From the Pyrenees to Purpose: A Young Conservative’s Journey Through Nature
In this deeply personal episode of Green Tea Party Radio, host Katie Zakrzewski takes listeners on a journey through the mountains—both literal and metaphorical. She shares a powerful story from her college years about a near-disastrous hike in the Pyrenees that transformed her perspective on nature, faith, and the power of perseverance. Through humor, struggle, and unexpected moments of grace (including an encounter with a very unexpected guide—a donkey), Katie reflects on how our connection to the natural world can deepen our purpose and drive for conservation.
Key Topics Discussed:
✅ How a study abroad trip to Spain led to an unexpected environmental awakening
✅ The power of nature in shaping faith and personal growth
✅ Finding humor and resilience in challenging situations
✅ The importance of community and friendship in navigating hardship
✅ Lessons from nature that inspire conservative approaches to conservation
Action Steps:
🔹 Reflect on a personal experience where nature changed your perspective
🔹 Contact your member of Congress and share why you care about conservation
🔹 Share your environmental story with Green Tea Party Radio on social media or email
🔹 Find ways to connect with nature in your daily life, whether through hiking, gardening, or conservation efforts
