Episode #68 - Suzanne Roberts "Why did you set an intention for this hike?"

In this episode, Courtney talks with Suzanne Roberts, who was on the Camino Del Santiago during the interview. They talk about what it’s like to walk to the “end of the earth”, how this journey has helped her process her grief for her mother’s death, the joys of lemon drops on trail, and they answer the question: Why did you set an intention for this hike?
