My Innermission
Change is inevitable. But transformation asks something more of us.
The My Innermission Podcast explores how we navigate moments of transition—and how those moments can become opportunities not simply to adapt, but to regenerate.
Host Colleen Stanevich talks with people who have experienced meaningful personal and professional change, as well as thinkers, leaders, and practitioners exploring what helps people, organizations, and communities truly flourish.
Together, we examine change through the lens of living systems: paying attention to the conditions beneath the surface, noticing what has become depleted or no longer serves us, learning what needs to be released, and creating the conditions for something healthier to emerge.
Conversations move between the personal and the professional, the individual and the organization, the body and the land—exploring everything from purpose, identity, relationships, and nervous system regulation to leadership, organizational culture, systems change, and regeneration.
Because whether we're navigating a transition in our own lives or stewarding change within an organization, the question isn't simply “What needs to change?”
It's also:
What conditions will allow something to grow in aliveness?
My Innermission is a podcast about navigating change, learning from living systems, and cultivating the conditions for people and organizations to sustain, produce, and flourish.

Addressing addiction is a difficult but essential change for a healthier life, but what if you are a witness to a loved one's addiction? In this interview with Laura Cook Boldt, author of Unraveled: A Mother and Son Story of Addiction and Redemption, we discuss her own journey to sobriety and her experience as a mother witnessing her son's addiction and path to sobriety. Laura provides an honest, vulnerable, and at times, humorous look at what it means to come to terms with addiction and how we can help ourselves and others' in productive ways. We discuss:
- How can you take care of yourself and keep healthy boundaries when someone you know is facing addiction?
- What are essential questions to ask if you are wondering about your own tendencies towards addiction?
- What are some of the first steps that those facing addiction or living with an addict can take to step towards sobriety?
