What is The Permission Slip?

Adults seeking permission to change their lives get the encouragement they never received. Host Jamie Chen interviews people at crossroads—the 45-year-old becoming a marine biologist, the executive learning to paint, the parent starting a band. Through honest conversations about fear, family expectations, and finding courage, this show becomes the permission slip listeners need to pursue their own postponed dreams.
