1
00:00:14,916 --> 00:00:23,876
Speaker 1: Pushkin has stel Changers Maya here. I'm thrilled to share

2
00:00:23,916 --> 00:00:26,556
Speaker 1: We've got new episodes of A Slight Change of Plans

3
00:00:26,556 --> 00:00:30,716
Speaker 1: for you. You'll hear from guests who've navigated extraordinary changes

4
00:00:30,716 --> 00:00:35,316
Speaker 1: in their lives, like John Elder Robeson, who undergoes experimental

5
00:00:35,356 --> 00:00:39,596
Speaker 1: brain stimulation to increase his emotional sensitivity. The thing I

6
00:00:39,836 --> 00:00:44,076
Speaker 1: had always wanted was to feel like I was a

7
00:00:44,116 --> 00:00:47,876
Speaker 1: normal person. And Chaparral Wells a mom who takes on

8
00:00:47,916 --> 00:00:51,036
Speaker 1: the role a private investigator to find out the truth

9
00:00:51,156 --> 00:00:54,836
Speaker 1: about her son's death. It wasn't by choice, I had

10
00:00:54,876 --> 00:00:58,436
Speaker 1: no other option. We'll hear from riz Ahmed, an Oscar

11
00:00:58,556 --> 00:01:01,756
Speaker 1: nominated actor, on how finally playing a role based on

12
00:01:01,836 --> 00:01:05,716
Speaker 1: his own life changed his understanding of himself. Up until

13
00:01:05,716 --> 00:01:08,476
Speaker 1: his point as an actor, I'd become adept to molding

14
00:01:08,516 --> 00:01:12,476
Speaker 1: mosques and wearing them for other people, and I realized

15
00:01:12,556 --> 00:01:14,916
Speaker 1: the next stage of growth is about taking them off.

16
00:01:15,476 --> 00:01:18,916
Speaker 1: An Amanda Knox, she was wrongfully accused of murder and

17
00:01:19,036 --> 00:01:22,356
Speaker 1: is now trying to reclaim her identity. I continued to

18
00:01:22,356 --> 00:01:25,396
Speaker 1: be defined not by the things that I've done, but

19
00:01:25,556 --> 00:01:28,996
Speaker 1: instead by the one thing that I didn't do. We'll

20
00:01:29,076 --> 00:01:31,556
Speaker 1: hear from experts about how the science of change can

21
00:01:31,596 --> 00:01:35,316
Speaker 1: help us make better decisions and live happier, more fulfilling lives.

22
00:01:36,076 --> 00:01:38,316
Speaker 1: And I'll also turn the mic around and share with

23
00:01:38,356 --> 00:01:41,396
Speaker 1: you something that recently happened in my personal life. When

24
00:01:41,436 --> 00:01:44,876
Speaker 1: I was thrown my own slight change of Plans, my

25
00:01:44,956 --> 00:01:47,476
Speaker 1: heart sank. I was like, you have got to be

26
00:01:47,556 --> 00:01:52,316
Speaker 1: kidding me, How is this happening again? It it didn't

27
00:01:52,356 --> 00:02:02,676
Speaker 1: make any sense. I'm Maya Shunker, and this is a

28
00:02:02,676 --> 00:02:05,516
Speaker 1: Slight Change of Plans, a show about who we are

29
00:02:05,716 --> 00:02:19,756
Speaker 1: and who we become in the face of the big change.
