In this episode of the FrameChangers podcast series from Harthill, host Simon Lovegrove is joined by Victoria Liu and members of the Harthill community for a thoughtful conversation inspired by Victoria’s memoir Quiet Perseverance.

Victoria reflects on a life lived across cultures - from Hong Kong to New Zealand, Australia and the UK - and how those experiences have shaped her identity, leadership and work as a coach. Together, the group explores the stories we inherit, the cultural codes we carry, and the small moments that quietly shape who we become.

The conversation moves through themes of shame and honour, grief and growth, and the role of self-disclosure in coaching. It’s an open and reflective dialogue about making sense of our own life stories and how that understanding informs the way we work with others.

Warm, honest and occasionally vulnerable, this episode invites us to consider how quiet perseverance shows up in our lives and leadership.

If this episode resonates with you, please share it with a colleague or leave a review - it helps others discover the conversation.

In this episode of the FrameChangers podcast from Harthill, host Nial O'Reilly introduces a dynamic and heartfelt conversation from the FrameChangers book club as they explore Feeling & Knowing, Making Minds Conscious by Antonio Damasio. Coaches, facilitators, and curious thinkers come together to unpack Damasio’s ideas about consciousness, the essential role of feelings, and what it truly means to know something with our whole selves rather than just the intellect.

You’ll hear honest reflections on how the book stretched, inspired, and sometimes challenged the group. The discussion moves between science and poetry, theory and lived experience, as the participants explore how Damasio’s ideas connect to leadership, coaching practice, embodiment, and the universal human search for belonging.

Recorded live during a book club session, the audio shifts slightly in quality, but the richness of insight, curiosity, and connection more than carries the conversation.

Whether you’ve read this book or are simply drawn to the intersection of neuroscience, philosophy, and personal growth, this episode invites you into a thoughtful exploration of what it means to be, as Damasio writes, feeling beings who think.

Settle in and join a conversation that aims not just to discuss ideas, but to spark discovery and shift how we think about thinking.
