The importance of being you, media & Ku-ring-gai Library resources

My guest today was Shani, as ever Shani brought a wonderful depth to all the conversations we had and as a result this episode is well worth the download.

In this episode our discussions centred around the importance of being yourself when you start school, how it supports your mental health but also helps you navigate relationships in a simpler more solid way. Kym Carlson from Ku-ring-gai Youth Development Service KYDS expanded on the subject for us with an addendum to last week's interview.

Shani and I then discussed the illusion of reality television and how we are seeing what 'someone' wants us to see. I recently heard a Sabour Bradley interview and he eloquently put the case for there never being an objective documentary and reality TV show - it is always subjective...someone always has to make a decision, whether it is who to have on the show, who to interview, what to keep in and what ends up on the edit floor. 

We caught up with Angus on his first day at school - great to hear he is doing well
