Learning how to embrace change, reclaim agency, and build a future on your own terms.
In this episode of thinkfuture, host Chris Kalaboukis talks with Jillian Reilly, founder of Antacara, about how to navigate profound change in uncertain times and why reclaiming your personal agency is the most important skill of the 21st century.
Jillian believes that fear of change keeps most of us trapped in outdated roles and expectations. But by building our “change muscle” through small, intentional choices, we can prepare ourselves for life’s bigger transitions.
We discuss:
Why most people double down on the familiar—even when it no longer works
How to develop “change readiness” and adapt with confidence
The importance of reclaiming personal agency instead of outsourcing your choices
Navigating social pressure when making unconventional life decisions
Why linear, 20th-century models of success are holding us back
Jillian’s hopeful vision of 2035: portfolio careers, free agency, and lives built on balance, not sacrifice
This episode is both practical and inspiring—a roadmap for anyone feeling stuck, afraid of change, or unsure how to shape their next chapter. Jillian’s work helps people unlock their ability to evolve, create their own path, and thrive in a rapidly changing world.
If you’re interested in personal growth, adaptability, the future of work, career reinvention, or learning how to navigate change intentionally, this conversation is for you.
