In our first episode, I speak with Maria Fronoshchuk — an Applied Behavioural Scientist and Behaviour Change Specialist whose work is all about helping people and organisations create meaningful, lasting change.
In our conversation, we explore her “why” and how diving deep into behavioural science has shaped not only her work but also her own life. We talk about the science behind making change stick, and how we can design our everyday choices to work with us — not against us — so that we can live more intentionally, for ourselves and for the planet.
