About This Podcast

Welcome to Curveball, the podcast that’s all about life’s “Wait, what?” moments – those twists that come out of nowhere, flip your plans upside down, and leave you wondering what the heck just happened.


Every episode, we dive into stories from people who’ve been thrown some serious curveballs. We’re talking about career 180s, relationship shake-ups, unexpected wake-up calls, and those messy moments that feel like the end of the world – until you realize they were actually the beginning of something better.


Think of Curveball as your reminder that those “What now?” moments don’t have to be breakdowns. They can be breakthroughs. You’ll hear from guests who’ve faced the chaos, come out the other side, and found strength, purpose, and sometimes a brand-new life direction.


So, if you’re going through your own “Didn’t see that coming” phase, or just love a good story of resilience, self-discovery, and transformation, Curveball is here to show you how life’s messiest moments can actually make the best stories – and maybe even the best lives.
