Episode 5: Yucatán – Sunglasses, Sunsets & the Stories We Rewrite

Why we sometimes return—not to relive the past, but to reclaim it.

Ever said you’d never go back—only to find yourself right back where it all began? In this episode of Recalculating, Jolene Dames dives into the beauty (and humbling chaos) of returning to places that won’t stop calling.

From cenotes and lost sunglasses in the Yucatán to almost losing a tooth chasing the sunset in Switzerland, this is a story about what it really means to retrace your steps—not for nostalgia, but for healing, closure, and the chance to rewrite your own ending.

💫 Expect:

  • Existential detours

  • A cameo from a GoPro and a Cadillac on a beach

  • A mini-masterclass on neuroaesthetics (aka how our taste in beauty evolves)

  • And the soul-soothing reminder that the story doesn’t always have to end the way it started.

Whether you’re running to something, from something, or just finding yourself somewhere in between—this episode is for you.

🛣️ Listen now and let yourself return, reframe, and remember better.
Then head to SkewedNorth.com for photos, blog reflections, and more behind-the-scenes musings.
