    Purple Psychology

    Step out of black and white thinking. Shortlisted in top 10 for the People's Choice Podcast Awards 2017 in Education (maybe I should try entering an award again - I haven't since). I'm unboxable. A podcast that ranges from Children to Adults. Personality to Psychology. Education to Development. Philosophy to a modern critique of society and our politics. Self-help to Spiritualism. Vulnerability & creativity. Racism & Society Culture I started out caring about success - now I care about secureness. And I am to do this in a way that sits with my own authentic self and spiritual nature. I don't aim to give answers - I aim to give you permission to arrive at your own. Critical thinking possible for everyone regardless of education status. Writing - on .patreon dot com/purplepsychology become a supporter of this podcast - more information (drnaoiseoreilly dot org).

    Episode 397: the Truama of 'Posh' school

    Episode 397: the Truama of 'Posh' school

    Reading this book reminded me of the hell of private - posh school ... what should have just been an opportunity - why wasn't it? and why does dedication need to be private for there to be opportunity? 

    Book this podcast is inspired by:

    Episode 396: Finding Your Tribe

    Episode 396: Finding Your Tribe

    Finding your tribe, not having friends at school, the different meanings of friends to different people, growing and changing groups - just keep experiencing and don't search for somewhere to belong outside yourself! 

    Quote:

    "Life can only be understood backwards, but it must be lived forwards." -  Søren Kierkegaard 

    Inspiration: If I mention the word belonging this book should be included! It's an audiobook too

    A journey I have been on again how to show up in the world as me and not crumble 

    How energetic responsibility is such a big deal to me - this is why I created this podcast space in a way .. not all of my being can be simply understood in INFJness 

    What does authentic showing up look like? is it loud? or is it energetic
