Snak-Lytter Cem kaldte Star Maker “storslået, tidskrævende, men mindblowing”. Han havde ret på alle tre punkter. Storslået? Absolut. Syret? Uden tvivl. Men også en rigtig hård mundfuld at komme igennem. Fra lyngbakke til galaktisk bevidsthed Bogen starter forbløffende jordnært. En unavngiven englænder sidder en aften i 1937 på en bakke og betragter stjernerne, mens han tænker på sit liv og sit ægteskab. Hans kone sidder inde i det oplyste hus. Men så sker der noget radikalt: Hans bevidsthed løsriver sig fra kroppen, og pludselig kan han se gennem jorden – gennem klipperne, gennem planetens kerne – og ud i kosmos. “Looking down, I seemed to see through a transparent planet, through heather and solid rock, through the buried graveyards of vanished species, down through the molten flow of basalt, and on into the earth’s core of iron. But our home had vanished with the whole suburb, and the hills too, and the sea.” Her begynder den mest ekstreme kosmiske rejse i science fiction-historien. Først tilbringer hovedpersonen lang tid alene i det tomme rum, deprimeret og ensom. Men så opdager han The Other Earth – en planet befolket med menneskelignende væsener, der har lange ben, flade hoveder, og som lugter gennem hænderne. De har ikke meget musik, men til gengæld har de duftradio, hvor man kan opleve andres seksuelle oplevelser gennem lugten. Ja, det er præcis så syret, som det lyder. “In compensation, scent and taste developed amazingly. These beings tasted not only with their mouths, but with their moist black hands and with their feet. They were thus afforded an extraordinarily rich and intimate experience of their planet.” Hovedpersonen opdager, at han kan glide ind i de fremmedes hoveder. Han bosætter sig i kraniet på en halskør filosof ved navn Bvallthu, og gradvist smelter de sammen til en fælles personlighed. Fra denne sammensmelting vokser noget langt større. Hive minds, intelligente stjerner og kosmisk teambuilding Stapledon stopper ikke ved én planet. Nej nej. Vores hovedperson møder plantemennesker, insektlignende sværme (hvor enkeltindividet er dumt, men sværmen udgør en intelligens), symbiontiske krabber og edderkopper. Og – naturligvis – intelligente stjerner, der ikke bare kredser om den galaktiske kerne, men faktisk danser og kommunikerer med hinanden i kosmisk poesi. Hele tiden udvides den kollektive bevidsthed. Først én planet. Så flere. Så hele galakser. Stapledon bruger disse møder til at reflektere over civilisationers cykliske udviklinger. Igen og igen ser vi samfund, der når et vist niveau af udvikling, hvorefter det hele bryder sammen i konflikt og krig, og de må starte forfra. Stapledon – filosof, pacifist og ambulancefører under Første Verdenskrig – havde tydeligvis nogle meninger om 1930’ernes Europa. Duftradio-beskrivelserne lugter af propaganda-kritik. Men alle disse civilisationer, alle disse møder, peger mod ét mål. Mødet med den kolde skaber Bogens klimaks er mødet med Star Maker – universets skaber. Men det er ikke et kærligt, varmt møde med en omsorgsfuld gud. Nej, Star Maker betragter sit kosmos med den kliniske interesse, en kunstner har for sit værk. Han noterer fejlene. Føler ingen stolthed. For det her kosmos er bare ét eksperiment i en lang række. Star Maker er stadig i udvikling – fra baby-starmaker, der lavede legetøjsuniverser (ét univers bestod kun af musik uden rumlige dimensioner!), til mester-starmaker, der skaber stadigt mere komplekse kosmosser. Vores univers? Meh, et mellemstadie med “irrevocable flaws”. “For I had been confronted not by welcoming and kindly love, but by a very different spirit. It seemed to me that he gazed down on me from the height of his divinity with the aloof though passionate attention of an artist judging his finished work, calmly rejoicing in its achievement, but recognizing at last the irrevocable flaws.” En teologisk vision, både fascinerende og foruroligende. C.S. Lewis hadede den så meget, at han kaldte den “amoralsk” og skrev sin Space Trilogy som modsvar. Men Arthur C. Clarke elskede den og kaldte den den mest indflydelsesrige bog i sit liv. Efter mødet vender vores hovedperson tilbage til bakken, til lyngen, til konen i huset. Men nu med et radikalt ændret perspektiv på menneskehedens plads i kosmos. Og hans kone? Hun må have været bekymret. Han har været væk i milliarder af år – selvom der kun er gået et øjeblik. En bog der ikke er en bog Stapledon skriver selv i forordet, at bogen “by the standards of the novel, is remarkably bad. In fact, it is no novel at all.” Og han har ret. Intet plot. Ingen karakterudvikling. Ingen dialog. Bare en filosofisk meditation, en kosmisk traktat, en 300 siders stream of consciousness. Sproget er tungt – næsten 100 år gammelt og tit vanskeligt at følge. Som Anders siger: “Det føltes som en bog, der var skrevet 100 år før den faktisk blev skrevet.” Gang på gang beskriver Stapledon nye planeter, nye racer, nye samfund – som alle gennemgår de samme cyklusser. På et tidspunkt begynder man at skimme. Anders indrømmer blankt, at han “skimmede 10-20 sider ad gangen” gennem store dele af bogen. Men den er også fuld af idéer, som formede science fiction: Hive minds, galaktiske imperier, intelligente stjerner, telepatisk kommunikation, multivers-teorier. Kim Stanley Robinson sagde det bedst: “Every few pages contain all the material of an ordinary science fiction novel, condensed to something like prose poetry.” Vurderingen Jens: ⭐ (én stjerne). “Jeg havde ikke læst den færdig, hvis det ikke var for Sci-Fi Snak. Det er simpelthen killeren på en bog. Jeg kan godt se, at der ligger kvaliteter i den, men den er utrolig træls og langsomt skrevet. Jeg havde absencer, mens jeg læste.” Anders: ⭐⭐ (to stjerner – men med et spaltet sind). “De første 100 sider var smukke og poetiske. Den 17-årige hippie Anders indeni mig blev vakt til live af den kropsløse bevidsthedsrejse i kosmos. Men så blev det repetitivt. Jeg var tæt på at forsvinde helt ud af bogen.” En bog for alle? Næppe. “Hvis ikke jeg var 100% sikker på, at Henning allerede havde læst den, så ville jeg nok anbefale den til Henning,” griner Anders. Men hvis du er forfatter og leder efter idéer? Så er Star Maker en idébank uden lige. Arthur C. Clarke, Asimov, Le Guin og Kim Stanley Robinson lod sig alle inspirere. Og hvis du vil have en special science fiction-oplevelse – lidt spirituel filosofi, lidt mind-blowing kosmisk vision, lidt Iron Man læseoplevelse – så kan Star Maker være noget for dig. Jens og Anders har SCIFI SNAKKET Star Maker. Shownotes til episoden om Star Maker Siden sidst Jens Er totalt gået i Mick Herron-læsemode og læser spionthrillers Ser Pluribus på Apple TV – “Jeg er så glad for den, jeg næsten kan finde på at stå lidt tidligere op fredag morgen for at se et afsnit” Anders Har læst Dream Hotel af Laila Lalami – en bog om predictive policing og AI-drevne drømmeanalyser Hovedpersonen bliver tilbageholdt på et “opbevaringshotel” for folk, der måske vil begå forbrydelser i fremtiden (kafkask, men underholdende) Har læst Quantum of Menace af Vaseem Khan – en thriller om Q fra James Bond-universet Ser også Pluribus – “Den er crazy god” Lytternes input Fra Goodreads: Steen spørger om lydbogstjenester til bilkørsel. E-reolen og Libby har gratis biblioteksmaterialer (danske og engelske). Mofibo har et stort sci-fi-katalog. Og så er der selvfølgelig Audible. Julerabat fra Science Fiction Cirklen: Lise tilbyder en decemberrabat på den danske udgave af Stjernemageren – 200 kr. i stedet for 298 kr. Det er faktisk ret fedt, at den findes på dansk! (sciencefiction.dk) Rettelse: David Mondrup, som anbefalede Zoi, er ikke Jane Mondrups mand – de er fætter og kusine. Undskyld, David! (Episode 99 af LæsDen! handler i øvrigt om Zoi) Mail fra Søren Bjørn-Hansen: Søren skrev fra sit sygeleje, hvor Sci-Fi Snak var “en tryg favn når febervildelserne raser”. Han gav input om Arthur C. Clarke og geostationære satellitter – Clarke skrev om kommunikationssatellitter i Wireless World i 1945 og forudså atomdrevne raketter inden for 20 år. Sådan gik det ikke helt. Søren foreslog også, at vi læser James Coreys The Mercy of Gods (den nye bog fra teamet bag Expanse-serien). Næste gang Anders vælger: Naomi Aldermans The Future (2023) – en nærfremtids-thriller om tech-milliardærer, der får en advarsel fra deres predictive software: apokalypsen er på vej, og de skal ned i deres hemmelige bunkere. Samtidig følger vi Lai Zhen, der pludselig bliver jagtet af en lejemorder og kun overlever takket være mystisk software på hendes telefon. Margaret Atwood kalder den “gripping”. Lauren Beukes: “A little Atwood, a little Gibson, all Alderman, it’s brilliant.” Alistair Reynolds: “A rollicking, fun-packed thriller.” Vi håber på en page-turner efter Stapledons filosofiske sejtrækker. Bonus-anbefaling: Se Guillermo del Toros nye filmatisering af Frankenstein på Netflix – der skulle være ret bognær. Måske vender vi tilbage til det senere.

Today's episode is about a topic I'm extremely familiar with: PROCRASTINATION. This conversation with Zoi Saad gave me a LOT of hope! By addressing unconscious negative beliefs that lurk below the surface, she helps people approach procrastination with a curious and loving mindset. By uncovering and addressing the root of the issue, we can lessen the impact of procrastination. Sign me up! Zoi Saad is a Clinical Hypnotherapist & Rapid Transformational Therapist (RTT), cross-trained in Breathwork, Spinal Energetics & Reiki. She specializes in bringing your unconscious mind and your energy body into alignment with your vision for the future. In a previous life, Zoi spent years working in boutique finance firms and small creative agencies, giving her a very clear and real understanding of the pressures facing small businesses. Her therapeutic journey began when she first experienced hypnotherapy herself, unlocking in her a 5-year healing journey that freed her from immense shame, fear, and self-doubt and allowed her to reconnect with her innate power. Zoi's business partner Sophia couldn't join us as she was busy birthing a bebé, but I'd like to include her bio, regardless! Sophia Barros is a Performance and Leadership Coach with over 20 years of experience in management & small business. Born into the world of entrepreneurship, hustle, and sacrifice were the culture Sophia grew up in. While juggling a 7-figure business and a post-grad in psychology, she spiraled into burnout.

I'm coaching a client on her TEDx Talk and she says, “Kymberlee, I don't know if I can get through this story I'm telling. Every single time I get to a certain part, I start crying and I can't even stop!” Having an emotional response like that means you're very present in your storytelling - which is what you want! So I tell her, “Try refocusing on your audience while you're telling the story. How can you serve them?”  In other words, focus on what the audience needs and take care of them instead of focusing internally on yourself. She tries it and… it changes everything! She can share her stories with minimal tears while in service to her audience.  My special guest today, Eric Hodgdon, is all too familiar with telling hard stories. In this episode, he's here to share his incredibly valuable perspective on that side of storytelling and answer questions like: How do you know your story is the right one to tell? How can you conclude hard stories for your audience? And how can you prepare yourself to deliver a difficult story to an audience? What you will learn in this episode: How telling difficult stories can help you and others heal How to know when you're ready to share a difficult story How to keep your story fresh and lively through repeated rehearsals Who is Eric? Eric Hodgdon is a speaker, author, and coach who knows first-hand the struggle after losing a loved one. After his 15-year-old daughter Zoi's death to suicide in early 2014, he grew frustrated with grief support resources focused on survival as the endgame of a grief journey. So for the past 8 years, he's made it his mission to change the way we approach grief support and coached and trained thousands of women and men on how to navigate one of the worst setbacks in life. Eric has spoken on a TEDx stage (with Kymberlee as his coach) and authored the Amazon bestselling book A Sherpa Named Zoi. Currently, he works 1-on-1 with clients to help them survive first, then get back up and ultimately live beyond the loss of their loved one. He's most active on Instagram where he posts every week about how to move from struggle to strength in the face of loss.

In which gods become dogs and get stuck in their bods! We're discussing Dogsbody, by Diana Wynne Jones in all its celestial, dog-brained glory. Sirius the dog star is punished for a mysterious murder by being trapped in an earthly pup form - and his only way back to his galaxy is to find the enigmatic Zoi that he threw down to Earth. Leave it to DWJ to make this conceit at turns heartbreaking, hilarious and ultimately bittersweet. Madeleine maintains that for those similarly traumatized by The Tigger Movie, this is a tough read. Grace is too consumed by big dumb dog thoughts to ponder anything other than dumpster leftovers and the lure of the Wild Hunt. Join us!This episode was a listener request - thank you, quemmegalaxy!

Enneagram 8s are legendary for having a powerful energy that sometimes enters the room before they do. They do everything with gusto, including their propensity to measure everything as strong vs. weak—even themselves. So, they avoid being vulnerable at all costs, often choosing to share their stories of frailty only after the fact. But other Enneagram types can see this take no prisoners, no slowing down charge as lacking in compassion. For the 8, it sometimes lacks connection. So how can Enneagram 8s stop being so independent and lean into vulnerability and compassion to enjoy deeper relationships and more in-depth experiences? Today on the show, my client and friend Zoi Jones joins me to walk us through her life as an Enneagram Type 8. She shares how her intense 8 energy helped her hold three jobs while working her way through law school and helps her level up her business as Partner in a personal injury law firm. She'll walk us through her favorite thing about being an Enneagram 8 mom to three children under five. Plus, how using the all the tools of the Enneagram (especially her 7 Wing) has helped her lead with more compassion while walking with her husband as he transitions in his career. Listen in as Zoi shares her biggest challenges as Enneagram 8 and the most significant breakthrough working with me as her coached helped her to achieve in her life. What You Will Learn How Enneagram 8s can learn to pause without being worried about getting taken advantage of How Enneagram 8s can learn to be vulnerable instead of just telling storiesWhich Enneagram subtype has the most intense energy of all Enneagram typesHow Enneagram 8 entrepreneurs can use their 7 Wing to step into their visionary side to build a more creative and fun businessWhy the Enneagram 8s 9 Wing is the key to loving and leading without judgmentHow an Enneagram 8 can lean into their 9 Wing energy to help others learn to trust their own intuitionConnect with Zoi JonesZoi on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/zoi_a_jones/Gonzalez & Jones APC on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/gonzalezandjonesapc/Connect with Tracytracyomalley.comwww.instagram.com/tracy_omalleywww.facebook.com/tracy.omalleytwitter.com/TracyOMallwww.linkedin.com/in/tracy-o-malley/Email Tracy info@tracyomalley.com ResourcesLiving a Legacy:https://www.amazon.com/Living-Legacy-Rebecca-Cafiero/dp/B0BJ4FV829/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1666726346&sr=8-1Download your FREE Enneagram Guide:https://www.tracyomalley.com/workwithmeYOUR ENNEAGRAM TYPE BLUEPRINT:https://www.tracyomalley.com/workwithmeApply for VIP 1:1 Enneagram Coaching:http://tracyomalley.com/workwithme/Book an Enneagram Kickstart Session:http://tracyomalley.com/workwithme/EP286: Being an Enneagram Eight - The Good, Beautiful, Hard, and Ugly of the Challenger:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ep286-being-an-enneagram-eight-the-good-beautiful/id1491541582?i=1000583769215Special Series: Getting to Know Each of the Enneagram Types on Apple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-leadership-formula-podcast-enneagram-success/id1491541582Review The Leadership Formula on Apple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-leadership-formula-podcast-enneagram-success/id1491541582Email info@tracyomalley.com

Tune in to hear Zoi's story about challenges living in a new country, how SDR doesn't have to be an entry level position, how life throws you around and you can find a way to navigate through the storms with a smile on your face.

My guest on this week's episode is Zoi Jones, an old client and now a friend, who's here with some wonderful stories about how she handles being an entrepreneur, a businesswoman, and a mom all at the same time. I also wanted to have Zoi on because she's a personal injury lawyer, and she's going to give us some tips about what to do if you have an auto accident and need help. The Finer Details of This Episode: Zoi's wanted to be an attorney since she was five years old, growing up with an attorney dad and her mom running the family law firm. When she was just about to start law school, people started telling her that she'd have to choose between being a lawyer and having a family—something that surprised her since both her parents were very hands-on despite being involved in the law business. Zoi still feels pulled in all different directions but knows that it's impossible to do everything herself and has worked hard to maintain a balance and create non-negotiables for career and family time. It took a lot of trial and error for Zoi to figure out her non-negotiables, as well as coming to terms with asking for help when she needed it. Her moment of revelation came when her sister saw her struggling with her third pregnancy, two kids, and a heavy workload and suggested hiring a nanny. Zoi was uncomfortable with it at first, even working from home to keep an eye on what was happening, but eventually gave herself permission to accept that help. The best thing I ever did for my business was hiring a bookkeeper because it let me focus on doing the things I'm good at—podcasts and Instagram videos and working with clients—and avoid the things that are my idea of hell—spreadsheets and numbers. You can do this at home, too—hire someone to come in and do your laundry or play with your kids so you can get your tasks done. Zoi points out that home help can be really useful in helping you to transition from work mode to home mode—the twenty minutes she gets to herself when her nanny picks her kids up from school lets her take her lawyer hat off and put her mom hat on and really be excited for her kids to come home. Zoi also gets up about twenty minutes before her kids to get that little bit of me-time by doing some quick meditation. Sometimes her son gets up a little earlier and sits with her until she's done, which works as modeling meditation for him. Mindfulness is such a buzzword right now, but it's largely empty because parents don't model it but instead run around like headless chickens. In order to model effectively, you have to be consistent and put in the work yourself. Zoi has made a goal for herself to educate families to have the proper insurance for themselves so they can feel more confident on the roads in case they're ever involved in an accident. Zoi says that the top things to do if you're in an auto accident are: call the police regardless of how bad the accident is, take photos (of the vehicles, the other driver's license, and their insurance info), and go to the doctor even if you think you're okay (to stop your insurance company from questioning your injuries if they flare up later). The other important thing is to hire an attorney to be in your corner and take care of you because insurance companies are in the business of making money, and they will take advantage instead of getting you the best result.

  Declutter Your Homeschool "We all have a clutter story. Physical Clutter Emotional Clutter Relationship Clutter Time Clutter Digital Clutter We all have some form of clutter in our lives. Because as life happens, we take things in, we build stories and relationships with these items and then there comes a time when it runs its course and we are moving to a new faze in life...and so we have to learn how to let things go. Sometimes that's difficult." Jaycel Murphy This episode was originally recorded in my club, Honey! I'm Homeschooling on the Clubhouse app. Jaycel Murphy is a former social worker, Neurolinguistic programming coach and Elite Declutter Coach. She supports people in decluttering their homes and their lives. Her goal is to normalize the conversation around clutter to address the stigmas associated, and lessen feelings of shame, guilt and overwhelm. Decluttering and Deschooling Jaycel joined Tira Hunter and myself for a discussion on decluttering our homeschool. This conversation brought us deep into the idea that decluttering is not just about our physical space. Decluttering, like Deschooling, is tied to our mental and emotional space. The lines of decluttering and deschooling are interwoven with the idea of letting go of beliefs that have served us for a certain time or purpose but that may no longer fit with our core values. These two practices are deeply tied to society and cultural expectations and the narratives we carry. We stress that there is no right and wrong. It's all a part of the journey. In This Episode In this episode our wonderful conversation explores: Decluttering and Values- Our values informs everything that we bring into our lives and what we hold on to. The first step to decluttering (and deschooling) begins with our core values and belief system Are you a homeschool resource hoarder? Why is it so hard to let go of our kids old artwork? Why is it so hard to let go of clutter. How do we know what is meaningful and what to let go of? Tips on organizing and decluttering your space Defining Clutter The relationship between overconsumption, procrastination and clutter Large family? So Many things? Overwhelmed? Will the family be part of the process? What are the tools to make it easier. Setting Physical and Emotional Boundaries Maintaining emotional ground zero with other peoples stuff The difference between hoarding and collecting What's Your Clutter Story? So what's your clutter story? What practices and expectations not longer match your core values? What are your core values? Ashley Stuart also joined our conversation. She is a speaker, Professional Organizer and Author. You can find both Jaycel and Ashley on the Clubhouse app on The Dear Clutter Show in The Dear Clutter Club.

Depois de Golias visitar, inesperadamente, sua mãe, em Varginha, vários problemas foram solucionados. Porém, no caminho de volta, Ceiça apareceu, dizendo que homens apareceram no acampamento e levaram nosso amigo Zoi de Gato. Entretanto, durante todo esse tempo, os inimigos do Pavio Curto tinham uma coisa em comum, as roupas sagradas. Ceiça disse que os homens não a usavam. Um deles, inclusive, mandou um recado para Horácio, dizendo para encontrá-lo em casa. Horácio sabe que, terá que voltar até a sua cidade para ver quem é o homem, e o que ele quer na sua cidade.

O acampamento foi surpreendido pela chegada de um menino. Desconfiados, os Pavio Curto estavam certos em estar com o pé atrás em relação à um menino se aproximando no meio da noite. Do horizonte, foram pegos de surpresa pela Bispa Leviana e seus vários homens. Conseguiram fugir, mas por pouco. Zoi de Gato sugere irem até a cidade de Bom Fim, que é relativamente distante, mas que possuem contas a acertar.

Supporting Passions and Unschooling to Adulthood The Hunter family began their unschooling journey over 9 years ago. Tira Hunter says that "the benefits of unschooling put her daughter on a path to have a career in art and the freedom to pursue her passions on her own terms." Zoi Hunter is now 19 years old and a full-time commissioned artist. Zoi and her mother, Tira joined me on this episode to talk about their path to unschooling. They also share what they were able to reclaim along the way. Supporting Passions and Unschooling to Adulthood- What You'll Hear In This Episode You'll probably notice as you listen to this episode that Tira is a friend of mine. We met online and became fast friends, sharing our fears, joys and continuous Deschooling with each other. As moms to Unschooled teens that are extremely focused on personal passions, we connected. Knowing Tira and Zoi's journey, I was excited that they came on the show. Their story is so real and inspiring that I know parents will appreciate hearing it. And to hear them share this story together makes it even more impactful. "I was a nervous wreck." Tira keeps it real. She is extremely honest about the struggles and fears she has had on this journey. As she says, the person in their family that had the hardest time Deschooling was.. her. In this episode you'll hear their story from Academic public school to unschooling. Actually, their path went from public school to "school at home" homeschooling to unschooling. Tira did what many of us do, repeat what we know, even if it is no longer serving us. What we know is usually school. It wasn't until they were absolutely miserable that Zoi's dad suggested a change. Tira scaled back, stepped back and tried this unschooling thing. Zoi was ready for change. You'll hear how and why self directed learning was the best match for her, how it shifted their family dynamic and helped Tira to let go of her "schoolish" ideas. But How Do Grown Unschoolers Actually Find A Job Or Get Into College? Tira shares a wonderful story in this episode of when Unschooling finally "clicked" for her. She saw her apply what she was doing to life. Zoi had a task to complete and found an ingenious solution to a problem on her own because of the time she had to experiment, research and test. (The Dish Soap Story ;) ) From there, the time and space Zoi had allowed her to explore art. And Zoi's interest in Art and creating took off. Art became Zoi's passion, her full circle unschooling journey. Zoi and Tira share how art has been Zoi's path to business and the broader world. We talk about the steps and mentors she has found along the way and the opportunities that opened up for her through unschooling. Zoi certainly did not follow a traditional path, but that did not hold her back. By stepping out of the traditional path Zoi was able to flourish. If you are interested in unschooling or want to learn more about unschooling as your children get into their older years, this episode is for you. I also recommend the episode Supporting Passions and Unschooling In The Teen Years that features my son and his journey following his passions in unschooling and where it is taking him.

Conscious Parenting & Deschooling Re-examining how we live, learn and parent. Welcome to episode 116. This episode is a recording of my December Clubhouse room with Tira Hunter, Erika Kessliman and Missy Willis. Our theme ~ Conscious Parenting and Deschooling goes deeper into our journey of learning and self refelction. Tira Hunter is an unschooling mom to 18 year old Zoi. Tira decided to homeschool Zoi part way through elementary school and after trying to replicate school at home with misery, they found the path to unschooling. With unschooling, Zoi was able to exercise her independence and creativity. Zoi works as a commissioned artist and is currently writing her own comic. Tira is an advocate for the deschooling process. Erica Kesilman is an unschooling mom to 3 children, ages 2, 5 & 7. She is a previous public school educator and is now a certified conscious parenting coach. She feels that conscious parenting and reflection is a necessary part of the deschooling process. Missy Willis is an unschooling mom to her 2 children, ages 19 and 14. They have unschooled for 13 years and counting. She is a former teacher and now supports parents through her writing and conversations at Let 'em Go Barefoot. Deschooling~ A quick definition I define deschooling as the concept of living life and learning outside of the ideas of the traditional institution of school. The idea of learning and school is often synonymous. The belief that is supported is that learning is only done within the walls of the classroom and top down with certain people. Instead we start to look at learning as an internal process, inclusive with community, at different times and stages. Living and learning comes together. Getting comfortable with allowing learning to happen in a different way than we have done it. In This Episode This episodes shares personal reflections from 3 parents that found their way to unschooling and why deschooling has been such an important part of their family's transition from school. This is what you will hear in this episode.... Words that defined our conversation- flexibility, retooling, space, wisdom, power, sovereignty, respect, self worth, trust, connection, worthiness, intentions, values, genius, agency and relationship. What is deschooling and why is it important? What is conscious parenting Conscious parenting practices Where do our beliefs come from? Replicating school at home- School think vs Unschooling & Homeschooling Looking at our values as a family Why homeschooling is nothing like school Exploring freedom for our children and for ourselves What to do when your partner is not on the same page of the deschooling process?

October 20 marks exactly seven years since Meduza's launch. And October 23 will mark six months since our newsroom was labeled a "foreign agent." We at Meduza consider this status discriminatory and unlawful -- and we've strived to draw our readers' attention to the impact of ending up on Russia's "foreign agent" registry. In this endeavor, we've had the help of many contemporary artists. Most recently, a well-known, international fashion photographer who goes by the pseudonym Zoi shot photos of Meduza's "foreign agent" merch. Meduza employees and their friends also took part in the shoot. Here are the results. Original Article: https://meduza.io/en/feature/2021/10/20/moving-the-needle

In this episode, I will be chatting with veteran unschooling mom, Tira Hunter. Unschooling is a form of homeschooling that in the past has been misunderstood. I've heard it said that “unschooling is unparenting”. In this episode, we are shattering that misconception and showing how unschooling may actually be the future of education in that it gives kids the freedom to explore topics that interest them and empowers them to develop their passions. Tira will share how unschooling empowered her daughter Zoi, now a homeschool graduate, to become a talented artist and creative, who became a commissioned artist at 13 years old.I invite you to check out Tira's daughter Zoi on Instagram @artbyZoi and on Facebook @Zoi the Creative

  Welcome or welcome back to the uncomfortable is OK podcast. I'm your host Chris Desmond and this is the show where I chat with fascinating people who have faced down the Uncomfortable. We hear their stories and jump into the strategies they've used for getting uncomfortable. Over the last couple of week's I've appeared as a guest on a couple of other podcasts, The Willosophy podcast, and It's no secret with Dr T. It's been an interesting and uncomfortable experience being on the other side of the microphone and having questions asked of me. Thankfully after having over 70 conversations with people on this podcast I've probably got enough to say to fill up half an hour or so. Being a guest on someone else's podcast to talk about getting uncomfortable has given me a greater appreciation of story telling. Being able to impart your viewpoint and experience through story is such an important skill, but also a difficult one to master. It makes me appreciate today's guest, Eric Hodgdon even more. A few years ago Eric went through the trauma of his daughter Zoi's suicide. Thankfully I have never been placed in a situation like that, and I struggle to comprehend what it must have been like. It's a tough topic that not many people seem willing to speak about so I'm grateful that Eric is opening up about his experiences. After going through his grieving process Eric realised that he needed to find his way back to better days, and to help those around him to do the same. That's what this conversation is mainly focussed on, Eric's grieving, his pathway back to better days and living a life where he is thriving again, and how he is helping others to do the same. Suicide is a tough topic, especially here in New Zealand and if you're thinking about it then even though it may not seem like it at the moment, that things are going to get better. Reach out and talk to someone you trust. I've put a list of numbers you can call in New Zealand in the notes for the show, a quick Google search brings up a raft of contacts in other countries too, please get in touch with Eric or with myself if you need to talk. For those of you who have been impacted by suicide, it will also get better, listen to Eric's story as he tells us how his life did. In this conversation Eric and I kick it off by talking about some concepts about getting uncomfortable, I was checking the sound levels and then the conversation just seemed to go, so it may not seem to flow like some of the other episodes. Thank you to Traver Boehm for introducing me to Eric. Please share this episode out with people you think may get value from it. Thank you for getting uncomfortable with Eric and me today. • LIFELINE: 0800 543 354 (available 24/7) • SUICIDE CRISIS HELPLINE: 0508 828 865(0508 TAUTOKO) (available 24/7) • YOUTHLINE: 0800 376 633 • NEED TO TALK?
