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.

Stepping into Greater Social Activism with Dinah Becton-Consuegra
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Making a professional change is a common transition, but when Dinah Becton-Consuegra made her professional shift it was to center racial social activism to an even greater extent in her life. In this interview, Dinah explains why she felt compelled to take up racial social justice as her profession, not just a personal endeavor. She currently serves as the Chief of Staff and Learning at the Kapor Center. She also explains why all of us and how all of us can step into greater racial social activism. We talk about the importance of bringing greater social justice to the BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) community, the changes that white people can make in their daily lives to support greater social justice, and why this is the foundational issue for social change.
We discuss:
- What does it mean to align your values with your activism?
- How can daily actions reflect our social justice activism?
- What are some ways that white people can support racial social justice while still ensuring that BIPOC people have their voices and leadership heard?
