   Panama: Beyond the Postcard Part 1 — Our Journey Begins

   Welcome to the beginning of our journey through Panama! In this first episode of Panama: Beyond the Postcard, we arrive in Panama City and experience some of the sights many visitors encounter—the energy of the city, beautiful architecture, Old Town, local shopping, wonderful food, the Amador Causeway, and, of course, the Panama Canal. But this series is about much more than beautiful scenery and tourist destinations. One of my passions has always been traveling—not simply to see new places, but to learn from them. As our journey continues, we'll move beyond the postcard to explore Panama's history, culture, people, African and Caribbean influences, and stories that many of us may never have been taught. This first episode is only the introduction. This is a journey, not a destination—and we're just getting started. Welcome to Panama: Beyond the Postcard. — Passion & Purpose with Pamela

   We Lift As We Climb

   This podcast was created for you. Because if you’ve lived any amount of time in this world, then you already understand that life is not always easy. We all carry stories, struggles, lessons, disappointments, victories, and moments that shape who we become. I created this space so we can have real conversations about purpose, growth, healing, faith, resilience, reinvention, and what it truly means to keep moving forward through every season of life. My hope is that every episode leaves you encouraged, challenged, inspired, and reminded that you are not alone on this journey. We learn from one another. We grow through one another. And most importantly — we lift as we climb. Welcome to Passion and Purpose with Pamela.
