On this week's episode of Currently, Christal and Beth Milligan (Traverse City Ticker) break down the latest updates from around Traverse City — including if State Street will stay two-way - and other key city developments. They discuss proposed data centers and what they could mean for the region's future, plus the inspiring comeback of a new restaurant rising from the ashes of a food truck fire.

On this episode of Currently: The Conversation, Christal sits down with strategic advisor and executive coach Shea Petaja to talk about clarity, reinvention, and rebuilding trust in yourself after everything unravels.

The Conversation is brought to you by TVC Cherry Capital Airport — Your Northern Michigan Connection.

Shea shares how a season of personal and professional collapse — followed by an unexpected moment in a comedy club — shifted her perspective on pain, leadership, and identity. Together, they unpack why high-achievers cling to what isn't working, how to tell the difference between intuition and anxiety, and what people really mean when they say, "I need clarity."

If you're successful on paper but feeling stuck internally, this conversation is for you.
