Wonder & Wellbeing

Breaking up is challenging. Breaking up with kids involved can be really tough. In this week's episode, I reflect on how kids might respond when parents are separating/divorcing and the main ways to help them get through it. 

In this episode, we're talking motherhood, expatriate life and being authentic with Doha based Empowerment Coach Elizabeth Wood who left a career in PR & Marketing to open her own business in order to have a more balanced work-home life routine. She talks about her passion for coaching, why she views empowerment coaching as a way of life rather than a job, her thoughts on taming tantrums and why it's important for parents to love what they do.  To find out more about Elizabeth and the work she does with parents, teens and in the corporate world check out the InspireMe website.

As parents and educators, we want to protect our kids as much as possible. We don't want them to make the same mistakes we did. In this episode I reflect on some of the benefits of allowing our kids to make mistakes and how taking our attention away from some of the everyday mistakes they can learn from can allow us to focus on protecting them from more serious things such as abuse and exploitation.

In this episode, I caught up with Dr Louise Lambert Positive psychology researcher & program developer and Editor of the Middle East Journal of Positive Psychology. She gave some insight into using the science of positive psychology to help make organizations, schools and people happier! She has so many tips for schools, parents and members of senior leadership teams.  

Reflections on a hectic week, the realities of reconnecting with my son after being a working mum for a few years and why sometimes you just have to go and sit in the car to get yourself back on track. Leave your voice notes on how you cope when it all gets on top of you with your children or students and what would drive you to sit in a hot car for a bit of peace and order 7 Up at midnight!

He shared his tips on handling challenging students, balancing wellbeing and enjoying teaching more by adopting a coaching approach. Martin also talked about how his writing habit helps him to process and how his experiences with his teachers affected him-including one who licked his ears.
