This Changes Things
Are you driving your own life and career — or getting dragged along?
That's the question at the heart of This Changes Things, a podcast about leadership, relationships, and what it actually takes to show up, at work, at home, and everywhere in between. Each week, host Shoshanna Hecht — an executive and leadership coach, drawing on two decades as a therapist and coach — sits down with a founder, a leader, a thinker she wants to learn from, and gets past the version they've told a hundred times to what matters most to them: the real decisions behind how they got here, and where they're headed now. Whatever they bring — a business they built, a book they wrote, a life they rebuilt — they get into it together, and into what it can offer the rest of us.
Again and again, one thing surfaces: you don't have to hit a breaking point to change course and start leading & living like you mean it, it begins the moment you decide it does. It's the same conversation Shoshanna has with her clients every day: honest, specific, and on your side. You'll come away a little clearer on what matters to you, and a lot less alone in figuring out what to do about it.
Whether you lead a company, a team, a partnership, or your own life, there's something here for you. New episodes weekly — the next chapter of the podcast formerly known as Your New Life Blend.

How extremely online are you? When you create and consume, who or what is influencing you? Whose voices are being heard, and amplified, and platformed? Who are you giving your attention to, and who's taking it? And, who's making money off that? These are just a few questions that tech reporter, columnist and creator Taylor Lorenz wants to get you thinking about in her new book, "Extremely Online The Untold Story of Fame, Influence, and Power on the Internet," which looks at the rise of the modern social internet and how it created our current digital landscape across information, commerce, and connection. In this episode of "Your New Life Blend," host Shoshanna Hecht talks to Taylor about how social media wrested power back from traditional gatekeepers, how women have driven the influencer industry (thank you, monetization), why boundaries are critical (always and forever) and how we can and must push tech companies to be better custodians of our user experience, the information we receive, and our data. Obviously you should share this episode across all platforms.
