All I wish career guidance considered while helping people to pick a career - it's time to change our focus from the hamster wheel to a lifestyle choice
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).

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:

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

What are white supremacists really trying to kill with their bombs?
We need to be selfish at a certain stage of our life and it would be better if we felt special - felt we had something to add to the world around us - achieved for ourselves so we can fully present for good relationships beyond our teen years...
How do we get to a place where we believe in something so much that we don't need revenge?

We are all different - stop trying to emulate people who aren't like you! You don't need to be someone else to have a good daily routine and achieve goals and a good healthy lifestyle!
A big journey of why I don't feel a belonging and don't wish to - I still work towards us having a world I would wish to belong in ... one where I can be received all the time
The book that has reminded me of who I was at 7 and not who everyone thinks I was ... not all the pain I've taken through all those I've worked with ...
