About I Have My Reasons Podcast

I Have My Reasons is a podcast highlighting stories of human innovation, resiliency, and resourcefulness hosted by mom, clinical counsellor, and singer-songwriter, Deandra Dey.

As a counsellor, Deandra has the privilege of hearing and being inspired by human stories of passion, hardship and reclamation. She often thinks:

“If everyone had the opportunity to sit across from an individual and experience this type of connection and vulnerability, maybe we would be more accepting of our differences. More so, maybe we would even see the ways in which we are similar!”

In I Have My Reasons, Deandra has conversations with individuals from a variety of professions, cultural backgrounds, demographics, and who have a diversity of values and beliefs. During these conversations, Deandra engages with individuals to talk about how they have regained footing after personal challenges. Deandra yearns to know what her guests are passionate about, and what they think we are challenged with as a community, locally, regionally or globally.
