Confidence to be comfortable in your own skin and opinions. Courage to face your prejudices and have your opinions challenged.”

“So much about parenting is about certainty, but as a parent I don’t have all the answers. None of us do. So I checked Google and they served me up certainty. Before this certainty, I would have consulted doctors, read more books. But now we turn to other sources. But ask yourself – whose certainty are they optimizing for? The very algorithms I go for are actually built to manipulate my choices by companies.”
Melanie relates a very personal TEDx talk on The Accidental Automation of Being a Mama, asking us all to maintain our self determination and critical thinking – and how this could be the greatest gift we can give our children.

“What does being Bold + Brilliant mean to me? It means taking a leap of faith and believing in yourself. It’s easy to doubt yourself but there’s no reason to. Why shouldn’t you pursue your passion? And don’t be scared to take a leap of faith.”
Wise words from 17 year old musician Shye during a performance break. Despite her youthful age, she speaks from experience – taking a leap of faith, creating music in her bedroom inspired by real life – becoming a successful musician.
This featured track is called Momentary, and is inspired by the question of how permanent are the things in life we fight for. Enjoy!
