## Resource

Holly and Rachel are away this week, so we're re-sharing an episode from this time last year on the inconvenience of systems change. Systems thinking isn’t just a concept—it’s how life works. Every action, choice and relationship is part of something bigger. So why do we resist seeing the connections? In this episode, we explore what it really means to understand the world as an interconnected whole. It’s not about learning a framework, it’s about shifting how we see, think and act. This conversation explores what happens when we start noticing the patterns we’re part of—and begin to change them. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
