Stained glass artist Margaret Malishchak proves new chapters don’t have to mean leaving other passions behind for good. After loving creating stained glass as a young adult, Margaret then shifted her focus to her growing family and other aspects of life, her art supplies packed away in her Madison, NJ basement. But this was a ‘see you later’ not a ‘goodbye’-- a great reminder to all of us that we can step away from one passion to focus on another, and it does not have to mean we are leaving it forever. Fast forward more than 25 years, Margaret’s daughter asked about the boxes in th…

Thomas set off backpacking at 18 years old, as a way of avoiding the real responsibilities of life. This was great for a while, but after 7 years of travelling, he was broke, unqualified, and without direction, leading to depression. At 25, he checked into therapy, got into the gym, joined university as a "mature student", and then put myself through financial qualifications in order to become a Private Wealth Manager. Having been through this myself, I want to help others going through the same period, and share his advice on fitness, finance, and purpose.Instagram: TomgmurrTiktok: TomgmurrYo…
