A single Mom of two amazing girls, Lisa is a working professional, and certified independent health coach. She has always had a heart for service, community and assisting others to win. 10 years ago, she was introduced to an amazing community and health program that not only changed her physically,  but also her energy and motivation.

Janie Chang writes historical fiction, often with a personal connection, drawing from a family history with 36 generations of recorded genealogy. She grew up listening to stories about life in a small Chinese town in the years before the Second World War and tales of ancestors who encountered dragons, ghosts, and immortals.

Her first novel, THREE SOULS, was a finalist for the 2014 BC Book Prizes Ethel Wilson Fiction Prize; her second novel, DRAGON SPRINGS ROAD, was a Globe and Mail national bestseller. Both were nominated for the International Dublin Literary Award. Her third book, THE LIBRARY OF LEGENDS, released in May 2020, was nominated for the Evergreen Award and is a Globe and Mail national bestseller. THE PORCELAIN MOON is available February 21, 2023 and THE PHOENIX CROWN, a novel Janie is co-authoring with Kate Quinn, will be released in Fall 2023.

She is a graduate of The Writer’s Studio at Simon Fraser University. She was the founder and main organizer of Authors for Indies, a 100% volunteer-staffed event that promoted a national day of support by Canadian authors for Canada's independent bookstores; the event ran from 2015 - 2017 and transitioned to Canadian Independent Bookstore Day which is organized by the Canadian Independent Booksellers Association.

Born in Taiwan, Janie has lived in the Philippines, Iran, Thailand, and New Zealand. She now lives with her husband on the beautiful Sunshine Coast of British Columbia, Canada.

Tune in to the amazingly talented Lisa Enos: Co-Writer, Producer, and Co-Star of the now classic film, Ivansxtc. Here she shares the screen with Danny Huston and Peter Weller. 

Roger Ebert called it, “One of the best movies of the year!” 

Ebert and Richard Roeper both gave it “TWO THUMBS UP!” 

Why two thumbs?...Because they didn’t have a third!

Ivansxtc  also made "The Guardian's 1,000 Movies to See Before You Die".

This episode on "Overcoming Childhood Trauma" was previously recorded on November 29th of this year.

However, I decided to hold its release until the right time. Because so many people face their darkest demons this time of year, now is the perfect time to hear Robin's story, journey, wisdom, and breakthroughs!

Thank you, Robin, for being so damn vulnerable and strong.  You are changing the world, my friend!

And thank you, Bamboo Pack! Without you, this podcast is nothing!

What are your "12 Wins" for 2023 that, once you accomplish them, will dramatically change your life?

What are those things you've been meaning to "Start" doing, but just haven't yet?
What are the things that you've really wanted to "Stop" doing?
and
What are the good things that you want to "Continue" to do, but simply do better?

Together we've gone through a great deal these past few years: economic challenges, political upheaval, quarantines, mental and emotional health struggles; just to name a few.

2023 is YOUR year! It's the beginning of a entirely new existence! The greatest chapter, to date, in your book of life!

Seize this opportunity to level-up and become the person of your destiny!

In 10 years, you'll look back and shout, "2023 was the year I made the transformation to become the person I am today!"

Bamboo Pack, I appreciate you all. You inspire me.

Your Host,
Brian
