Episode 2 — The Work of Being Human with Patricia Sotomayor

Episode 5- The Impermanent Human Talks- There is no change without loss with Eric Blais

In this episode of The Impermanent Human Talks, I’m joined by Eric, a grief coach, author and innovation consultant whose personal experiences of profound loss transformed the direction of his life and work. Together, we explore grief not only as a deeply human experience, but also as an often-overlooked part of change, transition, and innovation — especially within organisations. We speak about communication, resistance to change, the losses that accompany transformation, and the importance of creating space for people to navigate uncertainty. A thoughtful conversation about impermanence, adaptation, and the reality that every change asks us to let something go. Eric Leo Blais is a grief coach, innovation consultant, and strategic foresight practitioner whose work explores the intersection of loss, change, and human resilience. Following the deaths of his partner and mother within 11 months, Eric shifted his work toward supporting people and organisations in navigating grief, transition, and transformation. His book Surviving Grief offers a sincere and heartfelt guide from his own journey through loss.  You can learn more about him and his work at  www.ericleoblais.com [http://www.ericleoblais.com/]

Episode 1 — Why The Impermanent Human

In this first episode of The Impermanent Human Talks, I share the personal story that led me into exploring impermanence. When a loved one was diagnosed with cancer, what began as a search for medical answers slowly opened a much deeper reflection on mortality, attachment, grief, and what it means to truly live. This episode introduces the journey behind the podcast and the questions that continue to shape my work and life. “Thanks to impermanence, everything is possible.” — Thich Nhat Hanh
