Acerca de The View From A Broad

Hi welcome to The View From A Broad. I'm Teresa Norton and this podcast dives into my past, revisiting columns I wrote for the South China Morning Post between 1993 and 2000 during my 40 years living in Hong Kong. These often funny, sometimes tender, occasionally provocative musings cover everything from marriage and working motherhood, to national identity and global events. As a weekly columnist I aimed to capture the quirks of human interactions, carve up a few sacred cows and tell it like it is... but did I?  In the 30 years since those columns were written much has changed and... so have I. In each episode I read a column and talk to a guest about  how the piece stands up today - what still rings true and what feels out of sync with today’s world. They then share a true story from their past that's been unearthed by something in the column.  The result is an engaging and honest conversation about the evolution of social norms, culture and humor, re-examining the past through the lens of today’s values.  By looking back with compassion and curiosity, my hope is that The View From A Broad encourages reflection on how our perspectives have changed... or not... and why.

Caught in the Rat Race | Teresa talks to Dean Winter

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2356023/fan_mail/new] Did you have a summer job when you were a teenager? In 1974 Teresa worked as the hostess/receptionist guiding diners to their table at a restaurant that specialized in pies and... was dealing with an infestation! Her guest, Dean Winter has worked in leadership roles at world famous hotels including Hong Kong's iconic Mandarin Oriental Hotel where he and Teresa met, and more recently as Managing Director of award winning Swire Hotels. But Dean didn't start out at 5-star properties. As a young man and aspiring chef, he started out washing pots and pans in London restaurants. Stories from fine dining to a hair raising kitchen experience are swapped, laughter ensues and, during the break, Dean shares his personal connection with, and a football legend's call for support of a charity that supports an incurable condition, referred to as "butterfly skin". #teresanorton  #theviewfromabroadpodcast #hongkong #portugal #humor #journal #truestories #changingworld #selfreflection #socialnorms #growth

Keepin' the Faith in a Big City | Teresa talks to Sulakshana Chemudupati

Teresa and her guest Sulakshana Chemudupati, dispel some myths and share how  interpersonal connections have impacted their experiences living in some of the most exciting and misunderstood locations on the planet. Sulakshana who, after more than a decade in Dubai took a leap of faith to live a hybrid life between India and Portugal, is the founder of Avant-Green, a consultancy that partners with clients to help them achieve their climate and social impact goals. This conversational journey begins with a column Teresa wrote almost 3 decades ago about the kindness of strangers in her adopted home, Hong Kong - what is lost raising a family so far from blood relatives and the gift of friendships forged on "foreign" soil. The matriarchal lineage and how putting into practice today what our grandmothers knew can benefit our bodies and our planet.

Reelin' Down the Hershey Highway | Teresa talks to Charlie Schroeder

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2356023/fan_mail/new] Have fad diets become a thing of the past? How do you get cast as "Mr. Pussy" in the hit 1990's television series "Sex and the City"? Are there things you found funny 3 decades ago that make you cringe today? 30 years ago Teresa and her then-husband tried a fad diet that promised 10lb weight loss in just days and ended up falling off a wagon piled with tinned beetroot,  cans of tuna and soda crackers and into a gallon carton of chocolate covered malted milk balls. Join Teresa and guest, Charlie Schroeder - journalist, author, actor, writing coach and communications trainer for a rolicking trip through New York, Hong Kong and eventually take the turnoff to Hershey, Pennsylvania. During the infomercial break, Charlie shares about a charity that gives both bicycles and young people a new lease on life.  https://thecommonwheel.com [https://thecommonwheel.com] #changingworld #hongkong #humor #podcast #notforprofitorganisation #teresanorton  #theviewfromabroadpodcast #hongkong #portugal #humor #journal #truestories #changingworld #selfreflection #socialnorms #growth
