That’s me in the hard hat, in front of the bucket of a terrifyingly enormous digger.
What you can’t really tell from the picture is that my head was spinning.
I’d just had one of those moments that change your life forever. It would set me off on a journey around the world…🧵

Look at Mona’s beautiful Miro.
This was a huge day. Facilitating conversations within unwieldy domains is challenging, exhausting and rewarding - I learnt and processed a lot. Hence the strange (central bank flavoured) dreams the following night.
Last week team @irisandbirch w @suzyGlass & @Kachel facilitated a whole day event w @CassieRobinson & @SophieMcKec for Partners for New Economy 🐝
We dropped in 70+ dandelions to a Miro board and hosted many important conversations about transforming our economy 🌼
Anyone know any built environment specialists with sustainability experience who might be interested in opportunities to ead complex systems and transformation programmes? Please share. https://t.co/7nw2Ob9rMT

Kate & I have been squirrelling away for the past few months, designing & building the 103 Ventures approach to systems & transformation. Here’s a big photo of my face, so now it’s official. https://t.co/zC6vjD2WZu
It’s so hard parenting when, for whatever reason, you weren’t able to learn & apply foundational things in childhood. Therapy is crucial: it’s helped me work out how to do this stuff, & in turn how to co-regulate w my small people. This is a great thread >>>
Parents who've experienced trauma might need coaching on self regulation, extra support, and consistent practice of coping skills in order to teach their children self regulation. These parents have a more difficult time attuning to their child's needs.
It’s been v rewarding contributing in a small way to the work that Leah’s building. I’ve met many good people, all trying to emerge something fit for purpose into this corner of the world.

Wow. “And when I take all of that stuff that I-choose-to-pay-for-but-am-treating-as-compulsory away, I’ve only got c £150k as my basic take home, which is pretty miserable, right? Right?? I’m virtually destitute.” Jesus.
@ImmyKaur@sca_net @DrAdelePatrick Oh my goodness. I feel like my self from the past and my self from the present are hanging out together in so many of these pictures Immy. (Hi Adele.) With @CassieRobinson in a few of them.
@LornaPrescott_ @MonaEbdrup@byngtown @danielyep @ImmyKaur@CassieRobinson@Huddlecraft@Kachel Are you definitely sharing the public web link rather than the page link Lorna? Another thought: could firewalls be blocking access for specific users - ie can they access any Notion pages, or are they locked out of the whole estate?
