About this listen

Welcome to Change Unfiltered: The Freedom to Work Differently, the podcast for mid-career professionals rethinking success and quietly wondering, is this it?

You’ve built a strong career. Delivered results. Hit the milestones. But somewhere along the way, the job title, the salary and the stability stopped being enough.

This isn’t a podcast about burnout or breakdowns. It’s about the subtler discomforts: the quiet disconnection, the urge to do work that feels more like you, the questions that won’t go away.

Each episode shares real stories of people who’ve stepped off the traditional path (from fractional leaders, to consultants, to founders) and what it actually takes to reshape your life and work from the inside out.

If you’re at a crossroads and feeling out of sync with your old ambitions, Change Unfiltered offers insight, reflection, and real talk from those who’ve been there too.

Ready to challenge the status quo and work on your own terms? Subscribe and start exploring the possibilities.

  • S3 Ep29 Less Roles, More You: When Doing It All Stops Working

    S3 Ep29 Less Roles, More You: When Doing It All Stops Working
    May 30 2025

    What happens when the roles you’ve worked so hard to earn (lawyer, founder, parent, carer) start to collide?

    In this deeply honest conversation, lawyer and startup founder Sarah Wilder shares what it means to hold complexity with grace, even when everything feels like too much. From the invisible weight of caregiving and perimenopause to the moment she realised something had to give, Sarah shares what it takes to keep showing up and what it looks like to finally stop doing it all. Sarah’s story offers both candour and hope for anyone realising that the change they need to make might mean it’s time to do less.

  • S3 Ep28 Why Don’t Men Talk About It?

    S3 Ep28 Why Don’t Men Talk About It?
    May 15 2025

    In this powerful Mental Health Awareness Week conversation, Angela is joined by returning guest Daryn Mason, a former tech exec turned psychotherapist, to explore why so many men struggle to talk about their mental health.

    Together they unpack the emotional cost of staying silent, the societal pressures that shape male identity, and the real impact of high-performance environments on wellbeing. From the early signs of burnout to full breakdown, Daryn shares his dual perspective as both a survivor and a therapist with insight, warmth, and clarity.

    Themes include: – The three stages of burnout: flameout, burnout, rustout – Why success and mental health aren’t opposites – Perfectionism, performance identity & compartmentalisation – The importance of active listening and real recovery – Why men often wait until it’s “too late” to get help

  • S3 Ep27 Not That Bad Isn’t the Same as Alright

    S3 Ep27 Not That Bad Isn’t the Same as Alright
    May 13 2025

    This special solo episode marks Mental Health Awareness Week with a deeply personal story from Angela Scott. It’s not a story of crisis or collapse, but of quiet misalignment and the slow, steady realisation that “not that bad” isn’t the same as alright. If you’ve ever felt like you’re performing a life that no longer fits, this one’s for you.

    Key Themes:

    • The invisible cost of overadaptation in high-functioning professionals

    • Why mental health challenges don’t always look dramatic

    • Trust, misfit, and the slow erosion of self in misaligned systems

    • Letting go of performative roles and reclaiming vitality

    • Redefining success through clarity, not consensus
