  • Wellness Without Barriers

    Wellness Without Barriers
    Oct 8 2026
    In this inspiring episode of The Inclusion Bites Podcast, Joanne Lockwood invites Gemma Davies to share her own lived experience with chronic illness and disability, challenging the boundaries of traditional wellness and accessibility. Their discussion reveals the reality of navigating a world where wellness support often overlooks those with fluctuating or invisible conditions. Joanne probes the gap between physical treatment and holistic support, exposing the ways society and health systems sometimes fall short for those living with disabilities. The conversation interrogates not only gaps in the NHS, but also social attitudes, the stigma of “not looking sick,” and the pressing need for more joined-up, person-centred care. Gemma, founder of Wellness Without Barriers, is driven by her own sudden health transformation after a functional neurological disorder left her with long-term symptoms and profound life changes. She helps people with chronic illness and disability access gentle, realistic, and inclusive wellbeing support. Gemma’s mission is to turn her hard-won experience into tangible connection and advice for others who find themselves negotiating the often bewildering healthcare and social support landscapes. She collaborates with organisations such as Ablepreneurs and FND Friends, advocates for better signposting and support, and remains deeply committed to ensuring no one faces such challenges alone. The episode moves beyond diagnosis and disability legislation, tackling social and attitudinal barriers, the importance of self-advocacy, and the value of recognising fluctuating conditions. Joanne and Gemma explore practical adjustments, such as energy management, and reflect on the difficult process of acceptance, self-care, and giving permission to grieve and seek community. Their exchange is filled with warmth, honesty, and practical wisdom for anyone affected by chronic health issues or supporting someone who is.

  • Clarity Within Complexity

    Clarity Within Complexity
    Oct 1 2026
    In this thought-provoking episode of The Inclusion Bites Podcast, Joanne Lockwood explores the complex interplay between clarity and complexity with Simon Mont. The conversation delves into how individuals and organisations navigate competing perspectives, particularly in the context of diversity, equity, and inclusion. Both reflect on how tensions arise when different lenses—be they race, gender, power dynamics or psychological approaches—are used to interpret the same scenario. Simon introduces the idea that real progress comes from holding space for multiple viewpoints and discerning which lens will be most constructive in a given moment. Together, Joanne and Simon discuss how the need for belonging, individual and collective power, and the search for authenticity influence how people show up at work and in wider society. Simon is a lawyer, strategist, facilitator, and mystic with a deep commitment to helping mission-driven organisations align their values, vision, and impact. His special talent lies in balancing the intricacies of organisational life while staying focused on the essentials—enabling people to thrive and contribute meaningfully. Simon draws on a wealth of experience in social justice, organisational development, and systems thinking, bringing a nuanced understanding to the challenges faced by both leaders and teams. Grounded in his own journey, he brings candour, philosophical insight, and psychological depth to conversations about transformation and inclusive cultures. Joanne and Simon examine how individuals can become trapped in communities or ideologies that do not truly serve them, leading to the adoption of 'masks' or identities that mask their core selves. They highlight the courage it takes to step into the unknown, shed limiting beliefs, and pursue a deeper sense of belonging and purpose. The discussion touches on practical tools for navigating polarised perspectives, the subtlety of organisational power, and the importance of leader self-awareness when shaping culture and facilitating change.

  • Disarming Through Empathy

    Disarming Through Empathy
    Sep 24 2026
    In this episode of The Inclusion Bites Podcast, Joanne Lockwood is joined by Jo Berry for an open-hearted exploration of empathy’s transformative power in the aftermath of terrorism and conflict. Joanne reflects on how Jo’s perspective fundamentally shifted her approach to difficult conversations, inspiring deeper self-reflection and compassion. The conversation courageously confronts the complexities of trauma, othering, and the human capacity for healing, with both delving into how empathy can disarm division, build trust, and open the door to honest dialogue even in the most polarised settings. Together, they examine contemporary issues around exclusion, political rhetoric, and toxic masculinity, with practical discussion on how language, media, and leadership fuel either polarisation or peacebuilding. Jo Berry is an international speaker and dialogue facilitator whose life was irrevocably changed at age 27 when her father, a Conservative MP, was killed in the IRA bombing at the Grand Hotel, Brighton. Driven by a silent pledge for understanding rather than retaliation, Jo devoted her life to reconciliation and transformative dialogue. Over the past 26 years, she has fostered unlikely conversations—including with the man responsible for her father’s death—to model restorative justice and authentic healing. Through her charity, Building Bridges for Peace, and her extensive work in schools, corporates, and peacebuilding contexts, Jo helps individuals and organisations address conflict with courage, self-awareness, and humanity. Joanne and Jo unpack the dangers of dehumanisation, unravelling how political leaders, the media, and online influencers shape divisive narratives. The conversation also highlights the emotional skill and support required to foster compassion and accountability across divides—whether addressing generational trauma, toxic online cultures, or societal resource-guarding. Jo’s real-life experiences and practical insights offer a compelling case for empathy-led change.
