episode Bespoke Mentoring: Supporting Every Young Person, Uniquely cover

Bespoke Mentoring: Supporting Every Young Person, Uniquely

What if the system meant to help kids actually pushes them away? And how do we support those who don’t fit the mould of mainstream education? In this episode, Chris East speaks with Chris Powell from Bespoke Mentoring - an organisation born from lived experience, supporting young people who’ve fallen through the gaps. Chris shares how his own school journey shaped his sixth sense for spotting emotional vulnerability, and why personalised, relationship-led support can change everything. Every young person is different, and so is the support they need. Bespoke Mentoring helps young people uncover barriers, rebuild trust, and find their path forward.

episode Burnout: My Fault Or My Choice? cover

Burnout: My Fault Or My Choice?

What if burnout isn’t just a side effect of your job - but of your thinking? In this episode of The Balloon Crew Podcast, Chris East chats with Jane Reason to rethink everything we know about burnout. Drawing from her own experience, Jane challenges the idea that burnout is inevitable in demanding roles like education, healthcare, and beyond. What if burnout doesn’t need to exist at all? What if we could choose a different response? Jane explores how our environment, our thinking, and the stories we tell ourselves shape how we experience pressure and exhaustion. Together, they ask: Is it our fault, or is it our choice? What happens when we take off the ‘thought goggles’ and see more of what’s possible? This episode is a compassionate, thought-provoking invitation to step back, get curious, and see burnout in a whole new way. Jane is revolutionising self and system leadership through her Leadership Tree and Transformational Coaching.

Get Real Sessions: Rethinking Sex Education

What really shapes our views on sex education - and are schools getting it right? In this episode, Chris East dives into a raw and real conversation with Becky Blackledge, Founder of 'Get Real Sessions', about why inclusive, age-appropriate sex education is so crucial for young people today. They explore how personal experiences shape our views on sex ed, and why it needs to go beyond biology - covering healthy relationships, consent, online life, and self-identity. Becky shares how her four-part programme helps schools meet statutory guidance while making space for meaningful conversations that prepare young people for life.

Liker at det er både Podcaster (godt utvalg) og lydbøker i samme app, pluss at man kan holde Podcaster og lydbøker atskilt i biblioteket.
Bra app. Oversiktlig og ryddig. MYE bra innhold⭐️⭐️⭐️
