Problems that aren't real problems.Today's podcast is about problems, and the different types of problems we can focus in on.

With us fighting for our sons rights it's become clear that for a second time of his schooling life we will be taking him out of a schooling system that is still not progressive enough to include the confidence of our growing young men. The hood thing is the school is going to looking into their leadership qualities going forward. We hope our son's sacrifice benefits the boys like him there in the future but it was worth it for him and his growing development as a young man.  Enjoy …

We're encountering some old world  ideals as our son starts to grow into a man & I think it relates to some old institutions & ways trying to hold on while new ways are wanting to come through. Have a listen to this 11 minute podcast of trying to deal with at home with our boy & how it relates to the wider worlds issues.

This podcast is about social media. I was unlucky or lucky not to have my phone for the last four days, and it gave me some insights when I didn't have social media there to pick up and look at consistently.

Because the image wasn't the reality of my human being life. I needed to deal with being a father or need to learn how to be a father and a husband, a businessman, instead of pushing an image around being a better person where I was still dealing with learning how to be a better person myself.Listen to this episode and know what I am talking about.CONNECT WITH ME ON MY INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/henarehobrien/I'm also on Facebook over at https://www.facebook.com/henarehonaOr you can check out my website: https://www.henareobrien.com/

We change the things we can and accept the things we can't. And that seems to me more of a holistic view than some of the rigid views that we're having now telling us we need to be better people. How do you be better? Because when I'm better, sometimes I feel worse.Listen to this episode and know what I am talking about.CONNECT WITH ME ON MY INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/henarehobrien/I'm also on Facebook over at https://www.facebook.com/henarehonaOr you can check out my website: https://www.henareobrien.com/

And so leadership is about being honest. Well, but if you look at the yin yangs symbol, you get the gist of it like a magnet has two ends.

I'm still learning that myself and my brain click into gear sometimes to defend myself against things that I may only have had a little part in or a big part in.But it always tells me that I shouldn't apologize for, it tells me that it wasn't my fault, it diverts to other people but I've had to tell it and train it.

Every time I've dropped something or let it go, there's sometimes been all sorts of emotions that go with it, maybe sadness, anger, frustration, but after that space opens up and for me then I try and fill it up with repetition again. When I keep that system of let things go, because that's the way of life is letting things go, we have to let ourselves go in the end as well. So I think the buddha had one of it is his precepts, nothing is permanent. Listen to this episode and know what I am talking about.CONNECT WITH ME ON MY INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/henarehobrien/I'm also on Facebook over at https://www.facebook.com/henarehonaOr you can check out my website: https://www.henareobrien.com/

There are a lot of good intentions of expressing yourself and finding a way to speak out about the current education system. Sadly, these are not updated or fully represented in today's time. In this episode, I shared about the importance of making the educational system fixed and the reasons why updating it will make the best out of our children's future.  Maybe this podcast can also give you some realisations for a change - especially for our children's sake.Listen to this episode and know what I am talking about.CONNECT WITH ME ON MY INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/henarehobrien/I'm also on Facebook over at https://www.facebook.com/henarehonaOr you can check out my website: https://www.henareobrien.com/

When I was a teacher, the best classrooms I was ever involved in. The best times I ever had is when there was open communication and two-way dialogue between the teacher and the children, including the children in the process of their own growth and development. The support they brought to me as a teacher was just as important as I brought to them. That then didn't have me as an authority figure hit me as collaborative.Listen to this episode and know what I am talking about.CONNECT WITH ME ON MY INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/henarehobrien/I'm also on Facebook over at https://www.facebook.com/henarehonaOr you can check out my website: https://www.henareobrien.com/

The apprehension even going through this call is giving way to the appreciation of life and what it has to offer and where this is the main point I wanted to come to when we accept where we are, who we are, and what we've been through and acknowledge it. We then can step forward into the future with more conviction, courage, and appreciation and that's what I've wanted for years.Listen to this episode and know what I am talking about.CONNECT WITH ME ON MY INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/henarehobrien/I'm also on Facebook over at https://www.facebook.com/henarehonaOr you can check out my website: https://www.henareobrien.com/

I got a message today from somebody asking if they knew where this guy was, who had lost a lot of money of the people that he had promised the service, he was not able to deliver on. And these are people that don't have a lot of money but their trust in other people to give them a service that is promised and not delivered.

I was able to through that knowledge, start to work out the science of how I personally gain and lose weight, which seems simple. But to me it was always complicated growing up where we grew up, which was a low socioeconomic community. Like violence may not seem the great, the greatest things, but it's a relief of emotional distress. Food was relief from stress. And so I was conditioned to abele to go to that without even thinking about it. And you know, you hear all the not emotional, you hear all the quotes and motivations out there. But a lot of the times when you are feeling like it's hard to even let those in. They just make things worse. You want people to understand where you're from, not to tell you where to go sometimes, especially if you are not in a motivated space. And so back to the accountability thing.

Where I divert from the common thinking around action is setting goals. Usually we see this, this is my reason for it. Usually we set goals within the parameters of what we know. For instance, we so an exercise come back again in the way that we did it before goals work when we have done it before, when we have accomplished something before, we can replicate it.Listen to this episode and know what I am talking about.CONNECT WITH ME ON MY INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/henarehobrien/I'm also on Facebook over at https://www.facebook.com/henarehonaOr you can check out my website: https://www.henareobrien.com/

Like living in Bali for eight years now, the world is not connected through social media that informed so they are informed and they are inspired. But when you meet people there isn't because there's no real depth of communication and connection there and that's what New Zealand and Maori people have in general.Listen to this episode and know what I am talking about.CONNECT WITH ME ON MY INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/henarehobrien/I'm also on Facebook over at https://www.facebook.com/henarehonaOr you can check out my website: https://www.henareobrien.com/

I didn't have a sex till I was in my early 20's because it freaked me out. I was a 70s and 80s kid and we didn't talk about that ship whatsoever. Our parents didn't talk about it. Even when we went to church, they said you shouldn't think about it. So we were trapped by ideals and ideas that were given to us of the time but weren't beneficial to many of us where I lived, there was a fun house just around the corner that kids would go to.Listen to this episode and know what I am talking about.CONNECT WITH ME ON MY INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/henarehobrien/I'm also on Facebook over at https://www.facebook.com/henarehonaOr you can check out my website: https://www.henareobrien.com/

Smith promptly stood up from his seat at the front of the venue and took the stage, slapping Rock across the face before sitting back down and yelling at Rock to keep his wife's name out of his mouth.Now, let me share something about this from my perspective.CONNECT WITH ME ON MY INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/henarehobrien/ I'm also on Facebook over at https://www.facebook.com/henarehona Or you can check out my website: https://www.henareobrien.com/Reference https://www.theguardian.com/stage/2022/mar/30/chris-rock-will-smith-slap-standup
