The conversation begins with a humorous dialogue about the culture of giving directions in Ireland. Christine then reflects on recent conversations she’s had about feeling lost and the art of finding oneself, sharing insights she’s had from Blindboy, Anthony De Mello and Jim Fortin. She explores language, the etymology of "lost," the Dutch concept of "Niksen," and how the pandemic challenged people’s sense of direction, encouraging a re-evaluation of the meanings we assign to words and concepts.

Overview: In this episode, Christine looks at the relationship between language, identity, and communication, sharing a story about her night with Wu-Tang. She also tells us how the Irish language was “battered out of” people with a special type of stick. As you celebrate International Mother Language Day, reflect on the significance of languages in shaping our perceptions, experiences, and cultural heritage.
Christine Considers:
Language and Identity: Language is not just a means of communication; it is deeply intertwined with our sense of self. But when does language shape our identity? Is it only our “mother tongue” or do second languages play a part?International Mother Language Day: Originating from the sacrifices made in Bangladesh in 1952 to preserve their language, this day emphasises the importance of linguistic diversity and cultural heritage.Neuroscience of Language: Research in neuroscience reveals how language shapes our thoughts and perceptions. From colour perception to concepts of agency and ownership, language influences how we experience the world.Bilingualism and Identity: Bilingual professionals often face pressure to conform to native English standards. Embracing linguistic diversity fosters understanding and inclusivity.Challenging Linguistic Divides: It's crucial to challenge societal attitudes that undermine linguistic diversity. By opening conversations and embracing curiosity about different languages and cultures, we promote solidarity and tolerance.Core Identity: Despite language adaptations, does our core identity remain unchanged? It's the essence of who we are, often transcending linguistic boundaries.Support the Podcast: https://bit.ly/Connected_Communication

Christine explores the nature of external influence and its impact on our intuition and decision making. Reflecting on a statement by Robbie Williams, she examines linguistic changes led by young women, judgmental attitudes towards such changes, and the importance of connecting the heart and mind to determine our own path forward. Christine also draws connections between St. Brigid's Day, the goddess Brigid's protective legacy in Ireland, and the theme of external influence.
CHRISTINE DISCUSSES:
Robbie Williams' comment about the impact of media criticism on his mental health.The Goddess Brigid, protector and healer and the lessons in her legacy. Negative criticism of young women who use "influencer speak" like vocal fry. How babies learn speech rhythm - and why judgement is natural. How connecting the heart and mind helps us stand up for what’s right. The detrimental impact of allowing external influences to override our intuition.BEST MOMENTS
"We are in an age of evolution – an evolution of women."
"Press speak, or the things the press were saying, broke his trust in himself. Austin Powers might have called it losing his mojo."
"Teenagers are risk takers. They’ll create new slang words, use upspeak or vocal fry, and add new filler words like 'like' into conversations."
"As non-sentient AI overwhelms communication mediums, the language of the heart will become more important than ever."
"It is the great person who, in the midst of the crowd, keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude."
"However you find yourself influenced, may you be able to turn your eye inward and never allow external influences to f*ck up your intuition."

CHRISTINE & VALENTYNA DISCUSS
The complexity and realities of forensic linguistics.The emotional connection and identity tied to our mother tongue that influences learning and communication.The purpose of sociolinguistics studies.Why native speaker biases still dominate teaching approaches.How businesses can help transform language mindsets.Why Valentyna advocates for more humility and continuous self-questioning of the information we consume.BEST MOMENTS
"Some people would sometimes need psychological attention or some way to deal with that violence that they read about."
"If people don't identify with that language, you know, there's no connection then they're probably more likely to let it go and drop out."
"I have had to deal with a lot of English teachers, for example, that teach English, be it in here in Mexico or in other places. And even they still believe that they're not good enough at teaching English if they're not native speakers."
"It becomes a little more difficult, I think, for cultures to really stop, pause and evaluate."
"Going back to developing this humility on the personal level, I think is going to do all of us a lot, a lot of good."

In this episode, Christine explores the science behind why letting your mind wander leads to more creativity and insights, sharing her own experiences with pain and focus while walking the Camino de Santiago, and how distraction helped alleviate her discomfort. She explains the concept of "flipping the focus" to get unstuck from problems.
Just like Steve Jobs and Einstein, who had breakthrough ideas while daydreaming, we can all benefit our brains by zoning out every now and then!
CHRISTINE REVEALS:
Which parts of the brain daydreaming activates. How daydreaming helps form new connections in the brain.Why trying too hard to solve problems stops ideas from emerging, creating an 'impasse.'Why VETO power is necessary to generate insights, and how to shift the focus.What research shows is the best thing to visualise if we want to reduce the sensation of pain. The links between imagination, "alpha waves" and solution finding. The difference between people who can calm their minds on demand and intensely focused thinkers.BEST MOMENTS
"Thanks very much, boss. Can you shag off for a minute please? I’m staring into space."
"Think about it like this, right. You know when you’re in a conversation with somebody or you’re in a meeting and you're brain... (well brainstorming is a different topic actually because now research is finding that brainstorming is not the best way to come up with ideas because it puts pressure on the brain and creates, creates stress.)"
"Next time, walk away, give yourself a couple of minutes to calm down, move out of the conditioning and allow your brain to dream."

Listen as Joe and Christine dive into the power of choice, clarity of communication, tools to move through hardship, leaving a legacy, and the importance of self-talk and believing you can achieve anything.

In this episode, Christine discusses the differences between Boxing Day and St Stephen’s Day which both occur on the 26th of December. She then talks about who St Stephen was and why he is celebrated on the same day every year and recognised as the first Christian martyr. Christine also examines the custom of ‘hunting of the wren’ and the reasons behind this Irish tradition.
CHRISTINE DISCUSSES
Why St Stephen’s Day is observed in many Western cultures and the meaning of the holidayThe Irish custom associated with St Stephen's Day 'the hunting of the wren'It is thought Boxing Day comes from the act of giving boxes of money or food to servants or those less fortunate on the day after Christmas.What Boxing Day and St Stephen's Day mean in the modern dayThe mythology, folklore and storytelling around the wren including its ‘trickster’ nature It’s this nature of the wren that links it to St Stephen’s Day and the wren boys. The story states that it flapped its wings so he would be discovered and was then joyfully danced on the drums of the soldiers allowing Cromwell and his armies to escape to safety”Why the wren boys were founded to end the bad fortune caused by the wrenBEST MOMENTS
"He's recognised as the first Christian martyr”
“Boxing day is not directly tied to religion, or St Stephen”
“St Stephen’s Day was our second Christmas day”
“The wren is Irish, is a trickster, a cunning trickster”
“If ever there was treachery that was fu**ing it”

In this raw and candid solo episode, Christine boldly challenges the societal stigma around choosing to be childfree. She traces the history of childlessness across centuries, unpacking the complex reasons behind fluctuations in birth rates over time. From economics to women's rights and the evolution of marriage, Christine insightfully analyses the many factors at play and urges everyone to tune into their inner wisdom when making this profound life decision, rather than bowing to external pressures.
CHRISTINE REVEALS
Why she made an early decision not to have kids.The research and reasons behind why many choose to be child-free today.The truth about parenthood and expectations of the past.Why being childfree isn’t a selfish act.Her traumatic experiences with an abusive partner.The importance of your own personal internal support, not just building an external support network.BEST MOMENTS
"I am a nice person. I can be a c*nt, but I'm not a vicious, barren one."
"Having the external support system is an additional bolster. But when you're rocked by the judgment and ridicule that you will get, being able to fully support yourself on the inside is really important."
"Whatever the feeling settles within you as, that's how you decide."
"The body identifying the trauma and the emotional suppression inside of us that we don't listen to, or we won't listen to, and how it then gets shown on the body."
"If you are someone who's left and recently left and you're questioning yourself or you're asking yourself why you stayed and maybe being negative or mean to yourself, you stayed for loving reasons."
