S2 E19: The Pilgrimage Starts Before You Walk

Newsflash: I don’t have to wait for the first mile to start a pilgrimage. In this episode, I sit down with pilgrim veteran Eileen Belongea to talk about what actually happens before the journey begins — the training, the packing, the fears we carry, and the control I’m learning to loosen. As Lent begins and Camino prep ramps up, I’m seeing the overlap: take less, notice more, and trust God with what I can’t control. Because preparation isn’t separate from the journey. It’s where it truly begins.
