Toxic Masculinity is something that has gained a wider understanding over the last few years and is thankfully being talked about much more in mainstream media. In this episode, the team explore the roots of the term and the ‘psychic mutilation
In this episode we dive into the idea that the way we deal with events in the present - Covid being one such example - is intricately linked to experiences from our pasts, particularly trauma. We explore the many different types of experiences
In this podcast the Foundation for Change team discuss the topic of feminism. This is something that is very close to our hearts and the topic of gender and power is something that runs through all of our programmes, most obviously being centra
We live in what could be described as an individualist society. This means as a society we are supposedly motivated by personal goals, rewards and benefits. We can apparently achieve whatever we want as long as we work hard enough. Sounds great
Grief and loss was the first topic we covered when we started our podcast, just as we had all gone into a national lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Ten months on, the subject of grief and loss feels sadly more relevant than before.With t
In this episode, we continue our exploration of systemic thinking. Following on from the last couple of episodes - the introduction to it, then looking at how we often don’t think about or question the systems we live in - we now look to deepen
Our latest episode is the second in the series of podcasts that explore the topic of systems. In the first episode of this series we talked about how useful it was to think systemically. How thinking systemically helps frame your life in ways t
In our last episode of 2020, we wanted to step back and reflect on the year, particularly on the reasons that led up to us creating the Making Sense Of… podcast. We cast our memories back to March 2020 and to us realising how what we do - in te

Sometimes it can feel difficult to find the positives at a time where the world has changed in ways we could never have imagined. Sometimes you need a framework to lean on, something to help find a way of identifying what you’re grateful for or
In this episode we discuss that most difficult and painful of feelings, shame. Shame is so difficult to express and talk about because, by its very nature, it is a set of feelings that must be hidden at all cost.Shame can have a devastating im
In this, the second part of our podcast on Core Beliefs, we expand upon the concept to consider Core Beliefs from a wider social context . We ask how experiences of social inequality can impact the individual’s beliefs about themselves and the
