What started as an open, vulnerable chat about Sam's struggles she faces as an AuDHD person running her own business soon derailed into a chat about the ethics of AI, western politics, the climate crisis and a very desensitised version of existential dread (we're all gonna die anyway so.... whatever??)

Rambles, it's absolute rambles.

We chat with the incredible Lael Stone about a myriad of topics including:

- Leading a passion-led life: discovering what you love, finding people who have done it and learning from them - whilst not letting the "I can't"s get in the way

- Her incredible journey of opening a school that does it differently, Woodline Primary, and how she didn't let any "lack" of qualifications stop her

- Her thoughts on parenting: how to trust your kids, listen to your body wisdom and lead with compassion

This episode is so quotable! Another pod bestie in the bank.

Lael Stone is an Australian speaker, educator and author whose passion is supporting parents to understand their children, helping adults process their own childhood trauma and creating education systems that value emotional awareness.

Our guest this week is Jess's favourite person - her partner Jimmy!

We talk to Jimmy about his relationship with Jess, how they manage conflict and how they thrive together. Both sharing how self awareness, radical acceptance and unconditional positive regard help make this the best relationship both have ever been in.

Oh, and if you're not into mushy, gooey romantics - maybe skip this one... it's a lovefest!!
