If you’ve ever felt stuck in a loop (work, home, repeat), this conversation is for you. Julia Romanova brings an unusually human-centred lens to how we navigate change. In this episode, Julia introduces two powerful frameworks that reframe how we relate to ourselves, our colleagues, and the world around us.
Radical Connectedness is the idea that we each exist across three interconnected dimensions (personal, group, and societal). When you recognise them, you stop taking things personally, you build more resilient teams, and you start acting with greater awareness.
The Third Space is something we’ve quietly lost in modern working life. It’s not work. It’s not home. It’s the place where you reconnect with who you actually are, and without it we struggle to recover our energy and feel increasingly trapped.
A sharp, practical conversation for anyone navigating modern work.
