All About YEW

Today's conversation is with my own and only mother, Bernadette Mc Keown. 

Bernadette studied Philosophy and Psychology, before pursuing HDip training to become a primary school teacher. Bernadette is a retired primary school teacher, and one of the most impressive people at engaging with young people that I have ever witnessed. Widowed at age 42, Bernadette went on to raise 4 successful children, and continues to care for them and her grandchildren. 

Without Bernadette's love, care, and kindness, I wouldn't be here today. I wouldn't be able to do any of the things I do. I am in awe of my mother's achievements, her wisdom, and her boundless love. This boundless love is on display every day, and shines through in this conversation.

For all the wonderful things you do, thank you Mam.

I'd love to see your reaction to this conversation. Please reach out to me on Instagram @allaboutYEW, comment underneath this episode on the All About YEW YouTube channel, message me on Twitter @PatsPsychMSc. I can relay all messages for Bernadette to her.

In the 2nd episode of my special series on Viktor Frankl's Man's Search For Meaning, I discuss the differences between real vs imagined experience and the relativity of suffering.

This is the first in a series of podcasts I will be sharing that discuss and critique some of the ideas found in Viktor Frankl's 1946 book "Man's Search For Meaning".  In this podcast I discuss the phenomena of the "delusion of reprieve" and "apathy".

Grace O Rourke is an absolute champion. Literally! She came to prominence this year as co-winner of RTE's hell week along with Des Seepersad.

She has a very diverse experience – from her professional, sporting, personal and TV life. We discuss this experience and how it has informed her emotional wellbeing.

Follow her on Instagram @graceor_ and LinkedIn where she is most active. Check out her website graceorourke.com

Ciaran is a teacher in St Patricks Classical School Navan, which for me makes his forthcomingness all the more important and impressive. Many young people are struggling emotionally in todays’ world, and it’s of utmost importance that we have teachers like Ciaran leading the pack with #NothingToHide 

We discuss why Ciaran wanted to become a teacher, his memories from school, his personal versus his professional lifestyle, the first time he felt emotionally unwell, the ease with which he expresses himself, the first time he went to counselling, cyber bullying and much more.
