Throughly enjoyed listening to this podcast with Sylvester Stallone. Might surprise some but Rocky are some of my fave movies. So much nostalgia. He has had such an interesting life. I really enjoyed his Netflix series & now looking forward to his autobiography- podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/o...

A few years ago we recorded our thinking space- here is a video from that of us talking about whether trauma informed is just about being sweet and nice? In our new book this is 1 /40 questions we explore & we go into a lot more detail & other layers than in this clip. m.youtube.com/watch?v=vFR1...

A day with a lovely multidisciplinary group hosted by adoption plus focusing on our own emotional immune systems and anchoring. Especially in the context where we are doing a lot of emotional heavy lifting and there’s a lot of drag and heaviness in the collective nervous system

I’ve been reflecting on this fabric patchwork I made a few years ago- a visual and tangible reminder of some of the people, values, experiences, hopes and influences that have shaped me. Some of my roots, my North Star, my anchors and my compass.
