In this episode, I’m talking to Paula Schramm, who has just embarked on a months-long journey along the Camino Way.
Paula has been on a long journey to find what is good and true. It took her through a PhD candidacy in science, yoga teacher training and also, through Santiago de Compostela. Along the way she found a many strategies that not only helped her recover from her own mental health issues, but to thrive in a world that is often hostile to personal growth.
At the center of all of these is fundamentally accepting the individual power to take control of one’s own life and to exert influence in the world. As a coach/superhero/guide, working from Stuttgart, she shares these strategies with individuals and companies.
