The Metanoia Effect
by Metanoia Effect
The Metanoia Effect is a live conversation series hosted by Portia Booker, Robert B. Foster, and Dawn Airhart Witte. Metanoia means a profound change of heart, mind, perspective, and way of being. Through three unique perspectives, we explore the challenges, transitions, and turning points that shape our lives. Together, we have honest conversations about resilience, healing, grief, personal growth, purpose, relationships, self-discovery, and overcoming adversity. We also invite listeners to submit real-life questions and challenges for future episodes. Our mission is simple: to create a space where people feel seen, heard, supported, and reminded that they are not alone. Because sometimes one conversation can change everything. Three Perspectives. One Journey. Becoming Who You're Meant to Be.
