I was more myself than I ever had been. I recognized myself. But for me, the walk was the tool to make sure that I was outdoors. It was this recognition that, ah, this is where I blossom, where I'm comfortable. It became my creative time. I mean, my's become my best therapist, my best creative partner.

My walk has become a place where I am so comfortable in my own skin and my own body that I am more

me. I often don't really know what I feel. If you say to me, how are you feeling,

Lib, I'll probably answer with a smile on my face. I feel good. And it's kind of a non-answer. It's not, and it's not real.

And that's in part because I'm not sure I know how to articulate to you what I feel. But when I

add motion to my emotions, I understand what I am feeling more deeply.

So I don't know about you, but I feel like sometimes we overlook the simplest things, ways to reconnect with who we are and the life we want to live that have been more or less hiding in plain view our whole lives.

Walking is one of those things, and from my guest today,

Libby Delana, who has now walked every day for 12 years, traversing more than 25,000 miles.

That's the circumference of planet Earth. This simple practice profoundly changed her life,

and it just might change yours, but in ways you

also would never imagine. So as you'll hear, that intentional act of lacing up her shoes and striding

out into the world, it reawakened parts of herself that had gone dormant, her creativity, her sense

of who she really was, her sense of

wonder and profound appreciation for the natural environment around her. And Libby's daily walking

practice became kind of a portal back to her most authentic self. In our conversation,

she shares how this ritual allowed her to honor the essence of who she really is, which had

become obscured by the demands

of a very high-powered creative career. And Libby is the creator and co-host of This Morning

Walk with Alex L.A., author of the book Do Walk, Navigate Earth, Mind, and Body step-by-step,

and a leading voice on the emotionally transformative power of walking.
