I interview Amy Dallas who works in the video game industry and has done so for many years. We talked about the time we met and how it was a tangent from what her life has been and is now. We also talked about her more usual life as a professional in the video game industry, including going to conferences and having to choose a topic that made her feel vulnerable in front of a room of so many people she did not know personally but with whom she shared a common professional interest.

Getting Uncomfortable With My Friend (Amy Dallas)

I interview Tamara Goldsmith who learned about jewelry and management at different times in her life and eventually turned that into her life's work. She has her own shop that sells different crafts, overseeing employees and keeping up on her own design and craft work. She's changed a bit in her approach to people, first learning how to assess people's intentions in a professional setting and being more extraverted to becoming someone who must balance professional goals with motivations for friendship.

I interview Andrew Fredette who created a job for himself that allowed him to travel where he wanted and still work with others as a career. He started in research for medicine and health, but he realized there was a better way for him to help people, which has been important to him. He helps people get momentum behind their own career dreams involving start ups and help them face doubt. However, he's definitely learned a bit about himself and how to be freely himself while helping people.

In My Friend's Business (Jen Neitzel)

Welcome to Becoming Me Again, the podcast that explores how we become new people through our lives. This podcast comes from a kind of philosophical and spiritual journey of my own and a desire to learn about how other people have changed and grown through their lives. In this series, I learned more about people close to me, family and friends, asking them about what about themselves they may have been surprised by, discussing healthy emotions and exploring both gratitude and resistance.

Close to me

Becoming Me Again is a kind of life story podcast that focuses on oneself, how a person changes through life experience and reflecting on ones self-image. I interview people about their lives and the moments when they realized something was different about themselves. It could be that they became their ideal self or that they suddenly found they had a strong sense of self. It could also be that they realized they were just a different person.
