Episode 269: The Development Journey

It's taken me a decade to understand why I didn't want to replicate the Montessori method and way of leaving a legacy of wor behind. There are limitations when we are so set to leaving behind structures/methods rather than principles

Episode 267: OCD, eating disorders, role-play games and the pandemic

I'm more worried now than I have ever been about people's mental health. The transition back to the world is proving just how much we were in escapism and not secureness. We need to seriously take stock for small children of the safe virtual worlds they are happier in than real life and the controlling dangerous behaviours they are developing.

Episode 266: Unconditional and Self-Worth

We muddle worthiness, success, unconditional, needs, conditions, and expectations all the time in society What is your measure of yourself dependent on? Are you whole worthy secure in your core? Why do you take actions? - be honest Are your expectations for you or for others best? It’s funny this is number ’66’ - as it’s said to be the number of unconditional love I would argue that if you truly support people from an unconditional place they can’t even trace back what is helping them .... It’s as hidden and subtle as walking through a spiders web.... Happiness article: https://www.theatlantic.com/family/archive/2021/07/happiest-country-definition/619441/

Episode 264: My black soul journey

This is a podcast on what I have learnt since John Lewis died a year ago this week. I don't want to call it the John Lewis podcast. I sit here and debate if to make the B a capital or not? I think I won't because it's my soul. I have written more of what this means for me on my Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/posts/47490785
