Taking The Plunge - Podcast

Taking The Plunge

Season 1- An inspirational show about people who have taken the "plunge" and changed their life or career in an extraordinary way, often after a life changing event, and how they got to where they are today. Our goal in doing this podcast is to give voice to people's stories, and to provide hope, comfort, and maybe even a little humor to those who are listening. As well as sharing our own story into plunging into something entirely new.
Season 2- A show all about “taking the plunge” into all things dating and relationships over 40! The good, the bad, and the ugly! And the hosts may just open up a bit themselves, and begin to dip their toes into all new territory along the way.
Season 3- Join us this season as we embark on unique wellness adventures and delve into the realms of relationships, self-discovery, and personal growth. Together, we’ll explore different life stages and challenge ourselves to step outside our comfort zones. Each episode features a spotlight on a remarkable small business that gives back to the community, sharing their inspiring stories and the positive impact they create. Tune in for insightful conversations, transformative experiences, and a celebration of those making a difference. Let’s journey together toward wellness and empowerment!
