Everyone is Extraordinary: Recent Episodes
Ruby Gray
The weekly podcast where I interview strangers, stars and friends, indulging my curiosity over being human and finding the extraordinary in everyone.
Walking My Way: DAY 8: Logroño to NájeraI was grumpy today for reasons partially disclosed on this podcast episode hehehe... but I got all my friends together in the evening to discuss what we had learnt today before we did some yoga.
Did not discuss the fact that Thomas cooked us an incredible smoked salmon pasta thing which I still dream about...
I do not understand how heavy snorers have the balls to stay in big dorm rooms like I would be so embarrassed ?? Enjoy audio evidence of what we've been put through every night lols... thankfully I'm half deaf and cannot hear a thing with earplugs in...
I'm Ruby, I'm 22 and I live in London. I graduated from Cambridge last year and have been working in TV production since. I'm taking time off work to go on the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage across France and Spain (I’m doing the full Camino Frances). I will be walking 800 km as a female solo traveller, completely untrained (in fact with a hip injury). This journey has been a dream of mine since I was 15, when I read The Pilgrimage by Paulo Coelho. I wouldn’t say I’m religious, but I do have some sort of relationship with spirituality, which I am hoping to explore on this trip. Stay tuned for an episode for every day of my journey, which I will be walking for over a month. From the practical, emotional, historical and spiritual, to the deep connections (and blisters) I’m expecting to make, you will hear it all.

Walking My Way: DAYS 6 & 7: Estella to Los Arcos to LogroñoDay 6 in Los Arcos is one I will remember for a long time. It was the first time on the trip I felt an immense sense of peace like I hadn't felt in ages.There is nothing like playing the 34 questions to fall in love with new friends. Very grateful.I'm Ruby, I'm 22 and I live in London. I graduated from Cambridge last year and have been working in TV production since.

This was a huge unexpected bump along the journey. Long live the TEVAS (pls sponsor me). Pamplona was gorgeous, getting my bum electrocuted whilst everyone else was drinking was not my personal highlight of these two days...

Hello everyone!! Day 2 walking plog let’s gooo! Today I interview the wonderful Olivier, who runs the best bar/shop/cafe/music heartbeat in Larrasoaña. I am grateful for how open he was to sharing his personal story of the Camino (tw: addiction, depression, suicide). I found it truly inspiring to hear of the lessons he had learnt. I agree with him, the Camino is as good as the best self help books out there!I'm Ruby, I'm 22 and I live in London. I graduated from Cambridge last year and have been working in TV production since.

Hello!Here is a guide from someone who has never been on a pilgrimage before but knows a thing or two about ultralight packing. Through the years I have refined and refined again my ultralight packing to the bare essentials of what I need, and I'm very excited to have managed to get this down to 2.2 kg. I will be walking 25 km every day on average so every last gram will make a difference!My biggest tips: - Be a psychopath and weigh everything, you will be surprised at what comes out light and heavy- Anything you think 'I could always buy that in a shop once I'm there if push came to shove,' don't pack it, you will rarely if ever regret this. Do not pack that spare pair of underpants- Multifunctional things / thinking of ways to make something smaller have the same function = gold dustTimestamps:00:52 Bag02:14 Shoes04:40 Weigh Things!05:18 Coats / Outerwear06:15 Hiking Clothes10:00 Towel11:00 Toiletries12:35 Glasses Case / Sleeping Essentials13:28 First Aid / Medicine Cabinet / Microphones14:40 Tech / Chargers16:33 My Bag Weighs 2.2 kg !!I'm Ruby, I'm 22 and I live in London.

Welcome back! Today I interview bestie @taliapamensky, who I went to sixth form and uni with. Tals has always deeply inspired me to tap into and work on my relationship with spirituality, with huge benefits to my mental health and overall being. We discuss Talia's own journey with spirituality through school, uni and beyond, delving into the big questions, her dreams to be a healer and tips for those getting started with it all. It will be impossible not to leave this episode filled with energy and inspiration to look within and self-reflect <3
We also discuss sobriety in relation to being present, a very interesting topic in my opinion! Overall it was such a blast to record with Tals, a natural speaker and healer as well as amazing friend.
Contact me with questions for Talia for our next episode together! These can be spirituality-related or otherwise!
Talia recommended checking out Finding Focus: https://www.findingfocus.app
