In this deeply personal episode of Green Tea Party Radio, host Katie Zakrzewski takes listeners on a journey through the mountains—both literal and metaphorical. She shares a powerful story from her college years about a near-disastrous hike in the Pyrenees that transformed her perspective on nature, faith, and the power of perseverance. Through humor, struggle, and unexpected moments of grace (including an encounter with a very unexpected guide—a donkey), Katie reflects on how our connection to the natural world can deepen our purpose and drive for conservation.
