  • Episode #189. Celebrating Early Educators on IWD: Empower, Nurture, Flourish – ECLD Conference 2025 Hosted by Child Australia, Perth.
    Empower, Nurture, Flourish – ECLD 2025 KeynoteStanding on the stage at Optus Stadium, in Perth looking out at 700 passionate educators, leaders, and changemakers, there was an undeniable energy in the room, with a shared commitment to shaping the minds and hearts of future generations. This was more than a conference; it was a movement.Delivering the ECLD 2025 keynote was a privilege. The impact of early childhood educators cannot be overstated—every interaction, moment of care, and lesson taught ripples through time, shaping a child’s life trajectory. My presentation focused on the neuroscience of being seen, learning, resilience, and emotional well-being, unpacking the latest research on how early experiences shape the developing brain. Beyond science, it was about the power of human connection, the inter-brain synchrony between educator and child, moments of kindness, curiosity, and joy, which build the foundation for thriving minds.In that room were trailblazers who advocate for change, challenge outdated systems, and pour their heart and soul into giving every child the best start in life. Today was not just about sharing knowledge but igniting a shared mission.We laughed, we reflected, and we explored what it truly means to empower, nurture, and flourish. The message was clear: when we prioritise connection, well-being, and brain health, we don’t just improve individual lives, we transform entire communities, we prevent mental illness.This is also the driving force behind my book, Being Seen, and the SEEN documentary, which explore the science of how early experiences shape the brain, the impact of the digital age on childhood, and the role of connection in healing and growth. Our work together in education is central to ensuring every child feels seen, heard, and supported.As I closed, I celebrated the 700 minds and hearts in that room, and their dedication to coming on a Saturday to connect, to learn and make the lives of others 1% better tomorrow. You inspired me and we are ready to take action. This is how real change happens.Because when educators thrive, children thrive, and when children thrive, the future is limitless.#ECLD2025 #EarlyChildhoodEducation #Neuroscience #BrainDevelopment #ThrivingMinds #EmpowerNurtureFlourish #BeingSeen #SEENdocumentarySupport the showSubscribe and support the podcast at https://www.buzzsprout.com/367319/supporters/newLearn more at www.profselenabartlett.com

  • Episode #187. Why are People Good Inside, A reflection for 2025.
    Why Are People Good Inside? A Valentine’s Week ReflectionHave you ever sat back and wondered why everything functions despite the avalanche of news suggesting it is falling apart?I’ve watched everyday people helping others—lifting grocery bags for a stranger, steadying an elderly person’s walker on a staircase, retrieving a lost toy that slipped from a parent's grasp. I've seen nurses and assistants speaking gently to a young man who suffered a stroke, crying in agony from his muscle loss. I’ve stood beside palliative care workers and pastors, their voices hushed and full of grace, comforting families over the beds of their dying loved ones.And I’ve seen more.The everyday people I meet are kind and generous. Yes, they may be fearful of a daunting future, but still, they show up. They are the volunteers sitting with dialysis patients, offering comfort in quiet moments. They are the students pushing forward in an increasingly performative society, balancing hope and exhaustion. They are the Uber drivers, the cyclists, the late-night workers. They are the musicians crafting songs that make you feel understood, the writers shaping words that help you heal, the chefs designing flavors that bring you home.They are you.And after all is said and done, the only thing that truly matters is love and connection. The rest? It’s fluff.If you don’t have someone to love you, know this: love surrounds you. It is in every living species, in every act of kindness, in the unseen and the unnoticed.During this week—especially this week—know that you are not alone.I challenge you to see the good inside others and write down the large number of tiny acts of kindness that are the glue holding us together.We are thinking of you. No matter your circumstance.💛 Now let’s start shouting this from the rooftops. 💛 #KindnessMatters#HumanityFirst#CompassionInAction#EverydayHeroes#PeopleHelpingPeople#ProtectOurChildren#ChildSafety#AdvocacyForChange#JusticeForChildren#CommunityMatters#SupportingEachOther#TogetherWeThrive#HelpingHands#DigitalWellbeing#EducationMatters#FutureOfEducation#SafeOnlineSpaces#LeadWithLove#ChangeMakers#InspiringAction#CreatingImpact#MentalHealthAwareness#HealingTogether#TraumaInformed#InnovationForGood#NeuroscienceMatters#WomenInSTEM#TechForGood#ValentinesWeek#LoveAndConnection#LoveInActionTo suggest guests and bring love to the podcast visitwww.profselenabartlett.comand www.womenrise.com.au.Support the showSubscribe and support the podcast at https://www.buzzsprout.com/367319/supporters/newLearn more at www.profselenabartlett.com

    Guy MacGillivray on Sugar and Mental Health – Our Most Downloaded Episode Ever!This episode is a game-changer!  Our conversation with Guy MacGillivray has become the top episode of all time—and for good reason.Guy is a psychologist and social worker in Port Lincoln, a devoted father of three, and a passionate advocate for people with disabilities. But his journey into understanding sugar and mental health started with a personal revelation: he was using sugar to medicate stress in his life.Realising this, he made a change—cutting back on sugar, adjusting his morning routine, and practising gratitude for family, friends and meditative prayer. He quickly noticed the impact on not just his weight but his mental clarity and overall well-being.Guy poses a powerful question:"Are you a leaver or a finisher?"Can you stop at one scoop of ice cream, or do you finish the whole tub?For Guy, the only way forward was utterly removing sugar from his diet. And he believes you can do it, too.Beyond his journey, Guy’s work is deeply impactful. He supports people with disabilities and their families to navigate housing, employment, and the NDIS system—helping them overcome barriers and live their best lives.Thank you, Guy, for making a difference in Port Lincoln and beyond!🎧 Tune in to hear his inspiring story.💡 Support the show:Subscribe & support: buzzsprout.com/367319/supporters/newLearn more: www.profselenabartlett.comSupport the showSubscribe and support the podcast at https://www.buzzsprout.com/367319/supporters/newLearn more at www.profselenabartlett.com
