Have you ever wondered how journalism and PR can coexist in harmony, or how the lessons from Star Wars might apply to real-life professions?

Join us on Speak for Change as I chat with my dear friend Ashley Drew Owen, who takes us through her fascinating journey from the newsroom to the world of public relations. Ashley shares the ethical tightrope she walks to maintain her journalistic integrity while thriving in PR, and we have a bit of fun drawing parallels between these two fields and the light and dark sides of the Force.

The episode isn't just about professional transitions; it's also a heartfelt exploration of personal storytelling and its immense power. We reflect on the simple, early joys of sharing personal stories with friends and delve into the profound connections such sharing fosters.

From overcoming fears of imperfection to the therapeutic benefits of writing, we explore numerous facets of creativity and confidence.

Our conversation touches on the creative process in both personal and professional realms, celebrating achievements, nurturing curiosity, and embracing actions that lead to progress. We also dive into the enriching world of performing arts and the unique ways they enhance empathy and human understanding.

Wrapping up with a discussion about the inspiring connections between food, community, and kindness, this episode is packed with insights, stories, and themes that resonate deeply with the human experience.
