The Chapter Be podcast is for everyday people – like you – who have made the decision to make a change in their lives to create their own path of BEing in this world.
In an effort to avoid the oversimplified narratives published in popular media, our conversations explore the truths in making a change – which include both the struggles and the successes. If you’ve considered making a change in your life or need inspiration to move out of feeling stuck, the Chapter Be podcast provides real stories of how people have approached this challenge in their own lives.
