If you've only just discovered Headstraight, this is probably the best place to start. In this short introduction, I want to tell you a little about who I am, why I started the podcast, and what you can expect if you decide to stick around. After more than thirty-five years working alongside young people and their families, I've learned that the questions we carry around in our heads are often much more important than we realise. They shape how we see ourselves, the choices we make, and sometimes the life we believe we're capable of living. Headstraight isn't about quick fixes or complicated psychology. It's about slowing those questions down, making sense of them, and exploring them together in a way that's practical, honest and easy to relate to. You don't need to listen to the episodes in order. Just have a look through the titles and start with the one that makes you stop and think, "That's me."
