In this soul-stirring episode of Wholey Schmidt, we’re joined by Libby Delana—author, creative force, and co-host of This Morning Walk. Libby has taken a walk every single day for the past 13 years, and her simple yet profound practice is a reminder of the quiet power of reconnecting with nature, self, and the present moment.

We talk about the magic of walking, the transformational effects of consistency, and the surprising beauty of discomfort—yes, including cold plunges! Together, we explore how getting comfortable with the uncomfortable can unlock deeper authenticity, resilience, and joy.

From self-care to aging with grace, from grounding routines to finding your truest self—this episode is a gentle but powerful invitation to slow down, pay attention, and walk your way back home.

Topics We Cover:

The life-changing power of a daily walk

Cold plunging and leaning into discomfort

Authenticity and the art of showing up as you are

Self-care as a practice, not a luxury

The beauty of aging and deepening into self

Why consistency is more sacred than perfection
