Janet Generally Speaking episodes

  • Inspire: A personal journey leads to innovation
    In this reflective episode of Janet Generally Speaking, Lauren Edmunds shares the personal journey that led her to create a child-led educational model for children with learning and behavioural challenges.

    Lauren opens up about parenting a child who struggled within the traditional school system, navigating denial and grief, and eventually building a school grounded in empathy, flexibility and holistic support.

    The conversation explores:
    Parenting children with diverse learning needs
    The emotional impact of educational diagnoses
    Why academic performance should not define identity
    The role of teachers beyond academics
    Building resilience through adversity
    Personal growth, grief and reinvention
    Books, climbing and finding motivation

    This episode is an honest and compassionate discussion about education, humanity and seeing the full child beyond marks and labels.
