Two Homes Podcast
with Sarah Rhodes
Two Homes, the podcast where we explore the relationship between our inner world and the planet we live on. Because sustainability that isn’t embodied doesn’t last – and wellbeing that stays surface-level doesn’t change anything. This podcast is an invitation to look deeper. To understand how our nervous systems, beliefs, and patterns shape the systems we’re trying to reform – and how real change starts closer to home than we think.

Two Homes, the podcast where we explore the relationship between our inner world and the planet we live on. Because sustainability that isn’t embodied doesn’t last – and wellbeing that stays surface-level doesn’t change anything. This podcast is an invitation to look deeper. To understand how our nervous systems, beliefs, and patterns shape the systems we’re trying to reform – and how real change starts closer to home than we think.
This episode is something a little different. What you're about to hear is a recording of a live webinar hosted by Boomerang Labs Australia, featuring a real-world case study of how sustainability gets embedded inside an organisation.
Sarah worked with Sydney Festival for around 14 months in 2023 and 2024, and this webinar brought her back together with Rosa Coyle-Hayward from the Sydney Festival sustainability working group to look at what's still in motion two years on. What seeds took root. What the working group has built.
She shared what it actually takes, without glamorising it, to turn a sustainability action plan from a document into a living practice. From the reticular activating system and why people don't engage with sustainability initiatives, to the mini green spotlight, cross-departmental working groups, the psychology of free things, and why sometimes the best strategy is to ease something in slowly rather than push it through fast, this is sustainability leadership from the inside out. Exactly what Two Homes is about.
Two Homes is for leaders who know that lasting performance, for people and planet, starts from the inside out. Two homes: the one we inhabit within, and the one we all share.
Intro and outro music: Brooks, Kai Engel
