This podcast sits alongside the book series ‘The Life Stories of Jennie Lee.’ The author is the show host Kerrie Dorman, who chats with guests exploring experiences to inspire, learn and enjoy. The reality of real life is often harsh, sometimes brutal; however, there is always a bright side, and we have choices, no matter how difficult they may be to make. There are always two guests for a dual perspective.
Reality. Uplifting.
This show welcomes Alex Kinnear Mellor, author of Cancer Works, balancing your career with not dying, published in 2024.
