In this episode, I have the privilege of speaking with Jessica Willis, a fellow pilgrim on the Camino de Santiago. Together, we explore her journey of discovering the Camino during COVID and feeling called to leap across the ocean to hike this incredible path during a time of transition in her life. Jessica’s children and husband hold a beautiful importance in her heart, and in this episode, we hear firsthand how much they fill her life with love and purpose. I hope you enjoy listening to our conversation as much as I enjoyed having it!
