From Utah to Santiago: Mom & Son Full Camino Francés Story, 6 Weeks, 180 Friends, Life Changed

Hello pilgrims! In this episode of The Way to Your Why Podcast, host Efrain Mendoza sits down with Sharon Knight and her son CJ Brown, a mom-and-son duo who just walked the entire Camino Francés, about six weeks from Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port to Santiago de Compostela. Sharon had just retired (January 1st) when CJ introduced her to the Camino. What started as a simple “yes” became one of the most meaningful experiences of their lives, filled with connection, surprise moments, and unforgettable encounters with pilgrims from around the world. CJ also shares how hiking the Appalachian Trail (2,200 miles) shaped his mindset, and why the Camino feels different: more social, more connected, and full of daily “magic.” From sleeping under the stars at San Antón to dancing in a mountain rainstorm on the way to O Cebreiro, this conversation is packed with inspiration for anyone considering their first Camino. ✅ In this episode, you’ll hear about: Why Sharon said YES immediately (and why she calls herself the princess on the Camino) How CJ discovered the Camino after the Appalachian Trail Sleeping under the stars at San Antón and “field of stars” moments The social side of the Camino: 180 people from 35 countries Meeting in Spain after a destination wedding in Italy Advice for future pilgrims: time, health, money, and not waiting Chapters 01:52 Mom & Son Camino Intro 03:07 Why She Said Yes 04:40 Discovering the Camino 07:12 Sleeping Under the Stars 12:36 A Shift in Perspective 15:58 “I Needed That Doubt” 16:41 Rain, Mountains & Joy 28:03 Camino vs Appalachian 32:03 180 Friends, 35 Countries 43:35 Camino Advice & Buen Camino #CaminoDeSantiago #CaminoFrances #BuenCamino #Pilgrimage #CaminoWonders #TheWayToYourW 💬 Question for you: If you could walk the Camino with anyone (family or friend), who would it be, and why? 📌 Follow Camino Wonders for more Camino stories, tips, and pilgrim interviews. 👍 Like • Subscribe • Share with a future pilgrim
