Now, It Gets Interesting! with Julia CurranAuthor: Julia Curran
I have the most interesting friends.Ive lived in six countries, traveled to more than fifty, and been immersed in a wide range of cultures. Along the way, I built friendships and had conversations across professions, belief systems, and borders. Through years of moving, listening, adapting, and paying attention, Ive learned this: some of the most meaningful insights dont come from grand moments, but from ordinary, honest conversations.Because of where Ive lived and the people Ive met, Ive had the privilege of seeing how life looks from many angles. Here, I get to share those conversations with you.Again and again, Ive been drawn to the same moment in peoples livesthe point when the script they thought they were following quietly changes. Goals shift. Reinvention begins. A pivot becomes unavoidable. A chapter they didn't see arrives.And thenit gets interesting.This podcast is about those moments.In each episode, I sit down with people from all walks of lifeexperts and outsiders, builders and re-thinkersto talk about reinvention, history, health span, beauty, work, identity, loss, ambition, and the lessons that shape us as we try to live better.Some conversations are timely. Others are timeless. Either way, this isnt about having all the answers. Its about what you do when life surprises youwhen it asks more of you than you expected.Join me for conversations youll lean into.

From Reporter to Founder: Wendy Parker’s Journalism Pivots
Episode 2
Wednesday, 11 March, 2026
In this episode, we talk with Wendy Parker, seasoned journalist and editor of East Cobb News, about a career that spans decades of reporting—and a bold pivot that led her to build one of the most important local news outlets in the community. After years working in traditional journalism roles, Wendy took a leap and launched her own independent online publication dedicated to covering the people, issues, and stories shaping a growing and vibrant East Cobb.In our conversation, Wendy reflects on the dramatic changes that have reshaped journalism and why the future of the industry may actually be more local, not less. She also discusses the ethical responsibilities that come with being a journalist—standards that are increasingly blurred in today’s era of instant, cellphone-driven “do-it-yourself” reporting. Wendy shares how she navigated the turning points in her career and why, at a stage in life when many people consider slowing down, she chose instead to start something new. Her philosophy was simple: “If not now, then when?” The result has been a thriving local publication—and a powerful reminder that reinvention is possible at any stage of life.Thanks for listening!
