We Reflect & Move - Season Finale!

🎧 In this special season finale, Jack and Mo take a breath and look back on everything Season 1 has offered — the guests who’ve inspired us, the conversations that lingered long after recording, and the unexpected ways the podcast has taken root in people’s lives. 👟 From thought tickles to meal deals and Matrix confessions, it’s a warm, human episode full of laughter, learning and honest reflections on what it means to create spaces of belonging in education. 💬 We talk openly about Ofsted, shame, curiosity, and connection. We also look ahead to Season 2 — the guests we’re excited to invite, the stories we want to hear, and the voices we’re still curious to include. ❤️ This one’s a love letter to the listeners, guests and communities who’ve joined us on this journey. Thank you for being here. We can’t wait for what’s next.

We're Still Here! - Episode 6 (with guest Janelle Brindle)

What do spy disguises, UNO cards and critical thinking have to do with supporting care-experienced young people? In this thoughtful conversation with values-driven leader Janelle Brindle, we explore the messy, human realities behind the systems that shape young people’s lives. From supported accommodation to school exams, we reflect on the disjointed transitions at 16 and 18—and what happens when services work in silos. We talk about what really builds belonging, and why connection often starts in the small, quiet places. Like a lunchtime game of UNO. Or the space to fail safely in a creative subject. Or the moment someone says, “I’ve got you”. 💬 Why creativity isn’t a ‘nice to have’—it’s an essential part of care. 🎲 What UNO cards can teach us about presence, play and trust. 👂🏽 Why listening with genuine curiosity can change a young person’s future. This episode is a gentle but urgent reminder that relationships shape outcomes—and that being a champion for a child is never wasted work.

We Need Nurture! - Episode 5 (with guests Dr Suus Harskamp & Arti Sharma)

In this heartfelt conversation, Jack and Maureen are joined by Arti Sharma, CEO of Nurture UK, and Dr. Suus-anna Harskamp, an educator and inclusion specialist, to explore why a nurture-led approach in education isn’t a ‘nice to have’—it’s essential.

From the six principles that underpin Nurture UK's approach to the impact on student wellbeing, learning, staff retention and community connection—this episode is rich with lived experience, practical insights and powerful reminders of what matters most in our schools. Whether you’re new to the idea of nurture or already a passionate advocate, this episode will leave you feeling inspired and reconnected to the heart of inclusive education. 🎧 Topics include:• The six principles of nurture and how they shape practice• Why nurture is not an ‘intervention’ but a foundational approach• The ripple effect on staff wellbeing, student connection and school culture• What secondary schools gain from adopting a nurture lens• Practical ideas you can try tomorrow to build connection 🍎 “Nurture is not rocket science. But it takes time, commitment and a belief that all children—and all adults—deserve to feel safe, seen and supported.”

We Carry Shame - Episode 4 (with guest Meg Hughes)

What if the shame a child carries isn’t about what they’ve done, but about who they think they are? In this deeply moving episode, Jack and Maureen are joined by psychotherapist and former teacher Meg Hughes for an honest conversation about shame in school systems, the weight it places on children, and what it really takes to create environments where young people feel seen, heard and accepted. Meg shares powerful stories from her work in schools, explores the difference between guilt and shame, and reflects on how adults can either unknowingly reinforce shame or gently help to unpick it. Together, they ask: how can we create schools that don’t just respond to trauma, but actively reduce the conditions that produce it? This one will sit with you long after you’ve listened. 🛑 A quick heads up: this episode contains a small section of strong language around the 55-minute mark, kept in for authenticity.
