When life, leadership, or the world go sideways, certainty doesn't show up on schedule. Things Go Sideways is a podcast for the middle of it — the part where the plan has cracked, but nothing new has fully formed yet. Each episode is a slow, honest conversation with someone living through change: a career ending, an identity shifting, a sense that what used to work no longer fits. We don't rush to lessons or tidy conclusions. We stay with what's real long enough to notice what's true. Hosted by KiKi L'Italien, Things Go Sideways is not pitching you advice, motivation, or transformation content. This podcast is bringing you orientation. A place to make sense of uncertainty without pretending you already know what comes next. (Because most of the time, we don't — and that's not a failure.) This podcast exists to help people stay present long enough to learn when certainty is gone.2026 出世 就職活動 心理学 心理学・心の健康 経済学 衛生・健康的な生活

  • The Satir Change Model: Making Sense of Chaos with Adrian Segar

    The Satir Change Model: Making Sense of Chaos with Adrian Segar
    2026/07/11

    In this conversation, I sit down with my friend Adrian Segar to explore the Satir Model of Change—a framework for understanding why things feel so chaotic when everything is shifting (check out Adrian's great post about change models, including Satir's, on Conferences That Work. Adrian shares how foreign elements in his life (job loss, family crisis, identity shifts) eventually led to new, more authentic chapters.

    Adrian Segar is known for designing gatherings that help people move from guarded to honest, and from conversation to action. But in this conversation, he's taking us on a guided tour of Virginia Satir's model of change.

    This model describes how change feels.

    Adrian walks us through:

    • Why we start in an old status quo

    • What happens when a foreign element hits our lives

    • Why the messy, emotional chaos that follows is actually normal

    • How a transforming idea emerges

    • And how we eventually land in a new status quo

    Along the way, he shares very personal sideways stories. From leaving a physics career after 25 years of preparation, to losing a business overnight, to navigating the long, hard road of parenting adopted twins in crisis, Adrian shares how each of those disruptions eventually revealed unexpected silver linings.

    If you're in the middle of a layoff, a big transition, a family upheaval, or a season of not knowing, my hope is that this episode gives you language, context, and a little more compassion for yourself.

    Please enjoy this conversation with Adrian Segar.

  • When the Job Goes, Who Are You? Stan Gibson on Identity After Loss

    When the Job Goes, Who Are You? Stan Gibson on Identity After Loss
    2026/06/10
    Stan Gibson built four decades of corporate success — and then watched it dissolve in a single phone call. When the Fortune 100 company he'd given everything to displaced his position, Stan wasn't blindsided by the job loss. He was blindsided by the question underneath it: who are you when the career that defined you is gone? In this conversation, Stan Gibson — executive coach, keynote speaker, and author of Living a Rich and Intentional Life — walks through what it actually takes to rebuild identity after disruption. He covers the moment a friend's terminal cancer diagnosis reoriented his entire understanding of what "rich" means; how his wife's stage four cancer diagnosis forced him to practice what he preached about self-care; and the coaching framework he uses with executives navigating their own identity collapse — from strengths mapping to "I am" identity statements to a reverse-engineered five-year vision process. Stan introduces a through-line he calls the "genius paragraph" — a granular translation of your five core strengths into a statement of who you are at your best. It's not motivational filler. It's a tool for people who've lost the external structure that told them who they were, and need something internal to replace it. Why Listen Now: If you've ever let a job title answer the question "who are you" — and then lost the job — this episode is a hand on the shoulder, not a blueprint. Stan's been there. He built a life from the rubble twice. If this is you… You're still carrying the weight of a disruption you didn't choose, and part of what's heavy is that you don't know who you are without it.

  • She Went In for Her First Mammogram. Then Everything Changed.

    She Went In for Her First Mammogram. Then Everything Changed.
    2026/06/08

    Cecilia Satovich was 40, raising three young daughters, and living inside the life she had hoped for.

    Then she went in for her first mammogram.

    What started as something routine (an appointment you know you should make, the kind you might delay because life is full and you are busy and also, let's be real, who wants to deal with it?) became the beginning of a breast cancer diagnosis right as the world was heading into the uncertainty of early 2020.

    In this episode of Things Go Sideways, Cecilia talks about what it felt like to hear the word cancer when her children were still small, treatment was suddenly complicated by COVID, and the future she had been counting on no longer felt guaranteed.

    We talk about mammograms, fear, motherhood, asking for help, saying the wrong thing, and how hard it can be to stay close to someone else's pain when you don't know what to do with your own discomfort.

    This is not a neat cancer-survivor story with a shiny bow on it. Cecilia's story is about what happens when the body interrupts the plan, when ordinary life becomes precious in a way that feels almost unbearable, and when surviving something changes how you show up for other people who are still in it.

    Because sometimes the sideways moment is not only the diagnosis. Sometimes it is realizing how much you love your life.

    And yes. Get the mammogram.

    ---

    What is it like when your first mammogram leads to a breast cancer diagnosis?

    When a first mammogram leads to a breast cancer diagnosis, the shock is not only medical. It can interrupt your sense of safety, your plans, your family life, and the future you thought you were standing inside. In this episode of Things Go Sideways, Cecilia Satovich talks about being diagnosed with breast cancer at 40, while raising three young daughters and beginning treatment during the uncertainty of early 2020. Her story is about fear, motherhood, asking for help, and what changes when your body forces you to pay attention.
