What does it take to change your mind about something? At a time when people seem more entrenched in their beliefs than ever before, we're highlighting stories of flip-flops, U-turns, and changes of heart. 


Feeling unhappy in her body, disappointed in her career, and battling depression, Daria Kropop booked a one-way ticket from London, England to Toronto and vowed to completely transform her life. And she's given herself 365 days to do it. We check in on her on day 250 to see how it’s going.


Jordan Man has been a Toronto Maple Leafs superfan since childhood, spending every Saturday night watching Hockey Night In Canada with his family. But every year the team would break his heart in the playoffs. After his partner Emery Mather called him out for taking the Leafs' losses too personally, he decided it was time to break up with them for good.
