Some conversations bring out a fire you didn’t even know you had. That’s exactly what happened when I spoke with Johan Jensen, host of the Spiritual Emergency Podcast. Johan encouraged me to dive deep into topics I often hesitate to touch on, yet are deeply relevant to regenerative career transitions.

In today’s episode, I’m sharing a powerful extract from our conversation—the one that, in my own words, “lights an angry fire in me.” Johan and I tackled two big topics I’ve had an evolving relationship with: corporate sustainability and climate tech. As someone who spent over a decade devoted to climate tech, I’m now looking at the field through a new lens—one that reveals its limitations in driving systemic change and true transformation.

I want to share this with you because I see so many people, with the best intentions, entering the sustainability space only to be swallowed by the corporate machine. I’ve lived the experience of believing in a sector’s power to create change, only to see it held back by a lack of systemic and intersectional awareness.

In this episode, we’ll explore why sustainability without system change is simply a sticking plaster and why, if you’re moving into this space, it’s crucial to have your eyes wide open. Learn how to focus your efforts on creating meaningful change that truly makes an impact.
Tune in to learn:

• Why sustainability without systems change is just a sticking plaster

• How my experience in climate tech has shaped my view on real transformation

• Key questions to ensure your work in sustainability aligns with what truly matters
