    "Mr. Tatro"

    Today I share a deeply personal episode of Change In Course. This is not a story of despair; it's a testament to resilience, growth, and the unwavering human spirit.

    "Hilary"

    Today's episode is dedicated to Maine State Police Detective Benjamin J. Campbell (1987 - 2019). I spoke with Hilary Campbell and we discuss the loss of her late husband. We discuss grief and everything that comes along with it-- the anger, sadness, numbness, exhaustion and pain. However, we also explore the other side of loss and grief: community support, immense gratitude and love.

    "Dr. Hein"

    ER doctor, marathon runner, mother of five– for Dr. Christine Hein, powering-through and rapid decision making is standard practice in her daily life.
