The Futuring Lab

What can you do when things around and inside of you feel so overwhelming? Feel so daunting? The enormity of the challenge often leaves us numb or hiding from what we really care about. How to bridge this gap? Where do we start? We start from inside. 🌱 Because the outer world is the reflection of our inner world. Therefore, we start by paying attention to what is preventing us from acting on what...

2 years ago I partnered with a food and farming consultancy firm, EFFP, to co-develop a program that would support farmers to transition from industrial to regenerative agriculture.  A 100 questions later, (as I didn’t know much about the topic), something really struck me! I could clearly see that how we have been taught, in the western way, to cultivate the land at an industrial scale, have the...

In today’s episode, we are hanging out with an underdog: Vulnerability! For long, Vulnerability has been shamed and hidden, but that has been and is changing. In a world where our challenges, big or small, require us to think drastically differently to before - I am exploring what could be the potential of Vulnerability in creating the Future we would like our children to live in. Asking some key...

What if each Change occurring in and around our lives had a purpose of their own? A mind of their own? With their individual patterns of behaviours?  And that Changes choose us! What does that actually mean? How can we then take Changes in our stride, instead of feeling at their effect…? That’s are some of the questions and concept we are exploring on this week’s mad podcast ! I hope you will join...

“Through Art, we are being less guided by our mental voices and more by our inner senses.” (Alix Wheeler) What if creativity could be more than an atrophied muscle for us? Instead it could be an amazing doorway to creating a different future! How can practicing a form of Art, in our daily lives, become a wonderful medium for seeing beyond the set structures we are trying to evolve? - now AND for o...

In this 21st episode of the Futuring Lab, I wanted to develop a bit more on the event I have recently been to: ChangeNOW in Paris. An event aimed at pulling together the people working on creating a better future for all.  It’s the second year I have been to this event and I left again with such an expended perception of the world, a renewed energy and sense of community, that I wanted to share it...

“What would our world look like if each one of us had a devotional practice? Something that doesn’t make sense to your logical mind… but that your heart and soul keep on taking you back there!!” This is the key question I explore in this episode. By sharing wholeheartedly my own devotional practice with you, we explore the world beyond performing, beyond controlling or conforming. And its highly u...

We hear about the stories that have been written but not often about the stories in becoming. In this 18th episode, Pete Russell (my special guest!!) and I will take you through many fascinating stories!  Some that have been already written,  - Like part of Pete’s journey as an entrepreneur, wavering through many storms to create incredible purpose-led organisations, And some that are in becoming,...

What if this week we helped your Fire to burn brighter?? This is my offer for you, and this is what this episode is about. Each of us have a beautiful Fire inside that is a source of aliveness, a source of adventure and a source of potential! Unfortunately, it often “doesn't make logical sense” to follow it. So we don’t. Becoming less alive, and more homogenised. But what if your Fire could ge...

What about making 2026, the year of Agency?! Over your life, your decisions, your values…what deeply matters to you. Not in a controlling and exhausting way, but in an open, and authentic way. This is not a one off new year’s resolution! This is a way of life. This is a path to choose. The path of giving yourself the best chances to live the life you actually deeply want to live. How can you do th...

Since I have recorded these wonderful Business Potential episodes with Ebru Kaya and André Stürmer, I have been thinking deeply about a core concept that shines through everything they talk about. Our Essence. Asking myself a lot of questions such as: What is an Essence? What is my Essence? What is the purpose of an Essence? Is it really important? And, after a few weeks, I got some answers. I fou...

As we are living in an increasingly uncertain and volatile world, many of us are looking for more certainty than ever before. More control, more prediction, more overthinking… About ourselves, our work, climate change, global inequality, AI etc. A bit like an addiction really. But like with any addiction, it comes at a cost. A cost that is rarely talked about, looked at or consciously comes into o...

“If there was a path, that is not your path. That is somebody else’s path.” Ebru Kaya Welcome to the second part of “Business Potential”, with Ebru Kaya and André Stürmer, the founders of Atreyu and RIA.

In this week’s episode, we touch on something that we are all trying to navigate everyday: Complexity. Although it sounds like navigating complexity should be complicated, it doesn’t have to be. It can be simple. The way Nature is. Unfortunately in our day to day life, many of us feel that we are battling with this complexity of dealing with so many things at the same time…and it comes at a cost....

“Our complex problems don’t deserve fast food answers.” And I am not talking literally about fast food here. “Fast food answers are short term pleasure, short term benefits and long term problems.” In today’s episode, we are questioning a very important base of our daily life and western culture: Our insatiable search for answers.  In a world overloaded with answers, do we really need more of them...

When we are trying to make a (big) change in our career, and try to follow our own unique path, Guilt can invite itself along. But when we start diving into the nature of our Guilt, we can see through it and beyond it. We can see that the problem might not be our actions but rather our conditioning. In this episode, I help you see through the Guilt, straight at your conditioning and guide you thro...

Do you often feel disempowered with what is happening in your life? Or that you keep bumping into the same patterns of behaviours or feelings? If so, then this episode will be for you! I share with you a foundational tool that I use everyday and share with all my clients. When it comes to wanting to live a better life, and making the changes that we truly want, there is a trap that we often fall i...

In this week's episode I thought I would touch on a topic that I see myself and many people around me struggle with. The current painful transition in our lives, in our world and in Nature. This pull from Nature to slow down, whilst society is pushing us to speed up again.  This creates a deep dissonance inside of us which is very hard to manage. And generally that we don’t manage but feel at the...

In this week’s short and intimate episode, we explore further letting go, dive into the link with our ego, our heart, and a little activity/challenge to practice this shift. And bonus!

I hope you enjoy this week’s episode and will jo...

In this 5th episode, we turn to Nature to learn from her wisdom. Inspired by how she keeps her resilience and balance through Controlled Burns, so can we! Applied to our lives, Controlled Burns are a necessary process to let go of what is not serving us anymore, and to make space for what could be instead. In this episode, we: - Learn to recognise what you do that is actually not serving you, and...

As a recovering people-pleaser, and imposter-syndromist, setting boundaries has been something I have tried to avoid, like plague. But life is beautifully done and has put me through many opportunities to face into it. To grow from it and actually have an even more beautiful life thanks to it. In this episode I am sharing my boundary-recovery experiences - unfiltered. Ways to change your perspecti...

In this week’s episode I talk about the most fundamental topic there is, in my opinion. For a beautiful future, and for a beautiful present. Trusting yourself. Loving yourself. Gently moving away from pleasing others and finding trust in others more than in yourself. I share with you some of my experience, my daughter’s beautiful view on it (the best part) and some questions that you can start ask...

What is actually the Future, the life, that you long for? In this second episode, this is what we are unpicking together! A cornerstone of learning to future, is to figure out: What for? Towards what? Who for? Our longings are quietly waiting within each of us! But the problem is, they are often overshadowed by our loud "have to, must to, shoulds". So listen up to make more space for you...
