Nina Dar. The Change Troubleshooter
Change doesn’t only happen on big stages or inside shiny transformation programmes.
It happens in real lives, real communities and often far from the spotlight.
Nina Dar: The Change Troubleshooter is a podcast that gives space to those stories.
Hosted by Nina Dar, transformation leader, executive coach and founder of Cheeky Monkey Business Solutions, the podcast features conversations with people who’ve driven change from the grassroots up, challenged the status quo, or quietly shaped the world in ways you may never have heard of, but should.
Some episodes are planned. Some are wonderfully accidental. All are real.
In 2026, the podcast leans into the themes of Nina’s book,
Your Move: The Human Reset 100 Coaching Moments for Conscious Transformation in the Age of AI, exploring what it really means to stay human, awake and courageous in a world accelerating faster than our systems, and sometimes our thinking.
No hype. No hero worship.
Just honest stories, human insight and the belief that real change starts closer to the ground than we’re usually told.

A Yard full of Unity

Julia Davis has been described as mad as a box of frogs (in a good way) by The Curious Creative Club. She definitely embraces everything that life can throw at you with a curiosity and lust for life that is infectious, but it's her sense of community and desire to share that is overwhelmingly apparent when you meet her.
Julia started The Unity Yard when she started selling plants from the yard (attached to the large warehouse space that was once a fabric mill in Holmfirth) during covid when she could no longer work in the opticians.
The warehouse space became available for rent, and without hesitation, she took it on.
You would naturally assume that it's a Community Interest Company (CIC) when you enter the gorgeous huge doors but it's not, because the reality of making a CIC work is more difficult than it should be.
In this episode Nina and Julia talk about Julia's journey to The Unity Yard, what the space means to people today and how Julia has achieved what she set out to achieve but how, keeping that going, can be the hardest part of the journey.
