Hi, yes, it's Monday and usually you don't hear from me at the beginning of the week,

but as you gathered from the title and description of what you're listening to,

this is not a typical episode of this podcast, but it's something that I think you will like.

If you're feeling overwhelmed by

changes in your life and perhaps you're unsure how to navigate them, you are not alone.

I'm right there with you. And so today, I'm sharing a special preview of a podcast I've been

loving and I think could help.

From our friends at Pushkin Industries, it's called A Slight Change of Plans.

And like this show, let it out, it's all about the human experience.

A slight change of plans blends science with storytelling to explore who we are and who we become in the face of a big

change. Dr. Maya Shunker is a cognitive scientist who is an expert on human behavior, and she's

here to help us manage the changes we all experience in our lives. On the show, you'll hear

intimate conversations with celebrity guests like Tiffany

Haddish and Casey Musgraves, as well as journalist Una Lee, who has been held captive in North Korea

for 140 days, and Dr. Richard Harris, who was rescued by a boy's soccer team, trapped deep

in a cave in Thailand.

Maya is also joined by change experts, including leading grief therapist Julia Samuel,

psychologist Adam Grant, and author Michael Paulin, whose scientific insights will help us make better decisions and live happier, more fulfilling lives.

In this preview, you'll hear Maya in conversation with Christine Ha,

the first blind contestant and winner of the reality TV show Master Chef.

Christine talks about losing her vision and how she had to relearn how to navigate many

aspects of her life, including her biggest passion, which is cooking.
