    Joy is in her sixties, she has three children and seven grandchildren, three of which she has raised herself as a single grandparent. One of Joy's children is a sex worker and, alongside her choice of industry, her parenting capacity has been compromised in numerous ways.

    Christian McNeill: 'Life is a thousand times more enjoyable without addiction'

    Christian McNeill has been a coach and Three Principles Practitioner since 2012. Prior to that she was a lawyer, first as an advocate and later a tribunal judge. During her 20s she encountered some significant personal challenges, including an alcohol issue. And through this experience she became very interested in how the mind works. In 2010 she stumbled across a radically different understanding of human wellbeing called The Three Principles - she was immediately struck by the outstanding outcomes that this understanding could produce. As she says on her website, the results, in every area of human endeavour and human experience, dwarfed everything else she had come across in two decades of study. She said that being a single parent felt overwhelming but she knew her children have access to unlimited resources of resilience within them. Christian starts by guiding us to listen to ourselves first and that 'life is a thousand times more enjoyable without addiction'. In 2019 Christian and Barbara Sarah Smith collaborated to write a book: Addiction: One Cause, One Solution about addiction recovery from a 3 Principles approach.

    Nicola Morgan: author of Blame My Brain The Amazing Teenage Brain

    Nicola Morgan is an international speaker and bestselling author of both fiction and non-fiction for teens. The book for which she is most well-known is Blame My Brain, The Amazing Teenage Brain. She's known as 'The Teenage Brain Woman'. Together, we chat about her fascination with the teen brain and her desire to share this information as widely as possible. Her skill is sharing this neuroscience in a way which appeals to teenagers, parents, teachers and educators alike. We also chat about the revised edition, which is about to be released in mid-February 2023, and includes an additional chapter on social media and its impact on the teen brain. She says: "if we understand how our brain works, then we can start to make it work better instead of beating ourselves up about why it isn't working." Nicola can be found on www.nicolamorgan.com and on Twitter @nicolamorgan
