The TRU-U podcast
The TRU-U Podcast is a show where listeners of all types and backgrounds can find life-giving takeaways from all sorts of stories and experiences in the pursuit of discovering and developing their TRU selves. This isn't something that can be done all alone and that's where this community comes into play. In anything involving growth or healing, vulnerability is key. So as you journey with me (host - Jason Petit-Frère) you'll get to see and hear much about my own vulnerabilities and low moments, and you'll need to in order to truly understand the value of both the lessons and the wins born from those situations. Everyone's life works in much the same way! I encourage you to absorb as much as possible and to go on to share your wins with someone else who finds themselves where you used to be.
With a strong "why", awareness born from internal reflection as well as external feedback, and a fitting and relevant path forward, I seek to help everyone- desperate (like myself)- to never stay stuck by helping them to think/speak/live as their TRU self.
