Everyday Pilgrims
Greetings, Beloveds! I’ve returned from my walk along Spain’s Camino de Santiago, and on this episode of The Gathering Room, I’m sharing what it taught me about turning everyday life into a pilgrimage. I explore how adventure, faith, and story weave meaning into our days. (Back home, even a plumbing disaster became part of my wild journey...) To learn how you can travel through life in “Adventure Mode,” seeing every twist and turn as part of your own sacred path, join me for the full episode!

Did you know that until you are truly compassionate to yourself, you can’t be compassionate to any other person?

I’d love for you to join me.

Listen Again: What Lies Beyond Anxiety?
In this special “Listen Again” episode of The Gathering Room, I dive into the big themes of my most recent book, Beyond Anxiety: Curiosity, Creativity, and Finding Your Life's Purpose, and share how my ongoing research, writing, and real-life experience have given me deeper insights than ever before.
