Transcribe →10 years! (plus one)
Jun 1, 202500:35:03Tap to summarizeOn June the 1st, 2025, AccessTheStory celebrated its 10th anniversary. We were a year too late as we were established in 2014, but it was worth waiting to celebrate 10 years well.As part of the celebration we held an afternoon tea for our supporters to be celebrated. At this event we set up 7 stations presenting our 5 current projects - Junktion, Verge, SoulWalk, Converge, and Resolute Love. Each of the stations included a 3-7 minute podcast telling the story of each project.We’ve pieced all of those bits of commentary together to provide another space for our ATS radio community to celebrate.Enjoy!
Transcribe →Reframing the Gray Zone
Dec 2, 202400:16:28Tap to summarizeI've just picked up Mark Sayers' book 'a non-anxious presence' for a second read, and it's truer now than it was two years ago. The need to understand what it means to lead from the 'gray zone' - from the in-between - continues to be super-relevant. I'm wondering what it looks like for me as I pick up some unfinished business in my own leadership.
Transcribe →Stories and Parables
Feb 20, 202400:20:09Tap to summarizeI've always loved telling stories. Pictures in our minds capture the imagination in a way that moves us to response. In my opinion, a parable trumps data and lecture any day. This episode gives commentary around the value of story in the realm of mental health, and interacts with three parables I've been working on: "A hundred dollars"; "Peach Stones and the Tree of Life.", and; "Elvis in the Judean Foothills".

Transcribe →A 2024 roadmap
Feb 6, 202400:11:54Tap to summarizePulling back the curtain on some of my planning for the Resolute Love project this year. It feels a bit like I'm building the plane as it prepares for take-off, but perhaps that's the nature of innovation! These are some of my 2024 priorities as I grapple with the question of how my own experiences and skills intersect with the needs of parents supporting young people.
