• S02E02 | The Painting I Never Bought (And Finally Did)
    Jan 20 2026

    In Trieste’s Sunday market, a small yellow field with a crooked horizon becomes a quiet ghost... a painting left behind for €30 that turns into years of second-guessing. When it reappears eleven years later (more cracked, more expensive, still itself), Elliot finally buys it and, with it, permission to notice again: better cappuccino, braver apologies, small second chances hiding in plain sight. This story isn’t about taste; it’s about timing... how the objects we choose can reset our attention and teach us to say yes without over-explaining. A love letter to Trieste, flea markets, and the grace of repetition with better timing. If this episode found you, follow the show and share it with someone who might need it today.

  • S02E01 | The Wrong Suitcase
    Jan 6 2026

    After a baggage mix-up, Maya brings home a stranger’s suitcase and opens a life by accident: a chef’s apron, a playlist for endurance, and a notebook of tender recipes written between grief notes and reminders to buy flowers on Mondays. In two borrowed days, she cooks his pasta, listens to his songs, and discovers the shape of a man who bakes at 3 a.m. for his daughters. When the airline finally calls, she tucks a small gift into the notebook... a piece of music and a wish for gentler nights. This episode is about the ethics of curiosity, accidental intimacy, and the ordinary artifacts that reveal us more than any headline ever could.
