  • UK Child Protection: Grooming | Safeguarding Failures | What Schools Aren’t Telling Parents | AEM #157
    Apr 10 2026

    In episode 157 of An Evolving Man, I speak with Kimberly Isherwood and Joan Ginsberg from Public Child Protection Wales.

    Together we explore one of the most urgent and difficult issues in modern society: how we genuinely protect children from harm.

    Kimberly and Joan share why Public Child Protection Wales was founded, what they see happening on the ground in education and safeguarding, and why they believe many current systems are not adequately protecting children.

    We discuss grooming, institutional abuse, safeguarding blind spots, disclosure, adult responsibility, and the cultural reluctance to speak honestly about the realities children can face.

    We also touch on boarding schools, neglect, attachment, and why child protection must begin with better informed adults, not simply new policies on paper.

    This is a sobering but deeply important conversation for parents, teachers, safeguarding professionals, and anyone who cares about children’s wellbeing.

    This episode reflects the views and concerns of the guests based on their research, experience and campaigning work.

    To buy tickets for the Glastonbury screening on 18th April 6.30-9pm or to share it: https://www.tickettailor.com/events/goodwillinactiontopreventsuicidecio/2140155

    In this short video, I’m sharing some reflections and inviting you to a special screening of our documentary Boarding on Insanity on April 18th in Glastonbury.

    This feels like a full-circle moment, as we return to the very retreat centre where part of the documentary was filmed.

    This will be more than just a screening — it’s an opportunity to come together, reflect, and have an open conversation about boarding school, trauma, leadership, and the wider impact these experiences may have on society.

    We’ll also explore questions such as:

    • How does childhood trauma shape leadership?
    • What is the true impact of boarding school on emotional development?
    • Why is neglect often overlooked, despite its profound effects?
    • Can healing happen more effectively in groups?

    If you’re nearby or feel called to this conversation, I would love to see you there.

    Date: April 18th
    Location: Glastonbury
    Doors open: 6:30pm

  • Childhood Trauma, Identity & Emotional Truth | AEM #156 Christopher J Wesley
    Apr 3 2026

    In Episode 156 of An Evolving Man, I speak with Christopher J. Wesley — artist, speaker, and emotional leadership thinker — about trauma, identity, and emotional truth in a world shaped by pressure, performance, and algorithms.

    Christopher shares his powerful journey from early childhood abuse to rebuilding his identity through grief, creativity, and self-awareness.

    We explore how trauma shapes the way we see ourselves, why many leaders are disconnected from their emotional world, and how reconnecting with feeling can transform both life and leadership.

    This episode also introduces Christopher’s FRAME Method — a practical approach to integrating emotion and logic in decision-making.

    A deeply human conversation about healing, resilience, and what it means to live with authenticity.
