How a Stranger in an Elevator Saved My First Episode

from Unscripted Turbulence with Raegan Medgie · host Raegan Medgie, Reinvention Storyteller

Would love to hear your thoughts!A year ago, I walked out of my very first recording at Gotham Production Studios in Manhattan completely defeated. I stumbled. I stuttered. I had to start over more times than I want to admit. Telling my own story, the one about leaving TV news, was harder than I ever expected.Then I got on the elevator, and Dana Brewington turned to me and asked, "How'd it go?" That question cracked something open. We became friends that day. She was my Angel in the Elevator and I still call her "Godwink Dana" to this day.Dana was my very first guest on Unscripted Turbulence, and now she's back to kick off Year Two. She was in news too, a former producer for Gayle King at CBS, before she left and built her own podcast, Minds of Renewal, centered on her relationship with God. I call it a God Pod.In this episode, Dana flips the script and interviews me. We talk religion, spirituality, and the power of prayer, including a recent story that's still giving me chills. We check in on how far we've both come in a year.This one is for anyone who's felt a little lost and needs some light.For more on Dana : Minds of Renewal Special "efharisto" (thank you) to my sponsor, Kastra ElionSupport the showNew Episodes Take Off Wednesdays!Follow for life beyond the podcast: Newsletter | Instagram | FacebookWatch the video version: YouTube
