What gives us the courage to follow a path when no one else understands it?

In this episode, you’ll meet Susanne, who left Switzerland for the Guatemalan jungle and chose a way of life most would find unthinkable. She speaks about the strength that comes from listening deeply — to the body, to nature, to the quiet signals of life that guide us forward.

Her story touches on healing, trust, parenting, and simplicity, but also on fear, doubt, and the invisible work of staying true when everything around you suggests otherwise.

This isn’t a tale of certainty. It’s an invitation to notice what nourishes you, what scatters you, and how life changes when we stop trying to control it.

About the Podcast

Colors of Awakening was born in the aftermath of a breaking point. In 2020, a Dark Night of the soul unraveled the life I thought I knew — and with it came a call I could no longer ignore.

A year later, I left everything behind not out of certainty, but out of a fragile hope that something might still meet me on the road. I began a journey through the Americas to live closer to nature and to what feels true. Glen and his dog, Zill, joined in, making us a 4 year long trio on the road so far.

This podcast grows out of that path of transformation: a wandering that is at once geographical and spiritual, filled with encounters, doubts, unexpected teachers, and moments of grace. It is not a tale of certainty but of being reshaped by what we meet, and of learning — slowly, painfully, sometimes beautifully — how to trust life even, or maybe especially, when it refuses to let us stay the same.
