Episode description

Episode 3: Finding Wild Summary: Following her mother's death and her life's subsequent collapse, 26-year-old Cheryl Strayed attempted what many considered impossible: a solo 1,100-mile hike along the Pacific Crest Trail with no prior backpacking experience. Her 1995 journey through punishing deserts and snow-covered mountains became not just a test of physical endurance but a path to healing what seemed irreparably broken within her. Strayed's transformation from grief-stricken and self-destructive to empowered and whole demonstrates that even the impossible journey back from profound loss becomes possible one step at a time.
