Listener’s FavoUrite Episodes

I’ve spent my career asking the right questions and asking hard questions—on air, on stage, and in life. As a former global TV journalist, I’ve interviewed world leaders, navigated high-stakes conversations, and built a career on clarity, curiosity, and connection. My path has been anything but linear, shaped by bold choices, cultural shifts, and the pursuit of meaningful dialogue. Now, through Choices & Chances, I bring those lessons to the table, helping others navigate pivotal decisions, own their voice, and step into their influence.

This podcast is about more than just stories—it’s about insight, action, and the power of choice. Whether you’re facing a career pivot, a personal transformation, or simply seeking deeper conversations, this space is for those who refuse to stay stuck. Here, we challenge perspectives, embrace bold moves, and turn thoughtful dialogue into real impact.

Hey there! I’m Tesa, the brain and the voice behind Choices & Chances.
