In more ways than one, our circles have tightened in the last year. And while for some family has been out of reach, for others, it's been a constant. In this episode we hear from a new mom, Aly Nicklas, and a daughter, Paulina Dao, as they reflect on the ways in which their relationships with family have shifted during the pandemic. We also explore how getting out in the outdoors together, away from the everyday routine, helps to strengthen our family bonds - whatever family means to us.About the series: This special She Explores miniseries is made in collaboration with Subaru.The last year has been marked by loss and longing, but it hasn't dampened our sense of adventure or our tendency to dream: of far off places, of time in movement with loved ones. And throughout, there's been comfort in knowing a place we feel most like ourselves: behind the wheel, on the way to our favorite local trailheads, swim spots, and mountainsides.With our eyes in the rear view as much as they are looking at the road ahead, through this four part series we’ll tell stories about finding adventure locally, reconnecting with those close to us, and taking the side roads that bring us back to what drives us: connection, purpose, and creativity. Featured in this episode: Paulina Dao & Aly NicklasHosted & Produced by Gale StraubEdited by Julie HotzA Production of Ravel MediaResources:Featured in this episode:Paulina Dao | Instagram | WebsiteAly Nicklas | Instagram | WebsiteLearn more about the Subaru Outback OnyxLearn more about the Subaru Crosstrek SportAll Four Episodes of Navigating Through Are Available Now Wherever You Listen to She ExploresMusic by Josh Woodward Podcast Art by Hailey Hirst
