being human in conversation
Enjoy this clip with Julie Tant about her experience home educating her children.
“Children do innately learn and we kind of think ourselves away from that. As you allow your children to start thinking for themselves, they fall back into themselves, they start to show interest in the world from their own perspective. Then you guide and facilitate them.” – Julie Tant
“I started to see that my experience of my children was really just depending on the clarity of mind I had at any given moment. Behaviour that I would find really frustrating this moment, two days ago if I was in a different state of mind wouldn’t bother me as much. I’m seeing that my experience of them is coming from me.” – Alexis Colantonio
Watch as Alexis, a current student of the One Thought Graduate Programme, shares her latest insights around “Parenting Beyond Techniques”, sharing how her recent understanding of the Three Principles impacts her parenting.
“In my experience all of the technique books that make you deal with another person like they are in charge of how you feel, don’t get to the core of your experience with your children.”

As human beings we are always doing the best we can with the understanding we have in each moment. Sometimes life feels effortless and we glide through with ease & grace and other times it feels like we’re fighting numerous obstacles and just struggling through it. When we take a moment to reflect, we often see that those times of ease and grace had just as much ‘stuff’ going on, but our experience of it was different. Full Podcast Description
“We get so fixed around certain ideas of ourselves that we carry them around like luggage, get wrapped up in thinking of what a successful business person or mother does and trying to live up to that. All the while failing to realise that what a good mother does is different in any moment. Whilst her understanding of where her experience is coming from is consistent, her behavior is not, as she might shout when shouting is required because sometimes that’s the only thing that works.” – Kaye Taylor
Enjoy this short clip from our recent Edinburgh Community Night with Kaye & Steph around letting go of our made up ideas of ourselves to simply be and show up to what the moment requires from us.
“If you have an idea of what a good mother does, you’re constantly measuring yourself against that idea you’ve created of yourself which takes you away from your natural state and that’s so limiting.” – Steph Wilson
“I thought to myself how can I dare to write a book if I don’t know anything about grammar as they didn’t teach that at school at the time, I have no idea about writing itself, the structure of a sentence. The only thing I knew was how to speak from my heart.” – Sue Lachman
Enjoy this conversation with Sue Lachman and Steph Wilson sharing Sue’s journey of writing her first book.
“It would be wonderful if the world woke up to the fact that they think . That what they think is really powerful. That they just don’t need to do all the thinking that they do. They would start walking in the right direction, falling into a nicer feeling state if they don’t use their head so much.” – Karen Miller
Enjoy this conversation with Karen Miller & Steph Wilson about being “connected up”, going beyond the connection to your small personal mind into something grander. Connecting up with that place of wonder, that place where you don’t know what’s going to happen.
“When I first started learning about the Three Principles, I wrote down everything that was thought. There’s just so many forms of thought from ideas, opinions, judgements, anger, belief to resentment, it goes on infinite.”
How do the Three Principles understanding impact daily life?
In this episode, Colette Grant, Kaye Taylor and Steph Wilson share how their understanding of the system behind life has impacted them personally, in their business and with their children at home.
Colette shares that the biggest learning for her was that everybody has their own wisdom. She no longer needs to tell her son what to do, instead she now asks him to show her who he is. Their relationship has deepened because their is more understanding.
“Every single part of my life has changed, I have more peace, I try more things and I feel I’ve got more courage because I have less on it, I just give things a go. There’s more joy where there was struggle before.” Colette Grant
“We don’t live in a world influenced by thoughts, we live in a world of our own thoughts.” – Andy Couch
Andy Couch shares in this “Being In Conversation with” episode how he started to quieten down when he first came across the understanding of the Three Principles, getting more of an insight into what Universal Mind is. He started to really see the inside out nature of thought, feeling settled down for the first time in years, feeling back home.
“I’m now being able to see the true nature of my kids, seeing that underneath whatever they’re thinking they’re well, seeing their inner diamond, the essence of who they really are”
I’m now being able to see the true nature of my kids, seeing that underneath whatever they’re thinking they’re well, seeing their inner diamond, the essence of who they really are”
In this episode of Being In Conversation With, Steph shares her latest insight that expectation is thought too, it’s personal thought where we want someone to behave like this or say something like this or show up like this, and it’s making you angry that the other person isn’t showing up that way. She can see that it’s an expectation and whilst that’s going on in her head, she is moving away from her heart and then wisdom isn’t accessible.
Steph shares that whilst we’re capable of reaching higher level of consciousness, we also sometimes get lost in our thinking and that is okay too. It doesn’t mean we don’t understand where our experience comes from.
