Three Point Turn

This episode, Teri shares how she decided to start her own consulting business and go back to school, basically at the same time. She also talks about how she made the decision to lean into the fear and take it as a good sign, rather than getting over it. For more from Teri, check out her website: www.beproductiveatwork.com

This week, Francis shares his journey towards a life that he loves. Francis made a big change in the past year, physically, socially and creatively, but I think his insights also apply to the smaller changes in our lives. You can find Francis Arevalo and his music with The Lions We Are here. Vancouver locals can find information there on his CD release party in July. You can also hear more about Francis in the short documentary The Lion, which I highly recommend.

This week, Nathan offers insight into trust, recovery, and becoming the authority in your own life. Their journey has not been smooth, so Nathan has helpful words for folks who might be in a desperate place, and those who might want to offer help. I am so grateful to Nathan for sharing their story.

This episode, Nick talks about why he started his podcast, People Doing Things. However, this episode maybe more about how to talk to people and what to do with your existential dread than about podcasting. I recommend you let Nick charm you with his honesty. Sorry about any weird qualities--we had some technical glitches I hope to avoid in the future! If you want to check out my episode of People Doing Things, you can click here.

Episode 5 of Three Point Turn features Kelly Christensen, who hails from our southern neighbour (i.e. the USA) and he is talking about the decision to call Canada home. How do you decide to set your heart on immigrating to another country? Here's how he did it.

Our 4th episode comes courtesy of Madison Trusolino, who was kind enough to sit down with me to talk about her turning point: quitting alcohol and starting to take care of her mental health. Listen to the podcast to hear how she did it and how it changed her life.

Episode 4 introduces us to Sam Borthwick, who has spent his life crossing the Atlantic back and forth. He talks about his decisions to move to London and then back to the West Coast again, along with the urge to roam and the challenges of building a new life each time. It was great to hear from Sam, but my microphone also heard from the rest of his apartment, so I might recommend listening to this one with speakers instead of headphones if you're sensitive to background noise.
