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.
