More Information DrNaoiseOReilly dot org. A podcast that ranges from Teen to Adult. Originally I have a Doctorate in philosophy (Psychical Oceanography). I’ve spent my whole adult life supporting Students in one form or another. I always feel they are right and this podcast aims to get under the bonnet of what is really at the root of our society challenges. How to be authentic and vulnerable in practice not just in name. How to critically reflect on big topics. Always with a suggested reading list. I do the research and join the dots in my Sigma INFJ mode so you don’t need to do all the work.

Episode 431: Moving on from Generational Pain
A podcast I put out on my subscription space at the beginning of JulyHow can we change the cycle where even those who have experienced such trauma are prepared to pass this on to 'others'? I think by talking about the pain they inflict on those close ... not those who they have been trained to de-humanise

Episode 429: The Energy Lie of the Personal Development Industry
I've been trying to find a system - find a visual for what I know inside .. to debunk the lies I see posted and sold in the world all around me - all that I can feel is just wrong - and I know doesn't fit for 20% of the population who gravitate to my door for support I know I'm on the right track when once I start talking about what I know at a soul level and I start to jar with those I'm speaking with ... it's like yes here is another alien 101 moment!

Episode 427: Achieving openness with pureness close
This podcats is only for probably 1% of the population - regardless of what system you use to study how people tick ... you get to the same place and only those who don't want to feel special will reside here ... and it's for the people who want to be truly close to this strange frame of reference you see the world by ... In time, when I feel I've really conquered the darkness I'll probably record a course on all the practices I use to stay in alignment .... For now I'm just recording the journey of discovery and being honest about what it has cost me

Episode 422: When will we accept the difference of our children?
We will never have inclusive education if we can't accept differences - we need to stop feeling there is something wrong with our children. We need to feel empowered to support the gifts our children have, not the failings we are told they do. It's what I've spent 15 years supporting families to do globally.

Episode 423: Trans Changing Room Conversation
Have you ever considered how ridiculously selfish and insecure you are? Like do you really think your body is so much better? or that any Trans person embarks on this journey so they can share a changing room with you and perve over your body? It brings up deep questions of how you relate to men? How do you relate to gay women? It's such a place of insecurity and unfortunately, success doesn't come with security.
