Girl Tries Life Podcast

In this episode I'm joined by Joelle Tomlinson, co-anchor of CTV Morning Live here in Calgary.

Joelle shares how this experience has shaped her outlook on life and the power of sharing your story with others.  Full show notes can be found at http://girltrieslife.com/podcast-142
