Talking Careers…
I was honoured to be invited to discuss career pathways, the work that I do and the path I took to get to where I am today with some wonderful year 10 students at Donvale Christian College today.

Some key things we discussed:-
*Follow your passion and do something you love 💕
*There is no need to know ‘what you want to do/be’ this will constantly change and evolve as you change and evolve.
*There are many pathways into careers, many of which don’t even exist yet.
*Respectful relationships, connection and nurture are the foundations of education.
*The importance of learning through play.

What a privilege to chat with these future leaders.

I love the diversity and opportunities being an education consultant, teacher and business owner have given me.

The body keeps score… 😢One of my babes is super emotional today, like really emotional and angry. 🤷‍♀️Unusual because there appears to be no apparent reason/cause. 😔Then a Facebook memory popped up saying it’s 12 months since we went back into one of the lockdowns in Melbourne 🥺 👉🏻Remember behaviour is communication, triggers are everywhere and the body keeps score by storing trauma in our nervous system. 💕What we’ve been through is real, it needs to be processed and repair ruptures. #bridiearchereducation #educationconsultant #playtherapistintraining #trauma #postpandemictrauma #wellbeing #thebodykeepsthescore #processingtrauma #parentingpostpandemic #parenting #behaviouriscommunication #onlinetutoring #onlinetutor #tutoringservices

Well that was unexpected! Some nights you just don’t know what parenting is going to throw at you. Tonight was one of those with a major meltdown. If there’s anything I’m learning about trauma based approaches and humanistic play therapy it’s this; “Lean In”👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻
*So challenging when you’re feeling triggered yourself, but you are enough, behaviour is communication, attunement, synchronicity and connection are the key to emotional regulation.

Bit quiet our end, been battling the mega cold doing the rounds at the moment! Love this article shared by Made By Dyslexia. Something I cannot emphasise more when parents are worried about their kids spelling. We can empower them with rules to support spelling but ultimately the goal is to be literate; acofidebt reader and writer. Technology can support with editing of errors. Focus on the brilliance of storytelling 💕

‘My spelling isn’t that great’: Michael Morpurgo on why teaching kids to love writing is more important than grammar The author, poet and playwright on why we should move away from Michael Gove-mandated lessons on fronted adverbials and back to unleashing the creative potential of children
