________________________

In this episode of This is HCD, I speak with Mike Parker about Liminal Coaching — a practice grounded in cognitive science that uses intentional daydreaming to help people unlock clarity, creativity, and direction.
We explore the role of the default mode network in the brain and how it becomes active during daydreaming — something most of us were taught to avoid, but that might actually be key to problem-solving and breakthrough thinking.
There’s also a special live session led by Mike — a short guided liminal moment — designed to help you feel more grounded and clear in just a few minutes. If you’re working in a high-pressure environment or navigating complex challenges, this is one to try.

________________________
In this unfiltered and deeply reflective episode, Gerry Scullion speaks with Lee Moreau – architect, educator, and founder of Other Tomorrows – about the state of design amidst global turbulence. From their shared love of architecture to podcasting as a tool for oral history, Lee opens up about why designers must brace for impact, embrace discomfort, and use their skills to care for one another. Together, they discuss the intersection of politics, design education, and the urgency of building alternative futures.

3 Key Takeaways:
Design isn’t just about outputs; it’s our human response to change and uncertainty.
Podcasting is a form of oral history, especially vital in documenting human-centred design.
The next wave of designers must be politically awake, resilient, and community-driven.

We speak with Suzanne Hanway, an occupational therapist from Dublin with 28 years of experience. Suzanne discusses her journey into occupational therapy, the focus on daily life aspects, and the impact on illness, disability, or neurodivergence. The conversation delves into neurodivergence, advocating for a unified term and emphasising acceptance. Suzanne highlights challenges faced by neurodivergent individuals in accessing services and the importance of strong connections between parents, schools, and therapists. The discussion covers the prevalence of neurodivergence, societal understanding shifts, and Suzanne's emphasis on a holistic, body-based approach, including movement breaks. The podcast concludes with Suzanne advocating for tighter policies, standards, and structured training to enhance collaboration in supporting neurodivergent individuals.
A really interesting one, particularly for those with an interest or any personal links to neurodiversity. Enjoy!
