Learn how to navigate the emotional weight of change, why tethering matters (especially when everything feels like a shit show), and how to start preparing leaders to navigate failure with awareness and intention.

Amber Anthony is a behaviour specialist, neuro-inclusion consultant, and founder of the Neurospicy Collective. She brings a systems lens to human experience, helping organisations and individuals navigate change in a way that’s actually supportive, not performative.

We talk about the messy middle: emotional regulation during destabilising times, the cost of continuous change, and what it means to build your own sense of tethering when external anchors fall away.

If you’ve been feeling like you’re rebuilding midair or trying to lead through uncertainty, this one’s worth a listen.

Here’s what went down:

• Why small, ongoing changes hit harder than one big disruption

• What “tethering” really means and how to build it for yourself

• How to hold emotional space for the in-between moments of change

• Why do we need to stop pretending leaders won’t fail and teach them how to navigate failure with awareness and intention

• The cost of mental load in organisations and how to design with capacity in mind

• Why resilience is less about being tough, and more about coming back

• A different way to frame the emotional impact of systems change
