Wednesdays are for walking :)
Horses are large, social, emotional, flight-prone and yet connected animals. Tundra likes to come into my space when she’s insecure about what’s going on. Much like kids or adults who may be relying…
Thawing...
A big part of safer means not just objective safety, but the perception that I’m safe. Or at least, safe enough. Fight or flight (or freeze, or fawn) are states of being that can solidify into days,…
Transforming Spaces: Lynn interviews Lee-Anne Hood
Lee-Anne and I have worked closely in the area of inclusive education for the last 8 years. Here Lee-Anne is able to describe how she views inclusion through the lens of teaching a very full…
Transforming Spaces: Lynn interviews Dan Lundell
Yes, Dan is Lynn's husband, and co-owner/operator of Attic Therapy, the business behind One Hard Thing. It seemed appropriate to start with the most inclusive person I know, in all the best senses.…
Transforming Spaces: Lynn interviews herself first, to be fair!
Inclusion is not an academic or professional or political word. It is deeply personal, moral, and foundational to a just society. This season will focus on conversations with individuals who each…
Transforming Spaces: Season 2 Introduction
Welcome back to One Hard Thing! This season I will be talking with individuals about their sense of safety, and how it relates to choice, connection, and opening doors. Humans are unique and powerful…
Untangling Science from Stories and Finding Subjective Truth
This wraps up Season 1! It by no means untangles everything but it's time to pause and start to bring in other perspectives. I want to set this up by celebrating the uniqueness, and irreplaceable…
Untangling the Size of the Problem from our Fear of Scarcity (or the Size of our Pockets?)
It is hard to match resources to problems that we already know are too large to handle. However, calibrating the "size of the problem" accurately, and proportionate to our need for safety before all…
Untangling the Safety Nets from the Silos, and Supporting the Whole Village
Structures are very useful, and function very well when defined, and able to store and use resources. However, in the world of children, structures that function more like silos are a difficult…
Untangling Outrage from Our Perspective (Structures, Processes, and People are not the Problem)
It is so easy to direct moral judgement outwards towards solutions that seem hopelessly archaic or even immoral. Trying to reduce the level of judgement by differentiating structures (which…
Untangling Subject from Object (or How NOT to Crash Into People!)
Our aim, it is said, actually organizes perception. We see the world as either a set of helps or hindrances to where we want to go. This isn't selfish, and it's not bad, but it is worth knowing. If…
Untangling Present Tension from the Present Tense (Or, Time is Not the Tyrant!)
It's always challenging to find aspects of problems we can control, and therefore use to our advantage. Time is most often viewed as a constraint rather than an opportunity. Let's question our…
Untangling Limitations by Separating Worth from "Weakness"
We all have limits, but we are often lacking in modelling as to how to deal with them without shame or denial. How we think about our own need for help or our own lack of adequate resources directly…
Untangling the Weight of Possible Outcomes from the Journey (or, Traveling Light)
We can really quickly make a joyful moment heavy with the weight of our wishes, hopes, dreams, and desires. Let's spend the time it takes really looking at what we want and then choosing one hard…
Untangling Double-binds through (the Power of) Gentleness
Complexity in inclusive settings often is a result of longstanding problems that haven't been resolved or even fully acknowledged. Starting to approach solutions with gentleness and respect for all…
Untangling Perspective through a Sense of Place
Children are not abstract; not general phenomena, and definitely not "normal." Neither are any of us who care for them. In thinking about complex issues it is helpful to be very clear on the…
Untangling Complexity: Season 1 Introduction
This podcast is for those of us trying hard to include all kids, everywhere. If you're passionate, but maybe a little tired, this podcast may be encouraging. Welcome, and enjoy.Intro/outro music…
