It's mercury retrograde so of course, there is a tiny little blip in the audio I can't edit out!  And this episode has not been posted on Spotify?!  So I have left all the links out and let's see if it will be included now? Thanks for your understandingNaoisé(the joys of these 3 weeks spins with a planet of communication )  

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

This is a podcast in lessons on looking to biographies to find yourself. I prescribe biographies for everyone I work with regardless of age.This is also a lot of what I don’t talk about living in the gap because when I do I feel projected at ... so I thought it would be good for me to walk the talk for you all. These are the sorts of simple podcasts which feel like jumping off a cliff for me. Finding yourself in others and not wanting to compare to those so great. It's a very difficult podcast to record - to record your truth - what drives you. What values do you really care about? How you hope that by your choices you enable others to be better versions of themselves. The series of books for younger readers I couldn't remember the name of! https://littlepeoplebigdreams.com
