Chipper Roth was thirteen years old, sitting on a cushion in San Miguel de Allende, watching a slideshow of orchid collecting in Nepal. She had never heard of Nepal.

Then she saw the Himalayas. The monastery. A Yeti skull. Monks chanting.

Something inside her cracked open.

"This is where I'm going. This is where I'm supposed to spend my life."

It took her thirteen years to get there. When she finally stood before Ama Dablam—the most glorious peak she'd ever seen—she fell to her knees and put her head on the ground. The certainty never left her.

What happens when you say yes to two men you just met—and don't know at all? In this episode, musician and world traveler Hiliry Harvey joins host Christina Johnson to share a Pan de Dios moment from her twenties. Waiting six months for a conservatory audition in Rome, living on $100 a month with a midnight curfew, Hiliry found herself at a tiny trattoria called Da Enzo. Two strangers—one Italian, one German—invited her to a private club where guitars came off the walls. Then, with the clock nearing curfew, one of them said: Come live in my house. Hiliry said yes. No resume. No references. Just a feeling. A story of trust, joy, and the honey‑sweet magic that happens when we listen to something deeper than fear.

What does it take to trust love again—not once, but twice? In the premiere episode of Pan de Dios, host Christina Johnson sits down with author Diana Von Welanetz Wentworth to explore the moments of unexpected grace that have shaped her life. Diana shares the story of meeting her first husband in a Hong Kong hotel lobby, a chance encounter that felt like fate. After being widowed twice, she reflects on how a deep inner knowing has guided her toward great love again and again. A conversation about soul connections, trusting the unseen, and the magic that arrives when we least expect it.
