What happens when a self-confessed princess, fresh out the other side of cancer treatment, decides to walk 800km across Spain with a backpack, a pair of hiking boots, and no idea what’s ahead?
Colleen Sims wasn’t exactly what you’d call “outdoorsy.” Afraid of dogs, cows, and basically anything remotely icky, she was the last person anyone expected to fall in love with long-distance walking. But one spontaneous trip to Spain, a beachside shell moment, and a full-body YES later… she did it anyway. And it changed everything.
In this tender, hilarious, and deeply inspiring episode, we chat about:

• how surviving cancer rewired her priorities—and cracked her wide open to purpose
• the unexpected magic of the Camino de Santiago (and how it brought her back to her childhood self)
• why walking is one of the most profound therapies we already have access to
• the rise of the “walking club revolution” and how her simple local meet-ups turned into global soul treks
• what it really means to live free—and why lipstick still makes the cut, even in a backpack life 💄

Also mentioned:

• The Camino de Santiago
• Via Francigena
• Cheryl Strayed's Wild
• Walking as soul medicine

This one’s for the dreamers, the seekers, the tired souls craving simplicity—and the ones secretly Googling “solo walking pilgrimage” on their lunch break.
