Through real conversations and expert advice, the Let’s Check In Podcast shares stories and strategies of real people who have paved the way forward through uncertainty.
Think of a time you faced uncertainty - Oh, hi, being human.
Chances are, it evoked some pretty wild feelings that didn’t always feel so great (insert the COVID pandemic era, transitioning from study to workplace, those new job nerves, moving cities, finding your purpose, the impact of AI on job security, the first-time baby roller-coaster, climate anxiety, a loved one diagnosed with a life threatening illness). You know what I’m talking about.
If there’s any certainty in life, it’s that uncertainty is always going to be there.
Let’s be real, these transition points don’t always feel so smooth sailing. And chances are, it’s probably not super rosy for those in your presence as you navigated the sea of change either.
Through real conversations and expert advice, the Let’s Check In Podcast shares stories and strategies of real people who have paved the way forward through uncertainty, despite feeling fearful and challenged.
We talk about the things that you didn’t learn at school, that you wish someone had prepared you for.
Best case you’ll learn something, worst case you’ll learn something.

Our Values
At every stage of our lives, things move and shift around.
We value the Connectedness that communities and relationships can create.
We believe in prioritising Wellbeing.
We value the role that Learning and Curiosity plays in a growth mindset.
We believe that prioritising and living out these values in our podcast conversations will help make the world a better place.
Adulting can at times be tough.
In order to be adaptable and balanced, we are asked to create clarity from what can at times feel pretty messy.
As we travel further through adulthood, we begin to realise that change and uncertainty never stops in life. At times, it can feel pretty bumpy, confronting and uncomfortable.
Through real conversations and expert advice, the Let’s Check In Podcast sets out to reconnect the village, sharing strategies and insights to deal with the changes in life that we see, and, don’t see coming.
Our five pillars
The Let’s Check In Podcast focuses on strength-based approaches across the five key social and emotional areas:
Meet the host
I’m your host Suzie McErvale and I come from a long line (over 60 years in fact) of strong, determined, kind-hearted women who have dedicated their lives to future generations. As educators they were anchors in their communities providing key life skills to empower young people.
Working over a decade in Education, I began to notice patterns in the system. It became clear to me, that as our society continues to rapidly change social and technological gears, our students are facing increasing levels of fear and anxiety as they enter the changing world around them.
Overwhelming feelings of stress, anxiety and powerlessness is no fun way to enter, let alone live in adulthood. As I started to share this message, I was met with more and more adults who expressed a similar, challenging relationship with change and uncertainty. At this point I realised, that in order to better connect and support our kids and young people in an authentic way, we adults need to build our own skills around uncertainty.
Melbourne was barely out of the pandemic cloud in 2022 when I dusted off my passport, put my big girl pants on and boarded a plane to speak with thought leaders in education, law, environment, politics, climate tech, psychology, pharmaceuticals, international trade and food and in Sweden, Italy and Denmark and then Argentina in 2023.
Fast-forward to now, I’m following my family blueprint and creating the Let’s Check In Podcast, to help connect us all on the topic of change and uncertainty.
So, let’s check in and hear what the experts each have to say.
