Your brain thinks at up to 800 words per minute. That's a LOT of chatter.
Sometimes it catastrophises, criticises, and convinces you of things that simply aren't true. Sound familiar?

Connected by @RachelPiXL calls this the "chatter-brain" and gives young people research-backed techniques to take back control: from time-travel thinking to journalling to reframing nerves as preparation.

I wrote Connected because young people and leaders have spoken to a problem of disconnection. Whether thatβs having to deal with arguments in schools that happened on social media, behaviour or attendance, itβs taking time and energy to address. So I wrote this to help. ππ»ππ»

Most leadership teams can list ten. Naming one is the hard part, that's usually where the year-ahead conversation really begins. What's the one goal that excites and challenges you in equal measure?

A Wildly Important Goal (WIG), as Covey defined it: the single goal that, if not achieved by year's end, would make everything else feel inconsequential.

Ever said something in an argument you immediately regretted? π¬
We all fall into what Rachel Johnson calls "Argument Traps", interrupting, going silent, saying sweeping generalisations, or taking it to social media.

The good news? There's a better way. Connected gives young people a practical framework to disagree well, express feelings honestly, and repair relationships, skills that matter far beyond the classroom.

Did you know that walking up a hill with a friend makes it feel less steep? ποΈ
Research shows that human connection is a genuine superpower, it boosts our health, lifts our mood, and even helps us live longer.

In a world that's more "connected" online than ever, why do so many of us still feel lonely?
