Episode 49 - Antonio, podcast Host (El Camino: the after party)

The impact of walking 500 miles, especially, El Camino de Santiago de Compostela, is life-changing. How do I bring what I experienced while walking El Camino into my everyday life experience? After listening to fellow pilgrims' stories and lessons about their experience while walking the Camino, in this episode I share my own: what I gained, what I learned, and what ongoing transformation I experience because of it and get to tend to in my life as a contribution to others. I am left with beauty and awe after reviewing my 46 days of travel. What a gift to be able to share it with you in this episode. Special thanks to the Freedom Now!

Episode 48 - Finn Vergalen (Before, During and After El Camino)

Finn Vergalen is just 26 years old and has spent time walking El Camino, not to think about the past, or figure out the future, but from what he discovered -- to be present in the moment. In this episode he talks about having the things that he thought he wanted, then taking the risk to leave what he had become accustomed to but knew was not what his life was about. He also shares how he tries to implement the ways of the Camino into his everyday life. From his journey, Finn has gone beyond “finding his purpose”, and instead has found clarity about the importance of self-perception, discipline, and gratitude. Listen to him share how having walking the Camino is helping him walk into a new stage of his life. Special thanks to the Freedom Now!

El Camino is a great 500 mile walk to experience peace and enjoy self-reflection. And along with that comes a journey of laughter, community, and self-discovery! Lisa Mitchelson began the Camino for the first reason - self-reflection - and ended up experiencing an abundance of the latter and the transformation that it brought her. Lisa lives in Kent, England and is a South African native. She works for an art foundation specializing in African art. In this episode, hear about her experiences with people along the Camino, and what this trip meant for her in this new phase of her life. Special thanks to the Freedom Now!

Episode 43 - Get out of the Box - Host Antonio Goodwin

For the first episode of season 5, Antonio shares his own words of wisdom while walking El Camino de Santiago de Compostela. He explains transformations, what they are, and how they work for us in life. Listen as Antonio talks about his experience looking for areas that live him and how belief and expression drive the processes of change. The most important message, however, is to get out of the box, and in this episode, he tells you exactly how to do that. Special thanks to the Freedom Now!

Episode 46 - The Encounter with my 500 mile Camino Brother - Dustin

From an injury to epiphany. Dustin is an Alaskan Native, German military officer. He studied in Germany and has lived there so long that I've dubbed him my favorite “Germanized-American”. From "security pins" (safety pins) to "mosquito screen" (regular screen in a window), he has his own vocabulary that I love highlighting. Riddled with the effects of COVID-19 for 6 months straight, Dustin was unable to live the life he had once known or wanted. Listen to how he overcomes his physical and mental obstacles to make it to the Camino and experience transformation while on The Way. Special thanks to the Freedom Now!
