A Most Essential Oil: Lost Luggage, Lavender, and a Family Trip to France (Dispatch 9)
About this episode
Jeff's lavender obsession has always been a family joke — until it's the only thing that gets his bag back.
In this episode, Jeff traces a family trip to the lavender fields of Provence that spirals into a canceled flight, a four-hour security line in 100-degree heat, and ten days of missing luggage, resolved only when a familiar scent leads him through a restricted door at LAX.
This is the ninth episode of Diaries of a Dance Dad, an audio memoir series in Jeff's own words. It spans the full arc of parenthood: the inhale of birth and early chaos, the grind of no sleep and travel with kids, the gut-punches of failure, and the slow exhale of letting go.
