I don't do plug podcats so when I say the support means a lot to me - I mean it - but the connections and the feedback are what matters to me as someone on the fringes of everywhere. I made a choice not to have an academic university 'home' to belong to.

Identity and labels are not simple for me - I can't just pick them to fit in .. this is why! But this is not about me being right - it's about you making your own choices that are for the right motivations and your needs.

Why do we have such an obsession with status? Who decides what is adding to our position in society? Have they different monarchs decided this or did the court that surrounds them? How can we change the patterns of humanity that we are moving towards? As we are obsessed with keeping middle class.

**there was a mistake in one of the track links so I had to repost the episode (sorry)I don't want to go back and edit this as the energy is there for what I want to talk about and I don't talk enough about the demon of white money ... and when I say Black people are doing well, thriving it's all relative and a totally uneven world. I'm aware of that but I want to keep the energy of the passion in what I do talk about and not overlook my mistakes or the assumptions you might think I make that I don't in fact - I just feel there is a greater richness in the world than white money.

There is a drumbeat building around a generation not being successful because they didn't go to school for the pandemic.

What happens if we just look at the end results of your actions? Why are you able to justify your actions?

The rollercoaster I have been charting with the podcast because I'm not prepared to be anti-vax or anti-abortion or racist while speaking about humanity.

The geek in me loves that a podcast on women's rights is 13 minutes- the 13 moons of our cycle! Perfection while talking about the balancing of conversations on abortion...

Why we need to have compassion for those who behave badly. There is a tiny glip in the recording because someone texted me and the recording stopped briefly! But the rest was so much in flow I've just left it! What is missing in the audio;*Split Personalities or Borderline Personalities or what I call Duality (a positive outlook) - means that we don't have a strong sense of self - of who we are. We are afraid to stay as that person so we borrow roles and identities from those around us and try to become those people. In every way - become a character of a person. You can see the pedestal placement and displacement as a child would lead you to think - what do I need to be for you to reward me?

Why we need to change to have transformation as a society* I meant 319b obviously ... this is the problem with being on a context rollercoaster here and on my Patreon.

Our obsession with measuring in terms of education - what I'm going to endeavour to achieve in this podcast series. How I feel the Transgender Journey is the penultimate development journey.

If you want to create something different - if you want the world to stop measuring - you need to be in the world differently and ironically I'm going to talk about the only part of a book I don't agree with .. participation... It's ok to not belong in the room. Two books I want to recommend you readOne I have shared in the past:Belonging: From Fear to Freedom on the Path to True Communityby Angel Kyodo Williamshttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/55384181-belongingThe one I speak about in this podcast:Teaching to Transgress: Education as the Practice of FreedomBell Hookshttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/27091.Teaching_to_Transgress?ac=1&from_search=true&qid=L56PmXwplB&rank=4

Wow, this has been the most difficult podcast to record for quite some time ... I don't know what I have said that is so difficult but someone doesn't want it said out loud!

Why I dislike labels - the legacy left behind after the reports and the assumptions. The judgements that are thrown out by people who don't have your processing challenges. Who have no idea how your brain works or how to actually support you.We only ever focus on what we can't do. But increasingly the personality content online is inaccurate and doesn't represent Myers-Briggs's work. But the limitations we often apply and our conditioning.

How we become something new because of the assumptions and expectations of education.

I hate labels but I want you to find this so I'll use the well known markers. How this makes you feel. How I can go from whole to feeling useless after 5 days. How the stored trauma in my body will help me meet my students better.

A very reflective podcast since it's 13 years yesterday since I got the keys to my school. Thinking about how I don't need the person opposite to be me.
