Big wave surfing is a sport like no other. Clearly you need incredible technique and athleticism just to be in the conversation. But beyond that it's the mental side of taking on a monster wave, each one unique in how it forms and breaks, that puts it in a category all its own. British surfer Laura Crane takes us inside this otherworldly pursuit, from the moments of calm as she waits for her chance, to the instant game face required to enter the fray and take on a wave as big as an office block. What's remarkable about such skill and bravery is how Laura has had to battle self-doubt and imposter syndrome along the way but she credits the challenges she's faced - including bulimia and sepsis - with equipping her with the edge she needed to find her calling and become the first British woman to ride the 60 foot waves of Nazaré in Portugal. She also discusses how her earlier experiences as a young female surfer have made her passionate about the example she sets for the next generation and explains how all of us could benefit from getting to know and understand our fears instead of battling against them.

www.taletellerclub.comExploring Gilded Age Glamour: "The Automobile Girls at Newport" by Laura Crane Introduction:In the early 20th century, as the world underwent rapid industrialization and societal shifts, literature often reflected the changing dynamics of culture and lifestyles. Laura Crane's "The Automobile Girls at Newport" provides a fascinating glimpse into the Gilded Age, combining elements of adventure, romance, and societal commentary. Published in 1910, this novel follows the lives of spirited young women navigating the opulent world of Newport, Rhode Island, and sheds light on the evolving roles of women in society. Setting the Scene:"The Automobile Girls at Newport" is a delightful escapade that unfolds against the backdrop of Newport's high society during the Gilded Age. The novel captures the essence of an era characterized by extravagant wealth, luxurious estates, and a burgeoning fascination with the latest technological marvels, particularly the advent of the automobile.Plot Overview: The narrative revolves around the adventures of our protagonists, the "Automobile Girls," as they explore Newport in their newfound fascination - the automobile. The story not only encapsulates their love for the thrill of driving but also intertwines their lives with the intricate social tapestry of Newport's elite circles. As the young women navigate the challenges of societal expectations and forge romantic connections, the novel provides a nuanced exploration of the changing roles and aspirations of women in the early 20th century.Character Dynamics:Crane's characters are richly developed, offering readers a diverse cast that defies traditional gender norms of the time. The "Automobile Girls" are depicted as independent, forward-thinking, and adventurous, challenging the constraints imposed on women in their pursuit of personal and romantic fulfillment. The novel serves as a testament to the resilience and tenacity of young women seeking to break free from societal expectations.Exploring Societal Shifts: "The Automobile Girls at Newport" doesn't merely entertain; it serves as a lens through which readers can observe the cultural and societal shifts occurring during the Gilded Age. The emergence of the automobile as a symbol of modernity, the changing dynamics of courtship, and the evolving roles of women all contribute to a narrative that reflects the zeitgeist of the time. Legacy and Contemporary Relevance: While "The Automobile Girls at Newport" is firmly rooted in its historical context, its themes of independence, social exploration, and the pursuit of personal happiness remain relevant. Crane's work contributes to the broader discussion of women's roles in society, making it a compelling read for modern audiences interested in historical fiction with a progressive twist.Conclusion: Laura Crane's "The Automobile Girls at Newport" transports readers to a bygone era of elegance and societal transformation. Through the lens of the spirited "Automobile Girls," Crane not only provides a captivating tale of adventure and romance but also offers a thought-provoking commentary on the evolving roles of women during the Gilded Age. As we delve into the lives of these pioneering women, we find a narrative that resonates with themes of independence, resilience, and the timeless pursuit of personal fulfilment.

Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) is considered to be a profile within autism and it presents as an overwhelming need to resist and avoid the ordinary demands of life.  The PDA Society estimates that 70% of PDA children and young people are not in school, arguing that this is because their needs are not being met. Clare Truman joins Dale for her first SENDcast episode ‘An Introduction to PDA'. We discuss: What is PDA and what do we know about it, so far? How to prioritise and present demands for PDA learners How to reduce anxiety for PDA learners How to follow the PDA learner's lead in learning The difference between PDA and Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) By listening to this episode, you will gain valuable insights on how to provide better support for children and young people with PDA and help them re-engage with education.     About Clare Truman Clare Truman is an education consultant, special education teacher and big sister to an autistic young man.

Fans of Love Island might recognise Laura from season 4 of the show, but others will likely know her from her incredible sporting career as a pro surfer and model. She'd been making waves in the sporting world from her early teens, clinching the title of UK Champion at just 14 years old before deciding to retire at 21.  In this episode, Laura opens up to Kris about the highs and lows she experienced while living out her ‘blue crush dream', including a fierce battle with bulimia that consumed her at the height of her years in competitive sport. She speaks candidly about some of her darkest moments, her fear of failure and pinpoints the exact moment she realised that she needed help.  As always with the topics in the podcast, some may find subjects triggering.

Vanished in Broad Daylight is the story of a well known and beloved educator in Fort Worth.  Two days before Super Bowl XXXVIII, Laura Crane went to a local grocery store but never returned home.

There are predators who roam our city and this story gives you a glimpse of how they attack their prey.

In today's episode, I head to Holland Park in West London to meet a good friend of mine, Laura Crane - former British Surfing champion and now owner of Stryve Wellness retreats.  We discuss the importance of being present,  how essential it is to take time away from the screen, and "living life to the max!" Laura has had quite the journey from appearing in the Love Island Villa in 2018 and in more recent times, her change in relationship with both food and exercise. We also have a very open and honest conversation around the pressures associated with social media and how she has managed to find a balance. It's a great episode and just a really genuine conversation between two friends. Aimee will be probing for answers from the full spectrum of routines; the early birds who have finely tuned Monday mornings, to the late risers who struggle to get up before 11am. How do elite athletes find the motivation to kick start their week come rain or shine? How do celebrities deliver no matter what the time of day? What knowledge can they pass on? Each episode drops on a Monday morning and plays out in real time. Aimee will meet each of her guests for a walk and a chat and over the course of the mile she will find out how they cope on a Monday morning - their idiosyncrasies, breakfast routines, alarm noises - and how, when they need to, find the motivation to kick-on through the week.  Dropping every Monday as a bitesize piece of content and weekly dose of motivation - right when you need it - sharing some of Britain's greatest athletes' secrets on self-motivation, candid thoughts on what they struggle with and a sideways look at some of their more unusual morning habits.  Head over to IG to watch the visuals of our episode and what we get up to on our Monday Mile. https://www.instagram.com/aimee_fuller/   Filmed and Edited by Jack Holmes.

Parenting can be a challenge for anyone, even in the most ideal conditions. But parenting a child who has a different neurotype than you can come with unique challenges. I want to discuss a question that I've gotten a few times: Should I tell my child about their autism? How do I portray being autistic as an ultimately positive and valuable identity while not skipping over the real challenges that are associated with it? This can be a complicated question because everybody's situation is different and unique.

Laura came to crazy amounts of fame when she entered the Love Island villa, which we talk about at the start of this episode, but before that she was making serious waves in the surf scene as a sponsored athlete.   The overriding reason that I wanted to chat to her though was because I saw her put up an insta story about an operation she's just had to clear up an ovarian cyst which brought on severe sepsis and left her in A&E fighting off an infection that's changed her life forever.    This episode is sponsored by Davy J water wear and I'm thrilled to be able to introduce you to the brand!

This week’s guest is pro-surfer, TV star and online celebrity, Laura Crane. Until recently, our culture has been unapologetically about filling our lives with ‘stuff’ we have been convinced it will make us happier, more attractive, more fulfilled. We consume mindlessly and relentlessly. We talk through how people are responding to this crisis and whether our consumption habits may change.

In the third episode of this special lockdown series we spoke to former international surfer and Love Island contestant Laura Crane. We spoke about the pressures of growing up as an athlete, body image and bulimia and the power of exercise for the mind.

Laura Crane is a former professional surfer and model but is probably best known for her time on ‘Love Island’ 2018. What you may not have known is that she is also an avid runner. Like many of us, Laura finds that running helps to clear her head. In this episode, she gives Jenni a very honest account of living with bulimia and explains how fitness aided recovery by helping her regain control. Laura exudes a passion for running, fitness and sport in general as she talks about the joy of pushing yourself, whilst also filling us in on how to stay toned in the Love Island villa. She also sheds light on which is harder - running or surfing. The positive message powering this episode will inspire you to just keep going, so listen whilst you’re out pounding the pavement yourself!

Season 1 finished just over a month ago and we are getting ready for Season 2 to air very soon. Meanwhile, check out this Season 1 highlights reel with my first guests including Dr Alex George, Danny Cipriani, Vanessa Bauer, Tyger Drew-Honey, Laura Crane and Simon Webbe.

In Episode 5 we have the ultra cool Laura Crane. I love how chilled this episode is; we had this conversation sat in loungewear, jet lagged after a long, but super fun day. We're both extremely comfortable and relaxed, and yet touch on some heavy heartfelt subjects. Laura has a really interesting and unique story. You may know her from Love Island, but she's been a pro surfer and model for big companies like Billabong from a very young age. This episode delves into the world of being an athlete in a male dominated industry, traveling around the world without your parents from such a young age, the pros and cons of a competitive streak, proving people wrong, and dealing with negative thoughts. We also cover Laura's journey battling and recovering from bulimia, social anxiety, being your best self, and the reality behind reality TV.Visit https://theothersideofperfect.com/Laura Crane https://www.instagram.com/lauraloucraneSponsor https://www.cleancutmeals.ie/ Thank you to the sponsors of this episode, Ireland's leading meal prep provider, Clean Cut Meals, who are offering 20% off their meals if you use the code 'JOANNE20'.

Growing up into womanhood, Laura's career in surfing was on the line. Her battle with eating disorders resulted in the loss of a huge sponsorship deal. But Laura fought back joined Love Island 2018 and stormed the villa. We also chatted about her recent battle with sepsis, and how important it is to always find the silver lining.

Laura Crane is a professional surfer, model and 2018 Love Island contestant. On top of putting out amazing content around her workouts on her social media channels (which I highly recommend checking out), her surf videos and photos are second to none! This episode is an absolute belter! On top of talking all things health, fitness, and mindset, we also go into Laura’s history with an eating disorder, her experience on Love Island, 11 days in the hospital with sepsis and leaving school at 15 to pursue her dream of becoming a professional surfer. I freaking loved this one! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Autism is a condition that affects about one in a hundred of us.  But few people understand or can recognise it.  This can have serious implications when people with autism encounter the criminal justice system. Recent research by City University and the University of Bath suggests that most people with autism, and about 75% of their parents,  are left very upset after dealings with the police.  April is Autism Awareness Month, and Pod Academy's Lee Millam  went to talk to Dr Laura Crane of City University London, to find out more. Lee Millam:  Autism is a complex condition for which there is no cure.  The main features are problems with social communication and interaction. Laura Crane:   Everyone with autism is very different, but people with autism all show the same key features - impairment in interacting with people socially and repetitive behaviours, interests and activities. These really vary so you could have one persion with autism who is very verbally and intellectually able, whereas others may not speak, they may have intellectual disabilities and may need full time care to meet their needs. Autism can affect anybody, we don't know what causes it and it is sometimes quite hard for people to be diagnosed because some signs can be very subtle.  But it can affect anybody.  One in a hundred means 700,000 people in the UK. Because we don't know what causes autism there are no treatments, but there are lots of interventions available to enable people with autism to lead rewarding and fulfilling lives - in schools, in the community - to help people with autism get jobs or help them learn in the classroom. But there is no cure.  If you have autism you live with it throughout your life. There have been lots of high profile cases in the media where  people with autism have come in contact with the police and the outcomes haven't been very positive. We wanted to see whether these experiences were rare, but actually they were very common.  It wasn't just these extreme cases we hear about.  We did a survey of 400 police officers and 100 member of the autism community (parents and autistic adults) and we asked them about the experiences of autism within the criminal justice system - what they think worked well and not well. The police were generally fairly satisfied with how they worked with individuals with autism but the autistic adults and their parents were not.  69% were dissatisfied.  It shows there is a disparity between the views of the police and the view of people with autism themselves. That is something that needs to be addressed. One of the key problems is that the police often direct their resources towards people with quite classic signs of autism - difficulties with language, intellectual impairment, very clear social impairments.  And on the other end of the spectrum you have individuals who are very articulate, very verbally and intellectutally able and they're often termed as having 'high funtioning autism' or Asperger's syndrome.  When the police come into contact with someone with a diagnosis of high functioning autism or Asperger's syndrom, they might see that their symptoms aren't very obvious.  They can verbalise what happened and give a fairly good account of what's gone on, but actually they need a lot of help and support as well and I think the police might overlook that because they'll over estimate the capabilities of that person. I think one of the key issues is autism awareness.  Lots of people have heard of autism, they may be aware of a friend or family member who has an autism diagnosis, but few people know exactly what that means.  They wouldn't necessarily know if someone they met had autism.  It is a hidden condition unlike other conditions (eg Down's Syndrome where people have a characteristic appearance). Training police officers about the characteristics of autism - so when they encounter someone with autism they can identify that this person is vulnerable a...
