In this episode, I’m talking about change, and why it can feel so much harder than we expect, even when we genuinely want it.

Whether you’re trying to shift something in yourself, your team, or a whole organisation, there’s usually an existing system quietly trying to pull everything back to how it was.

I revisit Kurt Lewin’s three-step change model, unfreeze, change, refreeze, but focus on the part that often gets overlooked: community. Because change is rarely just about process.

It’s about people, support, shared experience, and not feeling like you’re dragging the whole thing uphill on your own.
