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!


Takeaways

  • Pilgrimages can serve as a gift to oneself. Taking time for personal growth and connection is invaluable.
  • Overcoming financial barriers can lead to fulfilling experiences. Resourcefulness and determination open doors to meaningful opportunities.
  • Synchronicity can reveal deeper connections in life. Being open to unexpected signs and patterns brings clarity and purpose.

  • "You’ve got to take care of yourself before you can take care of anybody else."



    "I told my husband I wanted to do this, and he was so supportive. If I don’t do it now, I’ll never get to do it."



    "It’s like providing a space for you to listen to your heart in ways that day-to-day life doesn’t always allow."
