Home Schooling Our Children:
With so many parents juggling life demands, work and schooling it's easy to feel the pressure.  For many parents it may be the first time they've ever had to take so much responsibility for their children's education.  While there are many challenges, they're also considerable opportunities for care givers too. 
I talk to Oli Ryan, former teacher and now senior manager for leading education company, PlanBee - www.planbee.com Oli offers some fantastic tips and ideas about how we can move forward, learn from our children, learn about ourselves and above all else support our children to the best of our ability.

The Left of Burnout podcast is produced by John Allison, a British Army veteran with 24 years of service.  Upon retirement he became health and wellbeing manager for two large London-based advertising agencies.  Five years later, in 2017, he started holistic wellbeing service Motion to Mind™ and developed the 4M Framework™ for health and happiness.  More recently he launched a groundbreaking modular program, Stress Injury Prevention Training™ (SIPT™) to provide employers with a new program to support employees in work and in life. 
Left of Burnout is a phrase coined by John Allison and is a take on the term Left of Boom or Left of Bang which was used to describe a preventative approach to the Improvised Explosive Device (IED) threat in Iraq when John served as Intelligence Officer - Combined Explosives Exploitation Cell (CEXC) Baghdad.  Stress related ill-health can be visualised as being on a continuum, from being well on the far left, to being mildly irritated, to dealing with anxiety, depression, traumatic stress injury, burnout and psychosis at the far right hand end of the continuum.  Helping people to empower themselves to keep far, far left of burnout and stay well, is the aim of the show. 

Chronic Pain & Stress:
Writer and journalist, Hannah Millington experienced chronic pain in her hands.  At one point she was told by medical professionals that there was no cure and she was given conflicting information by many health professionals.  Determined to find some answers Hannah carried out her own research leading her to deduce that the pain was linked to repressed emotions and the stress response.  In this fascinating interview Hannah shares with us a number of valuable insights including the power of hypnotherapy, the importance of expressing and not repressing emotions, the importance of education and much more.  
Hannah is a graduate of the University of the West of England.
