Episode Transcript
Every now and then, we all reach a moment where life asks us to begin again ... not from scratch, but from truth. Truth we already carry inside us, truth that never left ... just waited for us to listen again.
This is ... A New Leaf.
I'm Carl Tambeau, and this podcast is where words, voices and emotions find new life. A space where I take stories ... some old, some forgotten, some borrowed... and breathe them back to life through sound, music and meaning.
Because I've learned that sometimes ... all a story needs is a second chance.
The Meaning Behind the Name
The idea for A New Leaf came from a simple realization, that most of what we call "starting over" isn't about changing who we are. It's about finally becoming who we were meant to be all along.
For me, turning a new leaf means taking what's already within us ... the lessons, the scars, the beauty, and giving it space to breathe again.
That's why this podcast exists. Because I believe that stories, just like people, deserve a moment of renewal.
It's also why this show is connected to my creative world ... Motion By The Ocean.
That name has always reminded me that we're never still.
Even when life feels quiet, something deep within us is moving ... changing... becoming something new.
What to Expect
In A New Leaf, you'll hear stories that begin as simple ideas ... an old piece of writing, a forgotten lyric, a reflection that once sat on a dusty hard drive... together, we'll give them voice again.
Each episode will sound a little different. Some will be personal ... moments from my own journey as a singer and storyteller.
Others will start from public domain content that I will reshape - reimagine - and reclaim through narration, reflection, and music. Every story will share one heartbeat:
Renewal.
Stories about resilience, creativity, healing and second chances woven together with sound that feels like the ocean itself. This isn't about self-help. It is about "Soul Work". About finding meaning in the quiet spaces, between who we were and who we're becoming.
And soon, you'll hear our first story series "The Attitude Shift - a reimagined exploration of how our mindset can become the tide that lifts us, or the current that pulls us under.
Personal Reflection
Over the years, I've learned that creativity isn't about reinventing yourself. It's about returning ... to the parts of you that still whisper when the world gets too loud.
The stories I'll share here aren't perfect, but they're honest. They carry the fingerprints of experience, of faith, of family, of loss and of the deep, quiet courage it takes to begin again.
If you've ever felt like you're standing at the edge of something new, but not sure how to start, then maybe this space was made for you.
The reason I say this is because turning a new leaf isn't about moving forward - it's about honoring where you've been, and finally giving yourself permission to grow.
Closing Reflection
Thank you for listening to A New Leaf, a Motion By The Ocean production.
If something here spoke to you, share it with someone who might be ready to begin again too.
And remember...
every story, every voice, every moment ... still has another page waiting.
Until next time, I'm Carl Tambeau and this is A New Leaf.
