    Hannah Beach | The Importance of True Play in Children’s Development

    Hannah Beach explains why true play and “void moments” are essential for healthy child development. She describes void moments as unstructured, unstimulated time where children are not directed, entertained, or managed, and shows how these moments allow children to process experience, develop identity, regulate emotions, and build resilience. Hannah is an award-winning educator, author, and emotional health consultant with more than 25 years of experience developing play-based and relationship-centered programs for children, families, and schools. She is co-author of Reclaiming Our Students and works internationally with educators, school systems, and organizations to support children’s emotional well-being through play, attachment, and community. 🗓️ Recorded December 15, 2025. 📍 Tarragona, Spain 🔗  Relevant links https://hannahbeach.cahttps://www.instagram.com/hannahbeacheduhttps://www.facebook.com/hannahbeachedu https://www.youtube.com/@hannahbeachedu https://x.com/HannahBeachEDUhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/hannah-beach-eduSend a message Support the show SUPPORT & CONNECT Podcast website: https://www.cecilieconrad.com/self-directed Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theconrad.family Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theconradfamily

    Jeppe Trolle Linnet | Men, Vulnerability, and Masculinity in Transition

    Anthropologist Jeppe Trolle Linnet explains how men’s fear of vulnerability is shaped by dominance, shame, and competition, drawing on years of work with men’s groups and recent field research in Greenland. He describes why men struggle to share pain, how loneliness and divorce intensify isolation, and how fatherhood, emotional listening, and community spaces offer alternative models of masculinity grounded in trust rather than control. 🗓️ Recorded December 8, 2025. 📍 Tarragona, Spain 🔗  Relevant links https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeppelinnetJeppes personal Facebook profile: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100067588879414 🔗  DareGender https://www.daregender.dk/ https://www.facebook.com/DareGender https://www.instagram.com/daregender/ https://x.com/daregender https://www.linkedin.com/company/daregender/ Send a message Support the show SUPPORT & CONNECT Podcast website: https://www.cecilieconrad.com/self-directed Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theconrad.family Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theconradfamily

    Victoria Lenormand | From Detective To Unschooling Advocate

    Ex-detective turned homeschooler Victoria Lenormand describes leaving a policing career as it shifted from service to force and recognizing the same pattern in her son’s early schooling. In this conversation, she explains how grading, labels, and constant assessment eroded confidence, and how home education replaced pressure with agency, learning by doing, and community built through shared interests rather than age-based classrooms. 🗓️ Recorded December 8, 2025. 📍 Tarragona, Spain 🔗  Relevant links https://geminidirections.co.uk/https://www.linkedin.com/in/victoria-lenormand-2129227b/https://www.instagram.com/geminidirections.co.uk/https://www.facebook.com/geminidirectionshttps://amzn.eu/d/dZz1BqHSend a message Support the show SUPPORT & CONNECT Podcast website: https://www.cecilieconrad.com/self-directed Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theconrad.family Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theconradfamily
