Welcome to Episode 2 of Train of Thoughts: "How Mindset SAVED Me in a HOT Amtrak Roomette"

What happens when your dream train ride turns into a sweltering nightmare?

In this raw and reflective episode, I share my real-life experience of being stuck in an overheated Amtrak roomette with no communication, no working fan, and no relief in sight. But instead of breaking down, I leaned on something powerful: mindset.

From chasing a rogue showerhead to finding peace in unexpected conversations, this journey was full of discomfort, quiet victories, and personal growth. I share how small moments of kindness, emotional resilience, and perspective shifts helped me navigate a truly challenging situation.

This isn’t just about a bad train ride. It’s about what happens inside when things fall apart outside.
