How much does it cost?

Accepted Answer

Free. Registration through Eventbrite is required to reserve your spot. Capacity is limited.

Question 3

If it’s free, do I still need to register?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Registering through Eventbrite is what gets you in the door. Free events tend to fill quickly, so secure your spot early. If your plans change, please release your ticket so someone on the waitlist can take it.

Question 4

What actually happens at the event?

Accepted Answer

You’ll be welcomed into a relaxed atmosphere, with food and beverages available for purchase. Nomsa and Daniel introduce the purpose of the evening. The featured speaker sits down for a casual conversational interview, sharing their real transition story. Then time for reflection, audience Q&A

Question 5

Do I need to be an immigrant to attend?

Accepted Answer

No. The stories will resonate most with first-generation Canadian immigrants, but the themes of starting over, career pivots, and rebuilding after a chapter that didn’t go to plan are universal. Anyone navigating a big life transition, or thinking about one, is welcome.

Question 6

I’m really introverted. Will this be overwhelming for me?

Accepted Answer

Not at all. The evening is designed to feel welcoming whether you are outgoing or quiet. There are opportunities to meet people if you would like to, but no pressure to network or speak. Many attendees come simply to listen, reflect, and be inspired. That is perfectly fine.

Question 7

Is there any religious, spiritual, or political content?

Accepted Answer

No. This event welcomes people from all backgrounds, beliefs, and cultures. Speakers may naturally reference personal values or experiences that shaped their journey, but the focus is on transitions, resilience, and growth. Not any religious, political, or ideological agenda.

Question 8

I’ve been to events like this before and they felt fluffy. Why is this different?

Accepted Answer

This isn’t about motivational slogans or surface level inspiration. The featured speaker will share real experiences: the challenges they faced, the decisions they made, the mistakes, and the practical lessons they took away. You leave with authentic stories, useful insights.
