How many New Yearâs resolutions have you made, only to see them fizzle out before February? In this uplifting episode, host Jo Cowlin offers a refreshing antidote to the traditional âNew Year, New Youâ rhetoric. Instead of big, daunting goals, she delivers a story straight from her living room: a tale of her determined cockapoo Jack. A formerly forbidden door, and how pure persistence unlocked surprising lessons about growth, well-being, and our brainsâ capacity to adapt at any age or stage.
With humour, honesty, and practical inspiration, Jo connects the dots between neuroscience, motivation, and everyday barriers revealing why youâre never too âestablished,â âold,â or âset in your waysâ to learn, pivot, or change. Youâll uncover the myth of being stuck, and learn how even small experiments, patience, and persistence are the real keys to transformation.
Feeling skeptical or stuck this January? This episode is your permission slip to embrace small changes, celebrate progress, and rediscover your capacity not just in work, but in life.

Youâll also hear practical guidance on questions leaders often wrestle with: How much vulnerability is appropriate? How can it strengthen psychological safety?

Change. We all know itâs good for us, yet so often it feels impossible to follow through. One minute youâre motivated, the next youâre stuck in the same old pattern, wondering why you canât quite move forward.
In this episode of Your Permission to Pause, weâre talking about why change feels so frustratingly hard, even when itâs something you genuinely want. From giving up alcohol for Sober October, to breaking habits at work like holding on to too much or avoiding delegation, the struggle is the same.
Iâll be sharing a simple framework from the work of Robert Keegan and Lisa Lahey called "Immunity to Change,â which explains why we can feel like one footâs pressing on the accelerator while the otherâs firmly on the brake. With practical tools, real coaching stories, and a focus on self-compassion and small steps, youâll see how to spot whatâs really keeping you stuck and how to start shifting it.
If youâve ever felt like youâre sabotaging your own progress, this conversation will help you find a way through.

05:37 Why we self-sabotage: protective fears override our goals

Do you ever find yourself spiralling from a simple work annoyance into a full-blown story about a colleague's character or intentions? Youâre not alone. In this eye-opening episode of Your Permission to Pause, Jo Cowlin cracks open the (often unspoken) reality of rapid-fire judgment in workplace dynamics. She shares how we can often leap from observing a missed deadline from a colleague to making it personal, and why this pattern quietly sabotages team performance, creativity, and wellbeing.
Through Joâs real-life insights from her years of coaching, youâll learn why your brain is hardwired to make up stories, how to catch yourself before you spiral, and, crucially, what you can do to change the cycle for yourself and your team.
Here are the Highlights:
00:00 Introduction: Improving team dynamics
04:35 Brains quickly create narratives, which aided survival historically
08:58 It often isnât personal; we need to separate facts from emotion
14:34 Defending against imagined threats can damage relationships
17:42 Break the judgment cycle by being more self-aware
20:07 Separate facts from interpretations and replace certainty with curiosity
22:49 Challenge your assumptions by considering alternative explanations
25:54 Reflect on reactions, communicate early, and manage internal sensations.
30:49 Foster a team culture of trust and safety by encouraging open communication and personal accountability
33:12 Presence enables less judgmental reactions
37:10 Create a team culture of psychological safety and learning, not judgment.
