Episode 220: A Trip of a Lifetime

Getting to Good Enough

We're back! After an absence of six weeks, Janine and Shannon are happy to be back at our microphones! This week we're discussing Shannon's trip of a lifetime, her 217-mile walk along the Camino de Santiago. In the episode we learn all about her amazing trip, including how perfectionism sometimes reared its head.

Discussion topics include:

• Shannon's daily routine while she was walking the Camino

• The details of Shannon's solo trip (she walked 217 miles in 18 days!)

• How Shannon shared the images and memories of the trip each day

• How perfectionism got in the way of her keeping a sketch journal of the trip

• The after-the-fact sketch journal she's now creating

• How this really was a "trip of a lifetime"

• Finding accommodations the night before vs planning multiple days at once

• How it can feel like more pressure to get it right when you're traveling alone

• Shannon's "finish line" experience at the end of the walk
