Eloping with the Truth
In a changing world we, Joyce and Anna, question what it means to exist in a rapidly evolving and modern society. Each episode considers a variety of topical issues, perspectives, and the importance of sharing your narrative through interviews with inspirational and insightful people. We aim to uncover the power we all as individuals have to create change and pursue ambitious goals, discarding excuses like our age or current ability. We encourage everyone to step out of their comfort zones in favour of becoming the best versions of themselves.

Are you happy? Among strangers and acquaintances, this may be an easy question to answer. "Sure, right now I am" or "actually today has been tough". But below the surface, we all know its a little more complicated than that. From the struggles of mental health and the differences between long and short term happiness to the individual and societal causes of it, Joyce and I take a deep dive into the topic.
