Episode 1 - Be careful what you wish for - Autonomy

In our first episode, “Be careful what you wish for - Autonomy,” we found ourselves circling around a deceptively simple question: is autonomy always the thing we should be aiming for, especially in cultures built on trust? 

It’s a topic that sounds clear on the surface, but once we got talking, we realised just how many layers sit underneath it.

We wanted to open the series with something honest - a conversation about that universal itch for independence, choice, and control. But as we unpacked it, we found ourselves wondering whether the freedom we crave always delivers what we imagine… or whether it sometimes comes with unexpected weight. There’s something strangely comforting about exploring that tension together, acknowledging the complexity rather than pretending the answers are obvious.

If you’re curious about the messy, human side of autonomy - the hopes, the costs, the contradictions - we’d love you to join us in this episode. It’s a gentle invitation to think alongside us, not to land on the “right” answer, but to explore what autonomy really means in our lives.
