Summary
In this episode, Kat sits down with Emily Gill (founder at Levra and recognised as one of the Top 50 Women in Tech ) for a real conversation about modern busyness, perfectionism, and the habits that protect human performance. They unpack why we’ve become human doings , how tiny “basic” habits (sleep, breathing, movement) create outsized impact, and why human skills like empathy, connection and communication are becoming even more valuable in the age of AI.

Why we don’t do the basics… even when we know they work How Kat creates change in teams: pattern disruption + questions that help people see it for themselves The power of shared experience: real behaviour change happens when people realise they’re not alone Emily’s insight: human connection is what “fills up our soul” — and why loneliness is a real performance problem Why discomfort is part of growth (and why in-person connection is coming back) Phones, attention, and the impact on family connection (the restaurant moment that hit hard) Emily on AI: automation will rise - so human skills (empathy, conflict management, reading the room, asking better questions) become the differentiator A brilliant reframe: kids wear an Elsa outfit with full confidence… what would change if adults did life with that energy?
