Kick off episode 1

In this opening episode of Systems Change Collective, host Kristiana Stoyanova shares the personal journey that brought her to systems thinking—from student activism and teaching in segregated schools to politics, policymaking, and children's rights work.

She reflects on what the polycrisis reveals about our interconnected struggles, why meaningful change must come from within systems—not against them—and why weaving bold visions with lived experience is at the heart of transformation.

Tune in for an honest, grounded, and hopeful invitation to reimagine what’s possible—and to become part of the collective shift toward a just, regenerative, and thriving world.
