Lovely story. I loved that she left a career she wasn't passionate about, but where she ended up still isn't where she wants to be. That's a much more interesting and relatable story - I hope she finds her true joy.

Couldn't agree more with the quote cited in the @cbcpodcasts recommendation. This is the heart of podcasting to me. An original and quirky story compellingly told that leads you somewhere you'd never expect. I am thoroughly looking forward to getting into the rest of the series.
