Lydia Smith walked the Camino de Santiago at a pivotal time in her life, and felt called to create a documentary film called Walking the Camino in order to inspire people to follow their own path of discovery and transformation.

In this episode of A Congruent Life, Lydia shares about:

deciding to walk the Camino de Santiago during a crossroads in her life,

her insight that everyone has their own pilgrimage to take, and that the "real Camino" starts at home,

taking a leap outside her comfort zone to direct her first feature-length film,

inspiration from the people that she chose to feature in the documentary,

persistence to stick with the multi-year film project, from filming to production to now promoting and sharing it,

dealing with the illusion that aligned work will be easy,

the importance of self-care,

letting go of judgement, and realizing that she was capable of so much more than she thought.
