Secret life of Change

What if each Change occurring in and around our lives had a purpose of their own? A mind of their own? With their individual patterns of behaviours? And that Changes choose us! What does that actually mean? How can we then take Changes in our stride, instead of feeling at their effect…? That’s are some of the questions and concept we are exploring on this week’s mad podcast ! I hope you will join me on this fun and insightful journey and if you do, please share with me your reflections or questions!

Art & Us

“Through Art, we are being less guided by our mental voices and more by our inner senses.” (Alix Wheeler) What if creativity could be more than an atrophied muscle for us? Instead it could be an amazing doorway to creating a different future! How can practicing a form of Art, in our daily lives, become a wonderful medium for seeing beyond the set structures we are trying to evolve? - now AND for our future? In this episode I am sharing an experience I had as a participant of a fabulous Art event hosted by SEED 2065: - Reflecting on the power of the artistic creative process (in comparison to a more coporate creative process) and the mindblowing results! - As well as, the unsuspected benefits that #Art can have for us, for our family, our community and the wider systems we are contributing to. I hope you will enjoy the prompts, the provocations and have fun with it!! Let’s get Arty 🙂 —-- If you enjoyed it, don't forget to rate the show and subscribe to it. It helps more people find it!

The Wave that is coming!

In this 21st episode of the Futuring Lab, I wanted to develop a bit more on the event I have recently been to: ChangeNOW in Paris. An event aimed at pulling together the people working on creating a better future for all. It’s the second year I have been to this event and I left again with such an expended perception of the world, a renewed energy and sense of community, that I wanted to share it with you! In this episode I share and explore with examples, the three major shifts that I have noticed in this conference: The shift in narrative: The emerging future is more fun, more sexy, more resilient than the current (extractive) world we live in. The shift in Power narrative: from Power over to Power With. The shift in more traditional sectors (like finance): Their evolution is real and well, well considered on leading the way. Too often these amazing people, solutions and shifts are too hard to find, and to acknowledge, so instead, I am bringing some of their wisdom to your ears. I hope you enjoy this episode and leave as energised and with a renewed will to act, as I have! And please let me know your questions, thoughts or perceptions on either the event or my take on it. I’d love to connect! alixwheeler.coaching@gmail.com If you enjoyed this episode please rate the show and save it, it enables more people to find it! ----- And here are the links to the replay for ChangeNow and more particularly to some of the talks I am referring to in the episode: All replays from the event: https://www.changenow-summit.com/2026/replay Sexy climate change: https://www.changenow-summit.com/2026/replay/detail/?id=609&title=How%20to%20Organize%20Collective%20Action Faith and wisdom: https://www.changenow-summit.com/2026/replay/detail/?id=675&title=Faiths%20and%20Wisdom%20for%20the%20Earth The path to European sovereignty: https://www.changenow-summit.com/2026/replay/detail/?id=680&title=The%20Path%20to%20European%20Sovereignty Changing financial structures: Not available at the time of publishing

The Lost Art of Devotion

“What would our world look like if each one of us had a devotional practice? Something that doesn’t make sense to your logical mind… but that your heart and soul keep on taking you back there!!” This is the key question I explore in this episode. By sharing wholeheartedly my own devotional practice with you, we explore the world beyond performing, beyond controlling or conforming. And its highly underestimated benefits! I also give you some ideas for where you can start yourself to uncover your own devotional practice, and go do it!! I hope this episode inspires you to want to lean more into this amazing unrealised potential for your life. If you enjoyed it, don't forget to rate the show and subscribe to it.

Reignite your Fire!

What if this week we helped your Fire to burn brighter?? This is my offer for you, and this is what this episode is about. Each of us have a beautiful Fire inside that is a source of aliveness, a source of adventure and a source of potential! Unfortunately, it often “doesn't make logical sense” to follow it. So we don’t. Becoming less alive, and more homogenised. But what if your Fire could get reignited and fired up!! What could your life feel like? What could our world feel like? Let’s explore that together in this episode. 🔥 If you want to replay from the exercise I shared go to: 9.35 If you enjoy this episode, please rate it and share it further. And you will probably enjoy my newsletter too: You can⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠subscribe here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

Re-finding our Agency

What about making 2026, the year of Agency?! Over your life, your decisions, your values…what deeply matters to you. Not in a controlling and exhausting way, but in an open, and authentic way. This is not a one off new year’s resolution! This is a way of life. This is a path to choose. The path of giving yourself the best chances to live the life you actually deeply want to live. How can you do that? That’s what we explore in this episode! There is no magic wand in my experience, but there is a very pivotal element to it: Your brains! How it operates (very simply), what it gives attention to, how it affects the decisions you make and the life you create. I hope that this episode will give you some useful food for thoughts and actions! If you enjoyed listening to it, you can subscribe to the show! And visit my newsletter, as you will probably enjoy it too: You can⁠⁠⁠ ⁠subscribe here⁠⁠⁠⁠.
