Why I think writing creates change.Quotes used; "Sharing our stories is a revolutionary act, and the first step towards building a world where we care for and protect one another. But the stories of Black survivors are often silenced or dismissed."

All the norms we have that we don't think about - My journey outside of Dublin and time to reflect on the last few years in Ireland in particular.

My own journey in coming out - what I have learnt from working in conservative environments and being the only girl on the course .. my 1st women's club night ... Why I need to be a Feminist for others ... Why I find a lot of the posts BS... How I have really struggled to have intimate friendships. How I now have then and what matters.

I didn't say the quote quite perfectly (sorry, please forgive me!)Alice Walker — "The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don't have any."Harry Potter quote from Dumbeldore to Harry on how Voldemort takes too much stock in the Prophecy - not Harry's mother's love"Have you any idea how much tyrants fear the people they oppress? All of them realize that, one day, amongst their many victims, there is sure to be one who rises against them and strikes back!"

A podcast that ranges from my experiences on a German exchange trip the year after the Berlin Wall fell to my research on Druids. I want you to look out for the souls who have come together from opposing backgrounds that have caused such trauma but have not compromised their identity. Why pain matters - why you have to feel it - it's not about comparison to what you know - it's about what you feel. When you feel, you heal. There must be no compromise in identity.

(This is an especially relevant dynamic for daughters) This podcast is aimed at teens as I explain in the intro and I also decided to use 'parent' as the gender-neutral term when I started talking it out! I decided that masculine and feminine energy is an overall complex adult viewpoint...There are enough complexities without this in the mix at 16 - thought if we get these dynamics right ironically they grow to create the balance I decide as being so important! Even if it is aimed at teens it's a very important podcast for parents to listen to especially if the relationship has ended due to a traumatic abusive event. I try to weave through the complexity of these relationships but show that it's very simple to actually create lasting change with a few simple insights. The quote I use is: "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.” Leonardo da Vinci.

This amazing woman had the unique experience of being the 'adult' observer while I worked with a teen who was supported by my Patreon. This is a rare glimpse into what I do from someone who started out as a client as well. It's also an insight into the flexibility which Patreon has allowed me.

An introduction to a rare interview episode I'm going to record next .... 'the fly on the wall' episode which may finally answer the question - what do I do... ? Our limitations in thinking are the reasons for the injustices in humanity - when we understand our need for boxes - we will understand how to create change. A secure individual is not in a box! PS I get 3s and 5s confused (and 'f's, 'r's and 'c's for some strange reason) - so this should be speaking about the 25th of May and for some reason the universe has determined it will go out early not after as I intended...

Patreon - intro to this book: If I wrote a book in advance to feel content, secure and happy going into Lockdown last year .. this was the book. It's the book I have shared over the year with many of my soul tribe ... it's an unusual book in that it talks more bout the conflict I have always felt between science and spiritualism - which I covered in my podcast only last week in the Religion Episode. I hope as we emerge back into the world or in some cases go through yet another spin of the Labyrinth you will find it helpful...
