Have you ever felt lost, overwhelmed by life’s challenges, or simply in need of a change? Kirsten’s story might be just what you need to hear. In a recent episode of our podcast, Kirsten shares her deeply personal and transformative journey along the Camino de Santiago, a pilgrimage that spans hundreds of miles across Spain and France. Kirsten’s story begins with a period of intense anxiety and depression, compounded by the stress of turning 40 and family dynamics. Her life was at a breaking point, and she found herself saying things she couldn’t control, leading to a fallout with her sister. This dark period left her feeling ashamed and desperate for answers. But then, something extraordinary happened. Kirsten received multiple signs from the universe, urging her to walk the Camino de Santiago. Despite not being religious or inclined towards such journeys, she felt a compelling force guiding her. She quit her job, made arrangements for her home, and embarked on this arduous pilgrimage. Her journey was anything but easy. From the first day, Kirsten faced physical and emotional challenges, including harsh weather and the solitude of walking alone. Yet, she also experienced moments of profound beauty and kindness from strangers. These encounters helped her realize that she was exactly where she needed to be, doing what she was meant to do. Kirsten also delves into the concept of “compassionate possession,” where she felt an external force guiding her actions and words in crucial moments. These experiences, though initially alarming, led to life-changing connections and realizations. Her story is a testament to the power of resilience, the importance of listening to one’s inner voice, and the transformative potential of spiritual journeys.
