As the seasons begin to shift, it's a reminder that change doesn't always come from trying harder — sometimes it comes from changing conditions.

In this solo walk episode, Susan reflects on how much our wellbeing is shaped not just by what we do, but by the environments we're part of. Drawing on both nature and her experience in organizational wellbeing, she explores a different lens: what if feeling "off" isn't something to fix within ourselves, but a signal about the conditions we're operating in?

This episode invites a simple but powerful question — what are the conditions you're living in, and how are they shaping how you feel?

Jessica DeAngelo joins me for a conversation about what happens when we step outside, move our bodies, and give ourselves space to think differently.

After a pivotal moment with her young daughter, Jessica began a simple experiment: 30 minutes a day in nature, without technology. What followed wasn't a quick fix, but a shift — from scattered attention to clearer thinking, from constant input to something more grounded.

In this episode, we explore how movement and time outdoors support creativity, why stepping away from screens can help us refocus on what actually matters, and how a consistent, accessible practice in nature can change the way we show up in both our work and our lives.

This conversation is for anyone who feels mentally full, stretched thin, or stuck — and is curious what might open up with a little more space, movement, and time outside.

On a morning walk, three blue jay feathers stop Susan in her tracks — a small moment that opens into a deeper reflection on change and possibility.

In this solo episode, she shares the story of imaginal cells — the cells inside a caterpillar that carry the blueprint for a butterfly. During transformation, the caterpillar doesn't simply change form. It dissolves completely before something new begins to organize.

Through this lens, Susan explores how periods of uncertainty in our own lives may not be signs that something is wrong, but part of a natural process of reorganization.

She reflects on what it means to speak what feels true, how connection is created through that honesty, and why paying attention to what's quietly emerging matters — even when it's not fully formed.

If something in your life feels undefined or in transition, this episode offers a way to hold that space with a bit more curiosity.
