The Other Side
"Nadine sure likes to talk" - every report card she brought home
Nadine has been talking for 47 years, and en route to pickleball can be overheard asking "So, what's your deepest wound?" Not known for her subtleties, she's a born story-collector and learned storyteller who decided to mic-up and take you along for the ride.
Listen in as Nadine chats with folks about their lives, zeroing in on those messy parts as we get ourselves from one point to another. Covering things like friendships, careers, deaths, and divorces. There's nothing she won't ask in hopes that other people's experiences can help you through your own.
We're not experts; we're just humans having a human experience we think you can learn from. Or relate to. Or laugh at. Or cry over.
So hit download, dive in, and hear how folks found themselves on THE OTHER SIDE.
