S2 EP69 | Making the World A Little Brighter with Suzanne Maggio. Suzanne Maggio’s Story of Impact.
I felt like I walked El Camino myself. I couldn't put down Suzanne Maggio's book, Estrellas, Moments of Illumination Along El Camino De Santiago. As she walked, I walked. When she got blisters, I got blisters. When she got the message, "you are the light," I got it too.
Suzanne experienced many life changing moments along the walk that took her from France to Santiago, Spain. Our conversation was fun, illuminating, and rich.
Suzanne’s defining moment happened when she received a paper star. She began to share the light on even the darkest night.
Walking El Camino taught Suzanne that we need to learn to listen to each other. Listen with compassion. If we can learn to listen to each other we can have a more peaceful world. Her stories and experiences will change how you see the world.

Thank you Suzanne for illuminating our world and for the difference and contribution you are making.
