—you’re just a really nice guy who likes to surprise a lucky lady.” Because, duh, chivalry is alive and well...

✨ Blog Title: Becoming Her: The Journey Back to You✨

There comes a moment in every woman’s life when she looks in the mirror and realizes… she doesn’t recognize the girl staring back at her. Not because she’s aged—because she’s evolved. Because she’s spent so long pouring into everyone else, she forgot what it felt like to pour into herself. Maybe you’ve been a mother, a wife, a caretaker, a fixer, a “hold it all together-er.” Maybe you’ve been surviving instead of living. Maybe you’ve lost pieces of yourself trying to be everything to everyone else. Trixie sees you. Because Trixie is you. 🪞Learning to Love the Woman in the Mirror Loving yourself isn’t about bubble baths and affirmation sticky notes (though I love a good post-it pep talk). It’s about choosing yourself. Again. And again. And again. It’s about saying: “I matter.” “I deserve softness and joy.” “I am allowed to take up space.” Self-love is a daily decision—some days it’s loud and fierce. Other days, it’s just getting out of bed and brushing your teeth when your heart is hea...

Making Wave TRIXIE UNFILTERED™ BLOG

  🖤 TRIXIE UNFILTERED™ BLOG Episode Recap: How One Thought Shift Can Send Ripples Through Your Entire Life 🎧 Inspired by The Mel Robbins Podcast Let’s be real, babe. You ever listen to something that hits so hard you just… pause the dishes mid-scrub and stare off into the void like, “Damn. That was meant for me.” Yeah. That’s what happened when I listened to Mel Robbins break down how one internal shift — just one — can send ripples through your entire life. This isn’t about hustle culture. It’s not about waking up at 5AM, drinking beetroot juice, and manifesting a Tesla. This is about radical awareness . 💥 “You’re not stuck — you’re rehearsed.” Mel said something that punched me in the gut: “You’re not stuck. You’ve just been rehearsing the same pattern so long that it’s become your reality.” Whew. Let that marinate. How many times have we told ourselves we can’t change because “this is just who I am”? Trixie used to say that. Now Trixie knows better. We’re not stuck. ...
