ESCAPING MY PROBLEMS FOR A DAY

2020-02-22 · YouTube · Foodie Beauty · 21 min

Chantal takes an impromptu solo road trip to clear her head after recent life stressors (breakup, health issues, upcoming changes). She stops for Popeye's, debates shopping in Kingston, has a Starbucks/bathroom break, decides to visit her mom, crosses the U.S. border to try a casino with a friend, hits some small wins, buys American gas-station snacks, and reflects about therapy and coping with emotions throughout the day.
