Regen on Purpose is a podcast for leaders who sense that sustainability alone isn’t enough.


Hosted by Karen Gray, the podcast explores what it really takes to move from sustainability to regeneration designing and delivering systems that become healthier over time.


Drawing on three decades of experience in delivery leadership, people development, and transformation, each episode looks at why change often struggles to hold, and how leadership decisions, delivery choices, and learning environments shape long-term outcomes.


This is a space for thoughtful conversations about building what lasts for people, organisations, and the planet without hype, jargon, or quick fixes.

  • Episode 15 - Why Most Transformation Programmes Fail in Year Two
    Jun 23 2026

    Most transformation programmes look healthy in year one and fail quietly in year two. Not in the templates or the dashboards — in the conversations that stop happening around month fifteen.

    In this episode, Karen Gray diagnoses the year-two failure pattern: why the senior attention that carries a transformation through year one inevitably moves, why almost nobody designs the year-one PMO to survive without it, and what the month-fifteen silence actually sounds like inside a steering committee.

    She lays out what regenerative PMO design looks like instead — a PMO built to surface the truth without depending on senior attention, measured on the signals that predict year-two health, and designed to get lighter over time rather than heavier. And she closes with the single most effective move for anyone who recognises the silence in their own programme right now.

    Built for transformation directors, PMO heads, and senior sponsors carrying the weight of complex delivery in financial services, government, and regulated industries.

    In this episode:

    Why year one rewards the build — and why the build is not the test

    The month-fifteen silence, and why nobody in the room is lying

    The three reasons almost nobody designs for year two

    What regenerative PMO design looks like in practice

    The one move that reverses year-two failure without a restructure

  • Episode 14 - "Why This Podcast Is Changing"
    May 29 2026

    Why This Podcast Is Changing — Welcome to Season 2


    In this relaunch episode, Karen Gray introduces Regenerative Delivery — the new direction for the podcast formerly focused on regenerative business principles.

    After thirteen episodes exploring the foundations of regeneration, Season 2 takes that lens to where it matters most: the real, complex work of project delivery, PMO transformation, and AI-enabled practice inside regulated organisations.

    Karen names what regenerative delivery actually means, why AI is making most delivery faster but more extractive, and what listeners can expect from the new monthly format.

    Built for senior PMs, PMO leaders, transformation directors, and anyone carrying the weight of complex delivery in financial services, government, or regulated industries.

  • Episode 13 - WHERE IS FASHION GOING? The Future of Fashion is Being Grown.
    May 18 2026

    WHERE IS FASHION GOING? The future of fashion is being grown.



    Most of us never stop to think about what our clothes are actually made from.

    But once you realise how much of modern fashion is built from plastic, oil, and synthetic fibres… you start seeing the industry very differently.

    In this episode of Regen on Purpose, we explore:
    🍄 Mushroom leather
    🍍 Pineapple fibre fabrics
    🌿 Hemp, Tencel & regenerative cotton
    👖 Levi’s hemp denim experiments
    🧵 Plastic-free fashion innovation
    ♻️ Circular and regenerative clothing systems

    We also talk about:

    fast fashion
    textile waste
    synthetic fabrics
    overconsumption
    social media’s impact on fashion
    and why brands are starting to rethink the entire system.

    Because maybe regeneration starts with something as simple as asking:
    “What am I wearing on my skin every day?”

    If you enjoy conversations around regeneration, sustainability, conscious living, and the future of consumer products — make sure to subscribe and join the conversation.
