In this episode, Sean sits down with Taylor Judson, a Nova Scotia–born communications professional now living in Ontario, to explore what it means to grow up in a small East Coast community and carry that identity with you.

From her childhood in Lake Echo to navigating a major move at 15, Taylor reflects on the culture shock of leaving Nova Scotia and the subtle ways its influence has stayed with her, from how she speaks to how she connects with others.

Taylor also takes time to reflect on lasting pull of home, especially as the years living away begins to match the years spent in the province. Taylor shares how Nova Scotia still feels like home, not just as a place, but as a feeling — one that shows up in community, pace of life, and the simple things you don’t realize you’ll miss.

Her perfect 24-hour return captures that beautifully: beaches, small-town connections, and the kind of experiences that remind you why Nova Scotia never really leaves you.

In this episode, Sean is joined by Kyle Crawford, a Nova Scotia–born food media professional, content creator, and storyteller now based in Toronto. Kyle reflects on growing up between Halifax and the South Shore, and how those earlyexperiences continue to shape his identity, creativity, and sense of home.

Kyle shares his journey from restaurant work to food media and television, building a career rooted in storytelling through food. Through memories of summer rituals, gray days, and the foods that define the East Coast — from Donairs to clams andchips — Kyle explores why some flavours, and some feelings, only make sense at the source.

And of course, Kyle walks us through his perfectly planned 24 Hours back home in Nova Scotia — from a morning walk to the beach to a late night meetup in Halifax.
