Silver Linings: A Conversation with Janice Landry

Gratitude, paying it forward, mentors, Impostor’s Syndrome, even a behind-the-scenes look at our relationships with some Maritime broadcasting legends…there’s a lot of territory covered in this conversation between two old friends. Decades before Janice Landry was an award winning author of five books, she was a young rookie reporter in the ATV newsroom with Nancy, and this chat will make you feel like you’re sitting in the Soul Booth with them.

Janice published her first book in 2013, about the riveting 1978 rescue of a baby from a house fire. It was her father, Baz Landry, who carried that infant out of the flames (for which he won a National Medal of Bravery) and it was his career as a firefighter that inspired Janice’s new path as a writer and advocate for First Responders. Her latest book, Silver Linings is all about Gratitude and its power to create resilience in life-changing ways. As you’ll hear, it is dedicated to Janice’s mother, and our mutual friend Audrey Parker, who both died while Janice was writing the book. This was recorded just before the world changed in March, so Janice’s quote at the beginning of this episode seems eerily prophetic ! Enjoy :)
