Episode 4: How to be Awesome at Home Education
<p>It's a new "half term". Not that we've really noticed because our children haven't been out of their pjs before 10am for weeks!</p> <p>Some of us might be preparing to send our children back to primary school, while other parents may be digging deep for some fresh resolve for another six weeks of "home learning" or "home schooling".</p> <p>But what if choosing to educate your children from home was a thing? How does that even work? How can we all put less pressure on ourselves to recreate the school environment at home?</p> <p>In this episode, Rachel talks to Bekkie Graham, a mum of four from Newquay whom five years ago, decided to do just that. She took her two older sons out of mainstream education, soon followed by her daughter and then youngest son.</p> <p>In this podcast, she talks about the broad spectrum of alternative and home education. Hear about how her kids, now aged between 18 and 9, are still able to benefit from recognised qualifications such as GCSEs whilst exploring hugely different academic paths,</p> <p>She shares some advice and support on what to do if you gearing up for another six weeks of home learning.</p> <p>Bekkie is fascinating to listen to.</p> <p><strong>About Bekkie Graham:</strong></p> <p>Bekkie Graham of <a href="https://www.instagram.com/bambino_art_photography/">@bambino_art_photography</a> is a photographic artist working on the overlapping themes of childhood, education and motherhood. Her project ‘The Heutagogical Home’ focuses on families who are home educating in Cornwall , aiming to highlight the many personal, political, and philosophical reasons families choose alternative education, and the many ways in which it is experienced.</p> <p>Following on from my podcast chat on home education, and my photographic project exploring alternative education, I am sharing some resources that are available to use for learning from home. Some are available all the time including out of lockdown , some have been set up for during lockdown, and some are limited time offerings.</p> <p>My children range in age from 9 to 18 so do check the suitability of them for your own children, but most should be absolutely fine for most age ranges.</p> <p>Most of these are arts related but there are a few others in there as well.</p> <p>If anyone that listened is in Cornwall, and is interested in continuing to home educate after schools go back, and are interested in being part of my photographic project My email is <a href="mailto:info@bambino-art.co.uk">info@bambino-art.co.uk, </a>do get in touch and we can chat more.</p> <p><strong>About 80% Awesome:</strong></p> <p>80% Awesome website: <a href="https://80percentawesome.co.uk/" target="_blank"><strong>https://80percentawesome.co.uk</strong></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/383766232574126/" target="_blank"><strong>The Facebook Group</strong></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/80percentawesomerp/" target="_blank"><strong>RP's Instagram</strong></a></p> <p>New workshop dates!</p> <p><a href="https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/o/80-per-cent-awesome-enterprises-29782448947">https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/o/80-per-cent-awesome-enterprises-29782448947</a></p>

Episode 3: How to be Awesome AF with Alcohol Free coach Polly Jukes
<p>Hear 80% Awesome co-founder Rachel Picken talk to empowerment coach Polly Jukes about one of the Coronavirus taboos - why do people appear to be drinking so much?</p> <p>Alcohol sales are said to have gone up 30% in the UK and 55% in the US since Coronavirus crisis took hold.</p> <p>Since the pandemic, the public and social media narrative has been big on alcohol - be it the holiday feeling of good weather, the stress of managing life under lockdown, or simply because of boredom and/or a way to signal day into evening. </p> <p>Polly is open and honest about her own journey to live alcohol free, which she began two years ago.</p> <p>Rachel also shares some of her own experiences exploring the Sobersphere, alcohol free (AF) community and quit-lit. </p> <p><strong>About Polly Jukes:</strong></p> <p>"I help newly Alcohol-Free women eliminate shame and guilt to discover their authentic self so that they can learn to take control of their life and start being who they want to be. Gaining clarity, freedom and peace. </p> <p>"Unlike others focusing on the past, my clients tell me their results are lasting, fulfilling and life changing from creating an enriched future they actually want to be fully present and with purpose."</p> <p><a href="https://www.pollyjukes.com/">https://www.pollyjukes.com/</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/mindbodyconnects/">https://www.facebook.com/mindbodyconnects/</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.instagram.com/polly_jukescoach">http://Www.instagram.com/polly_jukescoach</a></p> <p><a href="http://linkedin.com/in/pollyjukes">http://linkedin.com/in/pollyjukes</a></p> <p><strong>About 80% Awesome</strong></p> <p>80% Awesome website: <a href="https://80percentawesome.co.uk">https://80percentawesome.co.uk</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/383766232574126/" target="_blank"><strong>The Facebook Group</strong></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/80percentawesomerp/" target="_blank"><strong>RP's Instagram</strong></a></p> <p><strong>Alcohol Free support</strong></p> <p>One Year No Beer (OYNB) <a href="https://www.oneyearnobeer.com/takethechallenge/">www.oneyearnobeer.com</a></p> <p>Cancer Research Dryathlon: <a href="https://www.cancerresearchuk.org/get-involved/do-your-own-fundraising/dryathlon">https://www.cancerresearchuk.org/get-involved/do-your-own-fundraising/dryathlon</a></p> <p>Great reads:</p> <p>The Unexpected Joy of Being Sober by Catherine Gray</p> <p>The Sober Diaries by Clare Pooley</p> <p>Stay Awesome!
