Passion Stories with Free To Flourish
Welcome to the Passion Stories Podcast, a conversational series that features people who have made career transitions into work they feel fulfilled with, or started their own passion business.
We talk about when they decided to make the change, why they do the work they do, what helped them overcome obstacles with the transition, and any tips that they would give to others sitting on the idea of making these big changes.
People from the environmental, social change, health and wellness, and creative industries come on to share their story in hopes to inspire others to go after their own professional dreams.

Brand Coach: Gabrielle Gweneth
The first episode of Season 2 of the Passion Stories Podcast!
In this episode I talk with Writer and Brand Coach, Gabrielle Gweneth about the importance of stories. Gabrielle is originally from The Bahamas and currently lives in Scotland. For her business, @gabriellegweneth helps business owners uncover and share their core stories in their content to attract their ideal clients.
I wanted to start off the first podcast episode of the New Year talking about stories and how they can help us. One of the reasons I started this podcast is because I am fascinated with other peoples' life journeys. I find inspiration for my own life by listening to what other people have done. Gabrielle and I talk about how listening to others stories can help us create more empathy for others.
Gabrielle also talks about how she loves helping people who think they might not have a unique or interesting story and pull that out for them. She believes we all have unique stories and sometimes we just need help with owning and sharing them.
She also talks about her journey as an entrepreneur and how she hasn't always had the confidence to go after her goals before she tries them. Instead Gabrielle has grown accustomed to taking the leap and then discovering that her confidence came after she took action. For those of you who are nervous to make transitions in your own life: the confidence will follow after you take an action step.
