The history (for people like me who had to go learn it) What I love ... the purpose through this story (*And I've not used the hashtag) https://youtu.be/oiLltM1tJ9M

So almost a year later - what do I hope for now? That privileged countries will understand the implications of their actions.

How to deal with noise while trapped at home for COVID. It's about resetting the space, body and mind. *because I'm recording this at nearly 11pm to escape next doors dog barking - I mix up playlists and podcasts (you know what I mean)

What is COVID fatigue? Why are people pleasers suffering more? What do we need to change at this stage?

What have I learnt in 12 years? What are the shifts for me? From school to home to humanity.

Why didn't I name or hashtag Amanda Gorman in my last podcast?

My hope for the future from this week. Being able to always be the person you were at 22.

Are some personalities more racist? Are there aspects of our personality which make us racist - how do I predict non-racism?

I have a strange wish for 2021 that I will transition to working with individuals without need of payment. This is hopefully the first step towards this aim! That and my bigger aim to have literacy and intelligence no longer twined. Thank you https://www.patreon.com/user?u=48642261

I use two quotes form Toni Morrison's Beloved; “That anybody white could take your whole self for anything that came to mind. Not just work, kill, or maim you, but dirty you. Dirty you so bad you couldn’t like yourself anymore. Dirty you so bad you forgot who you were and couldn’t think it up.!" “His first earned purchase made him glow, never mind the turnips were withered dry. That was when he de...

I've played spot the racism in Agatha Christie for Christmas. How is this related to the horrible posts lacking understanding or compassion for a Black man who lost his life in Ireland on the 30th December?

My 100th Podcast recorded since lockdown - A very personal podcast about my writing mind spaces and how they have developed since I first started writing. How I now have this 'no-man land' space (odd nickname!) but also the 'experience space' I go into to create journeys for others. Book quoted: Imagine: How Creativity Works by Jonah Lehrer

When competition is helpful to get over perfectionism. But is a hindrance in creativity and especially group collaborations.

How has 2020 been a good year? Yes, you heard me right....

Why I admire John Lewis and Dr Jane Goodall so much. The idea of being 'in this world but not of it' as spoken about John Lewis. Reading others, questioning your work but not yourself and your true Core. Working with others to reach a place of true equality and support. the cloak of compromise we vail our Core with. John Lewis quote used: “You are a light. You are the light. Never let anyone—any p...

Anxiety is an externally created process. It's one of the easiest ways for us to see our differences and our different needs. Anxiety is created by not being met by others as we are.

I have recorded the intro to this podcast 3 times as I have messed up 3 times in new ever-increasing ways! I used the word 'minority' originally which is accurate in an Irish context. The challenge with our own frame of reference. Then I made it worse. And now I don't know what to call it. Why the pain as a white person not being able to read and write in school does not have the same generational...

Why we create moody, uncooperative and secret teens. How parents and older people can embrace the joy. the discovery and not contain it. As an adult are you still hanging on to the baggage you grew up with? The inability to be different from your family?

The equal and opposite reaction to growth. Why you need to have pride in what it has taken for the reaction of the red mass. How those people are trapped in those red squares and you are not. The equal and opposite reaction that has taken place in every sense. Where this week has taken me back to personally. My own empathetic pain.

Why we need the elder tress to protect the young saplings and encourage their growth to their true possibility.

As we enter the second lockdown in Europe and others have not been so fortunate to have a break between waves - what has the pandemic thought us about our society and how we need to live differently?
