Leigh has been there and done that - she has seen herself as highly successful online but been unemployed and on benefits in real life. Her advice is - "When someone who games, talks to someone who doesn't game, you may as well be talking Japanese because if you don't know the lingo, then a lot of miscommunication can happen....You don't have to like gaming, but if you like or love the person who is gaming, then understanding what they are saying does help :-)

We have all these pictures about how to be the perfect parent and they can all come to a rather messy, puss filled head when constrained by lockdown and restrictions in our physical space. Yet how we approach it can have a massive impact on outcomes. What if it is a wonderful opportunity to listen to each other and to honour what each person in the home is feeling? Join me by to three amazing guests Rachel Mascord, Carmin Hall, Vanessa McHardy share their powerful lived experiences.

We can see children as too small to know any better, or we can see them as equals who have much to offer us by reflection. Ryan Adams shares with great tenderness how his behaviour could have been described as 'rambunctious' and perhaps 'difficult' but to him, he was trying to work out who he was and trying to build his own boundaries.

​Now, as a parent himself, he offers some wise reflections for us, not just as parents, but as a community who parent the many children and young adults in our community.

Are you a professional who has lost their job, working from home, concerned about the constant changes in legislation and business advice and found their sense of self spinning like a top? My guests today are three women who offer a very sensitive perspective of finding the new opportunities in amongst the unsettlement of Covid-19 Lockdown. They have an 'I will do whatever it takes' attitude, but that does not mean they did not have to dig deep and remember their foundations and values in order to live that without adding to their stress. 

Lockdown can be seen in two ways - our worst nightmare, or an opportunity to re-evaluate, make changes, set new foundations and then take that back out into the world again. Are you ready to consider if the lens through which you have viewed your life to date are the lens that best reflect your true self? Gabrielle Caplice and Annette Baker join Lucy Dahill for another in-depth discussion on ease, unease and disease - life after lockdown.

Truth and honesty are foundational tenets of most school and workplace mission statements, but I would ask, how can we consider what the truth is if we don't first know how to be honest with ourselves or others? Gabrielle Caplice, Annette Baker and Lucy Dahill unravel why we may not want to be honest but why it is a matter of future health and wellbeing.
This is the last post for the year - see you in 2019 - don't forget to listen back to some of the other 2018 shows and share away!
