Storytelling and its Power - Trina Casey, EQaboveIQ / This Real Life Books. The Story Anew #26 Gwyneth Jones 2022-06-28 | Trina Casey is an American educator, writer, and speaker who has taught worldwide. She has lived and taught in Italy, Indonesia, Amsterdam, and the US. Trina had a passion for writing at a young age. She used her inner child to tap into her imagination to write trauma-informed children’s books that focus on emotional intelligence. Trina created This Real Life books with the encouragement of her son, who loved the bedtime stories she told him every night to help him deal with the self-doubt caused by bullying in school. All of the stories would give him practical tools to deal with the problems he faced at school while reinforcing a positive view of himself. Trina believes EQ in schools could change the world and create more purpose-driven adults. She says on her bi-weekly podcast EQaboveIQ that "we are all children walking around in adult suits pretending we have all figured out while we spread our trauma to everyone we meet, especially our children! We must protect and heal children to create a sustainable and compassionate world for adults".Find links to Trina's work at: https://linktr.ee/Thisreallifebooksandcoaching In this episode of The Story Anew, we discuss:- The importance of Emotional Intelligence in parenting and education- Trina’s children’s books and how they aim to teach self-compassion and empowerment- Why the ancient art of storytelling is so important and how it can help us find our way in a chaotic world - The tragedy of loneliness and the consequences of the push toward individualism - The multiple dis-ease in our collective - what does it look like and how can we create a healthier reality for everyone?- The shadow side of story-telling - propaganda and brainwashing and how that’s been used for good and evil- How to harness the power of truth-telling for good, including when telling your own story - Why we need to really understand things such as abuse, rather than just categorising them as “bad”, if we want to be able to prevent it from happening- The Story of Capitalism and what alternative stories are available for humanity - Why we need to dismantle patriarchal and colonial mindsets- How a false sense of security and need for control leaks into every corner of our societyThe Story Anew is a podcast and video series in which we'll meet amazing people from all over the world who are working to redefine the dominant narrative of our times - that of infinite growth and consumption.

Upon completion of my Bachelors in Outdoor, Experiential Education and Masters in Environmental Education, I felt called to deepen into this work and began facilitating land-based rites of passage. As a queer settler of mostly Celtic and Slavic ancestry, I am dedicated to helping us remember the sense of the village and what it means to be in direct connection with our deepest selves, each other, and the Earth. innercadence.com/aboutIG: instagram.com/innercadencehealingFB: facebook.com/innercadencehealingThe Story Anew is a podcast and video series in which we'll meet amazing people from all over the world who are working to redefine the dominant narrative of our times - that of infinite growth and consumption.
