Steps to the Soul — A Camino de Santiago Series — Episode 1

Join me as I embark on a life-changing journey along the Camino de Santiago Frances, also known as the Way of St. James. Over 800 kilometers (550 miles) across Northern Spain, this ancient pilgrimage tested my body, challenged my mind, and awakened my soul. Walk with me as I share the beauty, struggles, and lessons I discovered step by step. Filmed in May-June 2024, this 8-part series captures the essence of transformation and the power of connection on the Camino. I’d love to hear your thoughts, stories from your own Camino, or reflections on this episode in the comments!

The Camino de Santiago Francés: Saint Jean Pied-de-Port, France to Los Arcos, Spain The start of the Camino de Santiago is filled with excitement, anticipation, and a sense of adventure. In the first episode, I dive into the journey's beginning, where every step is a new experience. Not only do I embark on this life-changing adventure, but I also celebrate a milestone birthday along the way—a moment of reflection and new beginnings as I set off on a path that will forever change my life. There were so many people whose advice I wished I had captured for the interview portion. I kept telling myself, 'I’ll get their clip in the next town, tomorrow, or later.' But I never saw them again. It was a powerful reminder to live in the moment and not put things off.
