At 67 years old, Diane Gansauer laced up her boots and finished walking 3,100 miles from Mexico to Canada along the Continental Divide. But this wasn’t just a hike—it was a journey of self-discovery, resilience, and redefining what it means to belong.

In this deeply moving Hear Where You Belong episode, host Dea Irby sits down with Diane, a Master Life-Cycle Celebrant and interfaith minister who has honored over 400 lives through storytelling and ceremony. Diane shares how she transitioned from a high-powered conservation career—where she no longer felt she belonged—to guiding families through grief and celebrating life’s milestones with authenticity and heart.

From letting go of emotional burdens to traveling lightly (both on the trail and in life), Diane’s story will inspire you to face fears, embrace your unique path, and discover belonging in nature, community, and yourself. Whether you’re drawn to the wild beauty of the outdoors, the sacred art of ceremony, or the courage to start over at any age—this episode will leave you in awe.
