Hope & Possibilities: A Love Letter to the Future of Work
In this episode, I share how I think about futurism not just as theory, but as something you can actually live. My focus has always been: how do we bring futurism into daily life? How do the choices we make today move us closer to the future we want?
I talk about the future-back method I first learned at the Institute for the Future, why noticing matters more than prediction, and how small shifts in attention can help you navigate change with more agency and optimism.
How I use the future-back approach to imagine 10 years ahead and work backwards
Why I see scanning for signals as the heart of futurist practice
The difference between signals, trends, and lasting change (with stories about cell phones, remote work, and commercial real estate)
My personal story of choosing flexibility early so I could be the parent I wanted to be
Why agency and autonomy matter more than ever in how we work and live
How I balance hopeful futures with the reality of shadow sides
Futurism doesn’t have to be abstract. It can be practical, embodied, and deeply personal. For me, it’s a way to navigate uncertainty while staying aligned with the life—and future—I want to build.
