From Sparks to Light - Inspiring Stories for Challenging Times

When Life Gives You Lemons - Leigh Brennan

Season 2 Episode 35

After her marriage broke up, Leigh Brennan found herself alone and without direction. She’d always dreamed of walking the Camino de Santiago but Leigh had never imagined walking alone. Faced with an overwhelming sense of grief for a life that no longer was, Leigh bought herself a plane ticket and walked her way into a new way of being in the world.

Anxious to stay connected to her newly found Camino spirit, Leigh created a virtual home for pilgrims, The Camino Cafe Podcast. The podcast serves as a place where pilgrims can return to the sense of community they felt as they walked.  In addition to the podcast, she also does a vlog show called Good Morning Santiago which features the beautiful destination city of the Camino Routes. Leigh is also a longtime yoga and meditation teacher and hosts post Camino restorative yoga, mindfulness and debriefing circles for English speaking pilgrims arriving in Santiago.

You can find the Camino Cafe podcast on iTunes, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.
