Teen Purple Psychology

After 8 years of podcasting, it is time for a show aimed at teens (this is from the ages of 11 right through your twenties!) We live in an increasingly complex world - I want to provide a snapshot of all the comfort, advice, help, support and sense of 'being seen' that I provide in all my personal mentoring work. Every teen leaving a session declares - "she just gets me" Be warned - parents are welcome to this podcast but the teen is always right! I started my school in 2009 with this idea “Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, Nothing is going to get better. It's not.” ― Dr. Seuss, The Lorax The Lorax spoke for the trees and I have always spoken for the students. Naoisé

    The spectres of society that feed on teens for self-gain

    The world has worked out how to manipulate Teens (and their parents) by the sheer fact that they are driven by outward influence - everyone is feeding off this need for their financial gain. From education to social media to big corporations and pop stars.

    Critical Thinking Unversity League Tables

    Critical Thinking Unversity League Tables All of the skill universities are meant to be teaching students on full display on their front lawns and they call in politicians and law enforcement rather than celebrating their students. It might be time to use your own critical thinking to decide what league tables are really based on? Student celebration, initiative, political change and welfare are not top priorities.

    Kindness is not a disease

    Kindness is not a disease - you just don't expect or know how to play the games of insecure unkind people This book is based on the best fictional character I've ever read to bring together my own school experiences of bullying, isolation and the depths of where this can take you too. I was lucky I had the contrast of home to not go to the depths of self-harm or suicidal thoughts.

    How we use smartphones determines our mental well-being

    Forget blanket statements on technology being 'bad' for us ... it's how we use the tool for our well-being which determines our mental health. We can't assume that if you have a smartphone you have anxiety, depression and concentration challenges. Use pick-up data, notifications settings, scheduled downtime and nighttime mode to change your habits. Change your practices for good well-being, engagement and a learning tool - and then change your parents!

    Think time to perform efficiently

    Think time to perform efficiently One of the ways we perform more effectively and efficiently is to press pause. To allow ourselves to passively think about what we desire to create - to do - to answer. To do tasks in our mind and body before we ever sit down to do them! Hence we think best while we move, while we experience in a different way - not at a computer screen!

  • Have you ever considered why you create? Do create for reaction or in reaction. Must you create from darkness or can you be joyful in the process of creating for transformation in humanity? Does creation bring change just through the process of being created? Big questions I have been working my way through in my own personal journey which I have now channelled into a new Patreon Club for Authentic Expression Creators.
