Change, Evolution & Everything in Between
This week on The School Run Podcast, Liv and Jane dive into a completely unscripted, raw and open-hearted conversation about change — why it feels difficult, how it shapes us, and how we can learn to navigate it with more peace and curiosity.
From new jobs and shifting friendships to big family transitions and emotional growth, Liv shares what it feels like when everything seems to change at once. Jane brings her reflections on business shifts, personal evolution and how nature provides the perfect metaphor for the seasons we go through.
Together, they explore:
🌱 Why humans think we don’t like change
🌬️ The power of reframing change as evolution
🌊 What to do when life feels “all up in the air”
🧘♀️ Finding inner peace when everything outside feels chaotic
🛌 The grounding force of returning to your basics (sleep, food, water)
💛 Why emotions matter — and why you need to let yourself feel them
📚 Books that are helping us understand change on a deeper level
💬 The mindset shifts that soften worry, hurry, stress and doubt
This episode is warm, reflective, grounding — and filled with the kind of honest mother–daughter conversation that has kept listeners coming back for nearly three years.
As Liv approaches her final episodes as co-host, this conversation is especially meaningful, full of perspective on how life can evolve in ways we never expect… and why that’s not something to fear.
