Real conversations about resilience, self-awareness and navigating life's unexpected challenges. Stories that help you feel less alone.
Why Stranded Stories?
Because some journeys begin with getting lost.
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.
Each episode explores…
- Overcoming adversity
- Building self-awareness
- Navigating career transitions
- Health & well-being challenges
- Cultural identity & belonging
- Mindset shifts & personal growth
- Finding purpose through uncertainty
Host, Stranded Stories
Berenice Bory left France at 16 and never really stopped moving. New Zealand, London, Sydney - and then, unexpectedly, Vancouver.
In March 2020, a routine trip to Canada turned into something no one saw coming. Travel ban. Personal loss. No support system within reach. The kind of moment that either breaks you or builds you.
It built her.
She came back different. More grounded. More deliberate. With a quiet certainty that resilience isn't something you have - it's something you build, one hard moment at a time.
By day, she leads client success teams across Australia and India for Bazaarvoice, one of the world's leading UGC platforms. But Stranded Stories is where she goes looking for the moments that quietly reshape us - and the people who chose to grow through them.
“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.”
