Hello Creators, 

In today's episode, I'll talk to Elia, the early childhood development teacher, who'll share with us how to nurture our kids' authentic identity and learning by doing.

They say that your brain develops the fastest from birth to 7 years old and that sets you up for life. So why do we often dismiss this period of life as something insignificant? Children build their response foundations based on the external messaging and if it's full of shame, restrain and control, they'll repeat the bad patterns as adults.

You'll learn why it's essential to invest in a good preschool as opposed to high school or college, why problem-solving and resilience are better skillsets than ABCs or numbers, and finally how to build healthy boundaries and a safe environment to express emotions.

Today’s episode is special as I’ll be under the rapid-fire of questions of my co-host Marie who would dive into my personal journey with the big milestone of hitting 30!

You’ll find out about my creativity hacks, a journey towards authenticity, and shameless beginner’s mind. Last but not least, you’ll hear about my childhood aspirations of writing poems for dead pigeons, why I enjoy being opinionless, and how to embrace being “the work in progress”.

Hello, Creators!

Here's my take on the phenomenon that has been a bit of a buzzword in the field so I decided to share my personal experiences on the topic to shed more light on what it means to embody  HSP and HSS at the same time. 

According to the latest studies,  every fourth to fifth child or adult across the world is considered a High Sensitive Individual.  Those who are highly sensitive have a well-developed nervous system - in fact, the study confirmed that more areas light up in the brain of an HSP subjected to the same stimulus as compared to the regular individual. This might explain the qualities associated with it: depth of processing, creative/divergent thinking, emotional intensity but also the risk of overstimulation.

30% of High Sensitive People also embody quite a contrasting trait to it - High Sensation Seeking. It was in the 1960s when Marvin Zuckerman came across an interesting phenomenon in his study on human behavior in sensory deprivation tanks; a distinct group of people reacted badly to lack of stimulus. It was further researched that these individuals constantly balance between the state of anxiety and boredom and optimal arousal is somewhere in between. The ever-present need for thrill or novelty is a matter of survival.

In today's episode, you'll find out how to identify if you belong to one of these two groups, how the experience has been working out for me so far and finally, how to deal with this split personality in regular life.

Have you ever considered a career change? According to a study, every 5 years a skill set you have built becomes obsolete. By the time you graduate from school, what you learned in your first year is already losing some of its value.  Why soft skills and adaptability is the new cool kid on the block? Why it's never too late to start learning? Join me and Gavin in our discussion about his journey of becoming a front-end developer where we debunk the myth about coding and reskilling.  Happy listening!
