Show notes

Rosa started the Sunday walks when Eli turned fourteen and stopped talking to her at dinner. Three years later they’ve walked about a thousand miles together, and Eli agreed to come on the show as long as he could pick the trail.

What we talk about

Why hard conversations go better shoulder to shoulder. How to walk with someone without filling the silence. The one rule they’ve never broken.
