S2 Ep22: The SKILL of building transformative VALUE
Every time you try to “do it right,” for a system, you have to abandon what you know in your body. The SKILL I talk about in this episode is the skill of building SELF-DETERMINED value. This is the skill of being able to discern in your body what is actually right for you and your work and your people. There are cultural hybridities vantage points insights and ideas strengths uncommon or marginal knowledges that are calling you to SEE them as value. This...

S2 Ep21: The Cost of Contortion V Capacity Gains of Coherence
If you are someone who has learned that you have to manage your energy, your protective vigilance around your energy will be high. This relationship with your energy treats it like a finite resource that gets emptied. And needs a lot of space and time to drip back up into adequacy. It's the relationship of: managing the cost of contortion. Creating more energy, more capacity is the work of aligning your life structures with your actual truth and value. _______________ Transcript: https://www.solasystems.xyz/s/021

S2 Ep20: Low Belief to High Conviction
The ability to exercise CHOICE in what reality you operate in, and how you respond, is a kind of freedom. Not freedom from accountability. But freedom to be in integrity with what you *actually* most value. In the first of four 'bridge' episodes (from this podcast to the next!), I speak to how starting with low belief is just part of the work. And what the experience is like, when a practiced belief gathers enough evidence to reach a crescendo of conviction; A "leap of faith" becomes available! _______________ T...

"The art world is so opaque and it really doesn't provide a lot of feedback or clear communication. So many processes are difficult to navigate, I think, probably for most people. And then for someone like me, who really needs to understand the whole process, why things are happening, it's just so difficult to access. and because there was a sense of scarcity and precarity, we didn't really feel stable. Like we just had to keep working and overworking to prove ourselves..." This week on the Unmasking Unschool podcast, I speak with artists Mia Rushton and...

Andrea joined Unmasking Unschool in 2023 after a burnout that coincided with realising her neurodivergence, and led to the decision to review every aspect of her life, from the inside out.

Today's Unmasking Unschool podcast episode is about a common form of static that can mess with your sense of self corrupt the flow of energy corral your actions into contortions. That static in your sense of self is: Over-identifying with your habitual ACTIONS.

S2 Ep10: Over-identifying with your environment
Your level of self-belief that YOU can • create the creative / rebellious / outstanding / impactful / world-changing / unique visions, projects, services that you dream of • BE YOURSELF and make life work at the same time • experience your FULL self as lovable, seen, enough... that belief level is directly correlated to what your environment (your social, economic, physical context) reflects about WHO you currently are and how much that aligns with inner self. How much the IDENTITY you crafted in response to that environment, actually supports you BEING who you are.

S2 Ep9: Strengthening a porous sense of self
In this week's Unmasking Unschool PODCAST episode I speak to my experiences of having a porous sense of self. The artistic sensibilities and energetic sensitivities that this gifted me but also, how much my journey has been about CREATING and building an ego; developing an individuated, distinct, felt experience of my own boundaried limits so that I'm not LOST in other people. In their gaze, and their energy, and their agenda. WHAT I represent to others (autistic / adhd / etc) matters less than: I experience that I exist.

Imposter syndrome feels be like: You're not supposed to be here! That's not yours! Who do you think you are? Who asked you? You're not good enough! You don't know enough yet! But is it true? Sometimes, its just a product of industry bias; narrow paths to a position of recognised expertise; ~isms presented as meritocracy.

S2 Ep6: Make your dreams real by Skills Stacking for monotropism + distinction depth
Like many late-identified autistic / AuDHD / ADHD folks, a foggy, porous, unstructured sense of self; illusions, fantasies, pipe dreams... was my predominant experience of myself, until I learned to take EFFECTIVE, STRUCTURED ACTION. That action has to be structured a certain way for it to be effective. I couldn't do things the way other people did them nor follow their ideals, without losing myself.
