Neil Hopkins (He/Him)Happy #friday!
As is to celebrate, @louisew & I have just released our latest #HelloYou #Podcast episode!
It's a deep one. Deeper than I expected.
Yes, we talk about #barbie. Yes we talk about hidden messages on boiled #eggs.
We get into #Business #mentoring & #menteeship - it's creating some amazing things for Louise.
We also talk about the pleasure & pain of being both #Generalist and #Polymath folks.
And that, for me, is where it gets deep. I've never spoken about the pain of Generalism before.
To be fair, I've only recently started thinking about it in detail. But the pain associated with trying to cram all of the things into my brain, as well as navigate work & being human...
It was a revelation - and I would love to hear from anyone who has similar experiences...
Thank you to Louise for holding a space where I could explore into it... Something to continue reflecting on...
Please do have a listen in - there are gasps and giggles in equal measure all of the way through!
Episode 28 - Diving down and breaking boxes by Hello You Podcast
Wait - episode 28? Already? OK, so it's been a hot minute since we last recorded. 'Busy' and 'Adulting' are mentioned... But that's not stopped our verve for chat - and is there ever a lot to catch up on! We start in the realms of business, mentoring and a rather exciting new proposition Louise is working on. We reminisce about an afternoon in a basement flat (there is a point), before going further down into the intersectional feminist masterpiece that is the Barbie Movie. Allan is the unsung hero, for reasons that we explain! We navigate moments of blonde fragility and rupture, before going under the surface again to address the pleasure - and pain - of being Generalists. A bit of Rousseau, a bit of egg-based communication and we resurface for air, giggling and gasping in almost equal measure. More detail, of course, in the shownotes - but for the full experience, wrap yourself up in something comfy put on a fresh pot of tea and dive into Episode 28. The Salon is open and you're very, very welcome.
