God guided me through 3,000 miles of wilderness and 400 funerals with Diane Gaunsauer

Diane Gansauer shares her extraordinary journey of transformation from a successful but unfulfilling career in wildlife conservation to becoming a funeral celebrant and long-distance hiker, discovering her true purpose along the way.

• Leaving a 20-year executive career that looked perfect on paper but felt misaligned with her soul
• Receiving a divine opportunity to establish a celebrant program for North America's largest funeral service provider
• Hiking 3,000 miles from Mexico to Canada over seven years, starting at age 61
• Finding deep spiritual connection in nature and seeing God's presence in both the wilderness and in honoring lives at funerals
• Writing "The Waypoints" about the overlap between hiking lessons and insights from 400 memorial services
• Learning to travel light—physically, emotionally, and spiritually—by leaving behind what no longer serves
• Transitioning to being a "trail angel" who helps other hikers along their journey
• Recognizing that God often speaks through nature and uses pain as a catalyst for necessary change
• Understanding that our comfort zones are often actually "misery zones" we stay in out of fear

The Waypoints: From 400 Farewells and 3,000 Miles is available on Amazon and at independent bookstores.
