82. Tuesday Truths: Self-Compassion, Choices & Breaking Cycles with Natalie Beatty

In this powerful Tuesday Truths episode, Andrew reflects on the profound insights from his conversation with Natalie Beatty—a journey from teaching burnout to therapeutic transformation.

Drawing from their shared experiences in education, Andrew unpacks the critical truths that emerged: self-compassion isn't selfish, it's survival. Resilience and vulnerability aren't opposites—they're partners in healing. And the choices we make today have the power to break generational cycles tomorrow.

This episode explores how childhood experiences shape our adult patterns, why emotional intelligence belongs at the heart of education, and the daily practices that sustain us through demanding seasons. From mindfulness and nutrition to recognising our triggers and making intentional life changes, these truths offer a roadmap for anyone feeling stuck, burnt out, or ready to rewrite their story. Whether you're an educator, parent, or simply someone navigating mental health challenges, these insights will remind you that transformation begins with the courage to choose differently.
