Episode notes

Experiencing a challenging education at a young age and being left to navigate it independently led to personal growth and a realization of the importance of not projecting specific future expectations onto children. The speaker's own positive experience with education as a child, guided by parental support without imposing predetermined future plans, highlights the value of allowing children to explore and shape their own paths.

We invited Nora Bateson back on the show for another sensemaking conversation. Nora Bateson is an award-winning filmmaker, writer, educator, and the President of the International Bateson Institute.

We wanted to hear her views on the current disintegration of societal systems, and how to navigate the chaos of the world.

We talk about how to raise and educate children for the uncertain future, and how to find the potential for healing and transformation in these difficult times. She also shares some thought provoking quotes from her father Gregory Bateson’s writings.
