In this inspiring episode, host Joan Paul is joined by Sue Skelly founder of Women Who Walk the World and a passionate guide for women seeking personal transformation through travel and adventure.

She shares how walking the Camino led to emotional breakthroughs, deep self-awareness, and the courage to build a business leading others on transformative walking journeys across Europe.
