Welcome back to Recalculating, the podcast from Skewed North, where the path is rarely straight, the lessons are often sideways, and inspiration never shows up how you expect.
In this episode, we’re going all the way to Tanzania — where scenic artist and soul navigator Jolene Dames is hired to photo-document a team of neurosurgeons… but ends up gaining a whole new perspective on privilege, perception, and personal power.
From a stranger with a machine gun on a dirt runway (don’t worry, there's a good reason) to a chalk-drawing 8-year-old who stole her heart, Jolene shares the life-altering stories, near-breakdowns, and unexpected awe that changed how she walks through the world—and why “that story doesn’t have to happen” just might become your new mantra, too.
🛬 Elephants on the runway.
🧠 A chalk line of connection.
🦁 Lions just off-screen.
And an unshakable truth: you get to author your story.
