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.

The Other Side
TOS of a Broken Back
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Meet Tesia, a registered psychotherapist, who landed in a hospital bed with a broken back after the hammock she was relaxing in at a spa suddenly broke and sent her crashing to the ground. In this chat, Tesia recounts her harrowing experience from that day and walks us through the immense challenges of her recovery, including her personal and professional growth, setbacks, and shifting relationships.
With honesty and a sense of humour that helped her through this traumatic experience, we are gifted with a story that is a testament to the power of perseverance and support.
From being told she may never regain the ability to walk, to running a marathon 6 years later, Tesia shares how a serious injury can crack your entire world wide open.
Tesia Bryski is the founder and co-director of Shine Mental Health Collective.
