What happens when a lifelong caretaker walks 500 miles in search of herself? In this episode, transformational coach Margitt Royce shares the surprising truth she uncovered on the Camino—and how letting go of being “Mom” changed everything.

In this episode, I’m joined by Margitt Royce, a transformational guide, somatic coach, and speaker who helps women reclaim their inner voice, embody their truth, and live with radiant authenticity. With over two decades of experience in somatic work, Margitt specializes in guiding clients through life transitions, deep emotional healing, and nervous system regulation using embodiment practices rooted in the body’s wisdom. As the founder of Root to Rise, she supports women ready to release old identities and step into their next chapter with clarity and courage. Her work is grounded in lived experience—particularly her journeys along the Camino de Santiago, where personal transformation meets spiritual practice.

Throughout this episode, Margitt shares how walking the Camino twice—first with her daughter, then alone—became a catalyst for profound inner change. She opens up about the emotional, physical, and spiritual layers of the pilgrimage, including how it helped her move beyond a lifelong role as caretaker and reconnect with her sense of self. From practical advice on planning and pacing to intimate reflections on surrender, self-trust, and rediscovering joy, Margitt brings honesty and heart to every moment. Her stories offer a vivid look at what it means to walk through transition—literally and metaphorically—and invite listeners to consider their own version of the path. It’s a conversation full of insight, presence, and quiet encouragement for anyone longing to come home to themselves.

Get inspired by Margitt Royce’s powerful journey along the Camino de Santiago, as she shares how walking through challenge, self-discovery, and spiritual renewal can guide you toward greater trust, transformation, and inner freedom.
