Utila - The Island That Calls You Back
Utila: The Island That Calls You Back is an episode of Journeys of Impact that explores Utila from below the surface, on land, and above it all. Host Lori McDowell returns to the island to discover why Utila leaves a lasting imprint on those who experience it. Through conversations with Kirsty Engel, owner of Utila Lodge, and Junior Williams, the episode reveals the deep connection between place, people, and purpose. Utila emerges as more than a destination—it is an experience that invites reflection, connection, and an undeniable pull to return. Special thanks to Watoua Thao for his assistance with the videos.
