Description

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).

How comparison crushes usThe most destructive habit that holds us back and that we can land ourselves in at any stage of our development.. no one is immune ... even me! 
Forget blanket statements on technology being 'bad' for us ... it's how we use the tool for our well-being which determines our mental health. We can't assume that if you have a smartphone you have anxiety, depression and concentration challenges. Use pick-up data, notifications settings, scheduled downtime and nighttime mode to change your habits. Change your practices for good well-being, engagement and a learning tool - and then change your parents! 
I love it when I'm proven right ... even if i need to wait a decade for the research to prove my innate knowing on how best to create a secure society!

Dissecting the Happiness Index - the qualities humans seem to need for happiness are pretty disturbing and unsustainable as a society.  
Ditching Psychology Speak - what is narcissism? Why do we do so many books in school with narcissistic characters and not discuss this with you? How to survive the games of narcissism that are entering our school "friendships" The simple steps to not engage and get over the mistakes. 
Think time to perform efficiently One of the ways we perform more effectively and efficiently is to press pause. To allow ourselves to passively think about what we desire to create - to do - to answer. To do tasks in our mind and body before we ever sit down to do them! Hence we think best while we move, while we experience in a different way - not at a computer screen! 
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

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 Belonging: From Fear to Freedom on the Path to True CommunityAngel Kyodo Williamshttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/55384181-belonging?ac=1&from_search=true&qid=PKMRkn17KK&rank=5
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...
