Life Changing - A new series of the fascinating interview series by Dr Sian Williams, former BBC Breakfast presenter and now a trained psychologist, who asks guests about the life changing (hence the title) moments that have forever changed their life.
It could be a moment, such as an emergency situation or an unexpected deathbed confession, but it can also be those gradual realisations that bubble up over a period of time that change the course and the direction of your life.
One such example features an interview with a young oil trader who became quickly alienated by the ruthlessness of the industry (“when you dangle money in front of people, the way that will change their behaviour is unsettling,” he says), so after spotting some animals at a zoo whilst on a morning run, quit his job to volunteer at one. More than a decade later, he’s still there.
