With a background in jazz and a long-standing fascination with human change and habits, she creates tools, conversations, and projects that explore how people make sense of themselves and one another. Her work includes Amiko® Cards, the Adventures in Behaviour Change podcast, a series of children’s books, and an album of original piano music.\nIn this conversation, we explore curiosity, bewilderment, and the value of staying with experience rather than rushing to explain or resolve it. We talk about patterns, presence, and how meaning slowly reveals itself in relationships and in life — showing how deeper listening and meaningful conversation can genuinely shift how you see yourself and others.\nFor more of Katie's work:\nWebsite: https://www.littlechallenges.com/\nLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/katieelliott/\nFor more from Mark McCartney:\nNewsletter: https://www.whatisagood.life/\nWebsite: https://www.mmcleadership.com/\nLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-mccartney-14b0161b4/\nYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@whatisagoodlife\nInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/markcmccartney\n00:00 — Patterns and Play\n04:31 — Bewildered by Humans\n07:48 — Not Being Believed\n10:21 — Staying Open\n13:01 — Kindness Inside\n17:17 — Being Human Together\n20:56 — Dropping the Mask\n23:31 — Jazz and Freedom\n31:26 — Creating Human Spaces\n40:44 — Making Meaning Together\n52:31 — What is a Good Life for Katie?\nKeywords: Meaning of Life Interviews | meaning of life conversations | exploring life | big life questions | meaning of life discussions | creating a meaningful life​","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/bmT8FMFAsdpL8YpCcl1-OrgjJf3IhVZ_KJftDu8Wgy8/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzM3NDg2LzE2NzI4/MzUxMDgtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
