Real conversations about resilience, self-awareness and navigating life's unexpected challenges. Stories that help you feel less alone.
Life rarely unfolds exactly as we plan. At some point, many of us experience moments that leave us feeling lost, uncertain, or "stranded."
These moments might come through career changes, personal setbacks, health challenges, or unexpected life transitions. But within those moments are also powerful opportunities for growth.
Stranded Stories is a podcast about resilience, mindset, and the human capacity to adapt. Through conversations with guests from diverse backgrounds, Berenice seeks to uncover the insights, perspectives, and lessons that help us navigate life's unexpected paths.

Berenice Bory left France at 16 and never really stopped moving: New Zealand, London, Sydney, and eventually, unexpectedly, Vancouver for three years. By day she leads client success teams across Australia and India for Bazaarvoice, one of the world's leading UGC platforms, thriving in exactly the kind of high-pressure environment that demands resilience. In March 2020, a routine trip to Canada changed everything. Stranded by a travel ban, navigating a personal loss, thousands of miles from her support system, she faced the kind of uncertainty that changes you. She came back different: more grounded, more deliberate, and more convinced than ever that the stories we rarely tell out loud are the ones that change people most.
“You don't have to be physically stranded to feel lost… life throws challenges at all of us. My goal is to share stories that help listeners feel less alone in their own journeys, exploring paths to hope, healing, and transformation.”
Be the first to hear new episodes, behind-the-scenes reflections, and stories that didn't make it into the final cut.
Have you navigated your own moment of being stranded? We'd love to hear from you — and maybe share your story on the show.
