"Semicolon Spaces" are the turning points in our lives. They’re the pauses that became new paths, the endings that revealed unexpected beginnings. In this podcast, we explore these deeply human moments of transition, redirection, and quiet resilience. Each episode features intimate conversations with people who’ve navigated pivotal shifts: in identity, health, career, relationships, and belief systems. These are the stories of what happened after the pause—where a period might have gone, a semicolon stood instead. Because your story isn’t over; it’s still being written. This is not a platform with platitudes - no key messages, no script, minimal edits - just raw conversations.
