Leaving No Stone Unturned

Joanne Lockwood speaks with Arnaud Saint-Paul about what it means to “leave no stone unturned” in understanding our lives: noticing repeating patterns, stepping off autopilot, and making conscious choices that realign us with who we are. Arnaud outlines a framework he has developed over decades to help people interpret everyday events as signals that reveal underlying beliefs, and he shares how small, consistent decisions can compound into lasting change.

The conversation weaves between personal and societal scales. Joanne reflects on the fear that comes with disrupting momentum and expectations, and shares her own experience of gender transition as a radical reorientation toward authenticity. Together they discuss how conscious choice often requires redefining identity, letting go of victimhood, and taking responsibility for one’s reactions and next steps.

They also explore implications for workplaces and society, including lessons from pandemic-era remote work and the tension between trust and control in leadership cultures. The episode touches on inclusion, backlash to change, and wider shifts around equality, sustainability, and generational change.

Joanne adds practical examples of habit change—improving health, stopping drinking, and building fitness through micro-choices—illustrating the episode’s central theme: change doesn’t have to be dramatic to be transformative, but it does require intention and follow-through.
