During this episode, I had the pleasure of interviewing one of my apprentices and long-time students, Sue Reed, who used to guide folks down rivers. We had a lovely chat about how women river guides do things a bit differently, learning to read the river, and how we can align with the river of life in impeccable ways. Join us as we discuss how to navigate eddies, expect the unexpected, and unlearn old ways of being.
Hello and welcome to this week's episode where my guest is Sue Reed. Sue's background is varied and she's worn a variety of hats, including teacher, museum guide, upcycler of waste wool knitwear and published author. Her most recent creation is the fictional character Molly McFlynn, a quirky and courageous character who comes to terms with the concept of being an outsider against the backdrop of covid and a rugged Northern landscape. Listen on to find out how nature factors into the rewilding of Molly… About Sue Reed Sue Reed lives in rural Northumberland with her husband, Tim where their love of wild places and nature can be realised. They have three grown-up children and two granddaughters who mean the world to them. Born in Worthing, Sussex, Sue migrated steadily north and has worn a variety of hats in her professional life from teacher, museum guide, upcycler of waste wool knitwear as The Woolly Pedlar to published author. It was in 2019 that she decided to go to Newcastle University to do an MA in Creative Writing, which is where the idea for the Molly McFlynn books started. When not writing, Sue divides her time with her husband in the garden, travelling in their converted campervan or looking after the grandchildren. They try to live as sustainably as possible, leading gentle lives in tune with the seasons, and growing their own fruit and vegetables. Sue also writes about organic gardening, seasonal eating and foraging at The Bridge Cottage Way.

Set in rural Northumberland between the 2020 Covid-19 Pandemic and 1649 Newcastle Witch Trials, this is a story of a girl who is rewilded both in ditching her addiction to restriction & dieting, and in finding the agency to be true to herself & live a more sustainable life.Molly's story is not just about individual growth; it's a call to recognise and respect differences in others and ourselves. It challenges the reader to think about their own identity, the pressures to conform, and the courage it takes to carve one's path. The narrative underscores the significance of finding one's tribe while maintaining personal values and identity.In a world where deviation from the norm can lead to "cancellation" or ostracism, Sue Reed's book serves as a reminder of the importance of community, empathy, and acceptance.

Delivering significant results is probably the expected outcome of any learning programme. But how many truly deliver...and how many drift into a box ticking process? £2.4 million in additional sales definitely sits in the significant result box in my mind and that is the kind of outcome that Sue helps her clients regularly deliver. So how does she do it? In this episode Sue shares some of the ways in which she approaches these challenges: from the way she instills self care into her learners, deliberate reflection time, detailed dashboards and established accreditations....oh and cardboard knickers on a washing line too!

In 1834, ten convicts seized the Frederick and made their daring escape from the penal settlement on Sarah Island in Tasmania to the Port of Valdivia in Chile. The journey took about 7 weeks. They travelled 6 thousand nautical miles with a skeletal mostly inexperienced crew using a leaky boat. This is their incredible story.
