You don't have to be a hiker to feel the magic from this episode. When Janet Hensley and I sit down to chat, it's not just a conversation; it's a passage into the heart of the Appalachian Trail community. Miss Janet, the trail's own fairy godmother, opens a world with tales of generosity and the transformative power that comes from a love for nature and the hikers she encounters.
Our journey navigates Janet's early beginnings, where hikers passing by her childhood home sparked a connection that would define a lifetime of adventure and altruism.
You'll hear about the ever-evolving culture of the trail—from its humble roots to the vibrant hive of activity it is today. We cover the significance of trail names and how social media shapes the modern hiking experience, ultimately revealing how the journey's challenges lead to profound personal insight.
