CBC Ottawa News host Lucy Van Oldenharnveld unpacks lessons about her craft from the “saying yes and figuring out later” moments in her life.

Though some of these moments worked out, while some did not, she tells stories of her fearless life decisions that lead her to Yukon, Thailand, China, and back to Ottawa.
