Authentic Unraveling - a podcast by Integer Network

What happens when your boat starts to wobble? Most of us panic—but what if curiosity could change everything? In this episode, host Jana sits down with Karen, an Integer coach who blends science and theater to help people navigate life's uncertainties. They explore a powerful shift: instead of judging the wobble as bad, what if you got curious about it? Karen shares how asking "I wonder why?" instead of "What's wrong?" can transform moments of unraveling into opportunities for discovery. Learn practical ways to cultivate curiosity, even when—especially when—you don't have all the answers.www.integernetwork.com

In this episode, we chat with Shawn Buck about what it means to authentically unravel—and how choosing unconventional paths can lead to unexpected joy. Shawn shares his story of leaving university to pursue meaningful work in Cape Town, navigating the tension between freedom and stability, and building something magical in the process.But here's where it gets really good: Shawn founded  the Cape Town Chapter of Silent Book Club, a movement that's brought together thousands of people to read in public spaces—from breweries to trains to parks. What started as a hope that five friends would show up has become 150+ people gathering three times a month, creating community around one simple act: reading together in silence.Join us as we explore how our generation is redefining what "success" looks like, why it's okay to not have all the answers, and how finding your people might just be as simple as showing up to read a book in a brewery with 300 strangers.Find Silent Book Club Cape Town on Instagram and discover your next gathering.https://www.instagram.com/cptsilentbookclub/www.integernetwork.com

"If I could give everyone a superpower, it would be a feeling of belonging—because when we feel like we belong without needing to perform, we become better people." In our latest conversation, I sat down with Christie, founder of The Parent Hub and Boss Moms groups, to explore what real community looks like in our isolated world.We dove deep into:🔹 The difference between being surrounded by people vs. truly belonging🔹 Why vulnerability creates stronger connections than perfection🔹 How authentic community transforms both personal growth and business success🔹 Practical steps to find your people (hint: it starts with getting off Instagram and showing up!)Christie's journey from people-pleasing to building genuine community will resonate with anyone who's ever felt alone in a crowd or exhausted from trying to be everything to everyone.Ready to discover the superpower of belonging?Connect with Christie:🌐 Website: https://linktr.ee/the.parent_hub 💼 LinkedIn: https://za.linkedin.com/in/christie-buss-b2a110318 Join our Integer Network community:https://www.integernetwork.com//businesshub/integer-network-communitywww.integernetwork.com

We just slap the word coach next to anything. If we think we can offer value to someone,  not saying it's a bad thing to want to offer value to someone, but really truly coaching when trained properly,  what is the power of that? And why is that something that's for everyone?  Why is that something that is for a young person starting out life?Why is that for someone in the thick of parenthood? Why is it for someone  at the edge of a career change? Why is it for someone stuck in the mundane of their life?  Why is it for someone who has lost their sense of self?Let's unpack this together. www.integernetwork.com

Just a minor identity crisis.A journey. An unraveling. What happens when we bump up against a potential different truth to something we have always thought we absolutely knew to be true. Join me as I share some thoughts on how good it is to get uncomfortable. www.integernetwork.com

And then I realized that this seemingly random title was really my subconscious forcing to the surface a confession that I finally need to make to myself and something I actually just need to sit down and deal with.And that is that I don't like the fact that I am human. My humanity is not my favorite part of myself. I mean, what a ridiculous statement, but that's where I'm at.www.integernetwork.com

Join us for an honest conversation between Mother and Daughter (with occasional input from 3 month old grand daughter).

"It's that place where you're stuck and you need to pull the strings out. You need to unravel something.  It could be emotional. It could be spiritual. It could be with work. It could be with your habits. There's all these different places. And so you feel that something. Stuckness, you feel like you're just kind of like spinning your wheels and you know you need to unravel.A coach can come and help you unravel and then they're not the modalities. It's not therapeutic, it's not mentoring, discipleship. It's someone who's partnering with you to help you really unravel. "Join us as Sarah Prince shares about her own authentic unraveling and the way coaching has been a powerful support in that.

Three unravellings in the course of ten days.An unraveling in my professional world, an unraveling in the world of grief and loss, an unraveling in my identity and role as a mother.  It happens sometimes big and dramatic. Like a full on meltdown because I don't think I'm good enough for my job.It sometimes happens  in the most painful of ways, like grief over life lost. And sometimes it happens in the small ways, like your child  wanting someone who makes them feel safe that's not you. www.integernetwork.com
