THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE HELM TO MAKE THINGS HAPPEN!
Are you one of the millions of people in the world who do not like reading, but love listening? Someone who seeks information, but doesn’t enjoy getting it from a book? Maybe you are one of the growing numbers of people who listen to books anywhere at any time…while driving, cooking, walking, or exercising. One in five of us are now listening to recordings of books.
Traumatic Brain Injury - with Brian Tumour Survivor, Lynn McLaughlin
After the diagnosis of a brain tumour in 2013 and the subsequent surgery and recovery, she was able to gradually move back into her complex role as a Superintendent of Education. It meant finding different ways of communicating, working and coping as she grew to know and understand her new self. Lynn is how driven to help us become self-advocates, learning to make conscious decisions and altering potentially negative outcomes, putting ourselves in the driver’s seat. Lynn is now the host of her inspirational podcast, She is an award-winning author of her first book, "Steering Through It"
Meet our first three exceptional guests!
It’s time to celebrate the truly remarkable people we have surrounding us. “Taking the Helm” is all about just that. In each podcast episode, we’ll get to know people who have taken risks, who’ve thrown themselves out there - to create something they’ve dreamed of. Some have given up careers to pursue their passion. Others have ventured into becoming entrepreneurs. Each offers us inspiration through their own experiences and learning. It’s an honour to get to share these conversations and unique leaders with you. My guess is you will want to listen to each and every episode. There’s so much for us to learn and experience ourselves.
"The Ms. Camay Show" Interview
Sitting down with host Ms. Camay to share how I moved into the role of advocate after my life took an extreme detour was fun! My memoir, "Steering Through It" shares powerful experiences after a life-threatening diagnosis. It includes the voices and perspective of many of my family members. I ask questions, intentionally, so readers reflect on our own lives. Ms. Camay is kind, dedicated and works tirelessly to empower women. We connected on many different topics. Enjoy the full interview. I hope you find connections!
