For love, or money…
Recently, I was faced with one of the most difficult, and heart wrenching decisions I’ve ever had to make. Going into my decision, I was on team love, obviously. I’m a passionate, values driven, momma, who prides myself on decision making based on those values, and what my heart feels. I’ve listened to enough sappy love songs in my life to know that money can’t buy you happiness, however the realist in me tells me that it can certainly help.
In the end, after sleepless nights, soul searching, friend consulting, serious waffling, and family pestering, I reluctantly made my decision… I sold my soul to the devil, and went with money. Now, in reality far more factors were in play than just love and money, but that doesn’t change the fact that my heart feels like it got sold out.
Wouldn’t it be great if there were an easier way to work through these major decisions?
Well, it’s your lucky day! There is!
W Network is currently casting locally for The Audience, a Vancouver filmed and based new television series featuring individuals or families that have a big life decision on their plate or in their near future.
The Audience is a transformative, caring and compassionate television series. Each one-hour episode focuses on an individual or family who is struggling with a life-changing decision and is at a crossroads in their life. The inspiration for the show is the modern trend of crowd sourcing. Every day, millions of users on Twitter and Facebook consult their family, friends & followers for advice. Many of our major decisions are played out online. The Audience brings the concept of social networking to television and explores the question: Can the wisdom of the crowd change a person’s life for the better?
No counselor couch required, for one week, the individual with the impending decision is followed by ‘The Audience;’ 50 ordinary, insightful people from diverse backgrounds. ‘The Audience’ puts their heads together, debates the dilemma, and comes up with the best possible solution… the wisdom of the crowd. At the end of the week, ‘The Audience’ presents its considered, collective, and thoughtful advice to the individual that should help them move forward and make a positive decision regarding their dilemma.
Just what the Dr. ordered?
Do you have a big decision in your future that would benefit from some collective assistance: Join or sell the family business? Relocate or change your career? Get married or leave him at the alter? Then this is the show for you!

This isn’t for you, I can attest, as a reality TV show participant myself, how stepping out of your comfort zone can really help to give you the push you need in life. It’s not as scary as it might seem, I promise!
