What should a good relationship be like? My simple tells in a complex world ...My favourite book about relationships between women. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/42442934-queen-of-coin-and-whispers?ac=1&from_search=true&qid=AfKgfFKPHH&rank=1Quote used:"If I accept the fact that my relationships are here to make me conscious instead of happy, then my relationships become a wonderful self-mastery tool that keeps realigning me with my higher purpose. " Pretty sure this is from A New Earth - Eckhart Tolle.My teen book:https://www.patreon.com/user?u=48642261&filters[tag]=WTFConscious relationship Article:https://iheartintelligence.com/conscious-relationships/?fb=iisMary Haskell - principle of a school in Boston When the mist overwhelms the “I” in me, I take two or three letters out of the little box and reread them. They remind me of my true self. They make me overlook all that is not high and beautiful in life. Each and every one of us, dear Mary, must have a resting place somewhere. The resting place of my soul is a beautiful grove where my knowledge of you lives.https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/104855.Beloved_Prophet?ac=1&from_search=true&qid=vTR14ORAEJ&rank=1May Elias Ziadeh was a Lebanese-Palestinian poet,"If you happen to like anything in it, then your approval will turn it into a graceful reality, if not, then it will revert in its entirety to mist"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1678307.Love_Letters?ac=1&from_search=true&qid=bkwxB0RqUQ&rank=2

A very reflective podcast since it's 13 years yesterday since I got the keys to my school. Thinking about how I don't need the person opposite to be me. To even shut down aspects of myself to be less reactive in order to be of more help to others. Feeling my way through why my own report at 16 wasn't very helpful to me.

The disconnect we now have between instant gratification - instant response and the natural course of development and how long change creates.For years I have done a task with students to compare Rosa Parks and Dr Martin Luther King Jr.Both in terms of difference of personality to both create an impact as the best of themselves but also the length of time change takes. References:https://www.history.com/topics/black-history/montgomery-bus-boycotthttps://www.npr.org/2010/01/18/122701268/i-have-a-dream-speech-in-its-entirety?t=1642587267965Because I didn't have notes I forgot to talk about this article on how long it took for MLK Day to be acknowledged in all States and under the name of what it represents.

My main task - what it is most said to me at the end of a teen session - or any session really regardless of age “I feel seen" - “I feel you get me"Being seen - ironically it’s only when we feel seen that we bring the best of us to a group or a collective.So why is this generation living in turmoil? Not feeling enough? Books I mention:https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/50622390-just-as-i-am?ac=1&from_search=true&qid=veFTMmvYwg&rank=4https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13622279-across-that-bridge?ac=1&from_search=true&qid=Z88mYMRKSe&rank=1Article on John Lewis school visit:https://www.ajc.com/gdpr.html?outputType=ampAs usual, I forgot to mention my Patreon.

Introduction to season 7 of the podcast - why did I pick to focus on teens for this series? Why is the world harder to grow up in right now? That's going to be the focus of this series.Bad patterns don't just continue - they are about the choices people feel they can make. What they deserve. The simplest way for teens to change is to ask for help - but they learn at home if this is too shameful or not. Book mentioned:Free lunch Rex Oglehttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/43726584
