12 year old Mary has spent most of her life in an Internally Displaced People's camp in north-east Nigeria. Her family were driven out of their village by militants Boko Haram- a group whose exploits have left millions in the region displaced. Over 3 million people have been displaced in Nigeria and more than half of that number are children. This have also contributed to the north's reputation for having the highest number of children out of school. But over the last year a very different world has opened up for Mary, and it's all because of chess. She's won medals and competed in tournaments in the United States. She was taught to play by chess coach Vivian Ibrahim, a woman who believes chess could help children in these camps to get back into education. In today's episode Alan Kasujja speaks to Mary and her mother Hanatu about their journey. He also speaks to Vivian about the power of chess.

As adults it can be hard to identify and process our emotions, yet we often expect children to be able to do so as if they were adults. Their worlds are often much smaller than ours, and because of that, emotions can feel very big. Tune into today's episode where we will discuss the process Claire suggests to help children process the full spectrum of emotions in ways that are healthy, and can help to create better habits as an adult. In this episode we cover: What happens when we don't express our emotions The route to becoming a fulfilled and well supported adult How we can help support our children's needs The emotional awareness of children The process Claire gave a client to help their child process and express their emotions Why this process is so powerful Our conditioning around processing anger The three steps to experiencing the full emotional spectrum The effect hiding emotions from your child can have The vulnerability of joy Episode References: The episode where we talk about the Red-Green Spectrum - Episode 3 - I need to do WHAT?

"When Jesus returned to Capernaum after some days, It was reported that he was at home. And many were gathered together, so that there was no more room, not even at the door. And he was preaching the word to them. And they came, bringing to him a paralytic carried by 4 men. And when they could not get near him because of the crowd, They removed the roof from above him, and when they had made an opening, they let down the bed on which the paralytic lay.

Memorable Quotes "More than seeing the poverty, all I could see was so much potential going down to waste. People, when they go to third world countries, they only see the poverty. But all I could see was so many kids with so much potential that would go to waste if no one did something to help them." – Maria Conceicao "What I learned with the English Channel is keep swimming. Even if you're going to the wrong direction, keep swimming because the tides, they will eventually change." – Maria Conceicao  "Dreams, they don't happen not because it's not possible. It's just because people, they give up too soon. And it will be a very tough journey. It will be incredibly hard. But remember, the harder it is, when things are really tough, that means you're going the right way." – Maria Conceicao Where to Find Our Guest Website: https://www.mariadaconceicao.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mariatrugrit/ To stay connected and to learn more about Vishen and Mindvalley, click on the links below:  Website: https://www.mindvalley.com/about YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/vishenlakhiani Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mindvalley/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vishen/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mindvalley Subscribe to 'Mindvalley Membership' to discover 65+ transformational Mindvalley programs – at a surprisingly low annual fee here
