They believe that stories are powerful tools for learning and finding inspiration. They have both faced their own challenges and want to share their experiences and strategies for getting through them. They are looking forward to the first episode and are open to suggestions for future guests. Hi Donna, how are you doing today? Great. So weíre very excited to be recording and launching our podcast, ìThe Discovery Diaries.î Absolutely. Weíve had quite a lot of fun even coming up with a name, havenít we? We certainly have. And Di, tell us a little bit about why you wanted to do a podcast. Well, if Iím being really honest, itís something Iíve kind of thought about for a long time and then catching up with you again, Donna, has been brilliant because youíve kind of motivated me around this notion of surfacing stories. I think stories are such powerful tools, arenít they, for us to learn from each other. I know that when I hear peopleís stories, it usually really resonates with me. So first of all, when I was thinking about a podcast, it was like, ìItís got to be story-based.î What about for you? Yeah, well, it was interesting because a few months ago, I just woke up in the middle of the night and had this vision that I absolutely had to start a podcast. So that was quite unusual. And then a week later, I went for a walk with you and you said that youíve always wanted to have a podcast. Yeah, I know, and it feels really timely, doesnít it, that weíve kind ofÖ Like it was meant to be. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. So here we are, and we will be interviewing various guests who have been through different life challenges and hearing their stories. Yeah, and I think for both of us, weíve kind of had our fair share of challenges in life as well, and as weíve shared a bit of our story as well, I know for me, when Iíve heard about how youíve really overcome some really pretty major challenges, Donna, recently, I find that incredibly inspiring. And then for me, I think for all of us, weíve got challenges that weíre faced with, and when we share some of the things that weíre going through, but actually also, I guess, those strategies that are helping us get through, because thereís only one way through, and thatís by living it right. Thatís right, and some of our guests that weíve organised already have definitely been through some difficult challenges, but theyíve come out through the other side and be sharing their stories and sharing their insights, and yeah, really looking forward to our first episode, which will be coming soon. Absolutely, and weíre really keen to hear from guests as the series grows about people that they might know as well. So Iím really excited to start this journey with you, Donna, and to getting feedback from our guests. Thank you.
