Welcome back,
Who else is finding that the year is already flying by? So many things are changing and to help with this, our theme this month is focused on Curiosity and Lifelong Learning.
One of our favourites is to travel and Danette has just returned from a successful trip running adaptability and communication workshops in South Africa. She learnt a lot while she was away. Some of her lessons are;
a) We are more similar than we think. Most of us have similar worries and we all want to be good at what we do.
b) With the help of our brains, if we ask questions, take action and surround ourselves with good mentors and coaches, we can get to our goals faster.
Other ways we love to stay curious is to always be learning, reading, listening, asking great questions and trying new experiences.
One of the areas that hinders our ability to be curious is when we trying to control others. The only person we can control is ourselves. Yet many of us want others to change. So, this month we share in our video book review Mel Robbins’s new book, The Let Them Theory. This has some excellent strategies to free up your time to be more curious and continue to learn and grow.
What are some of the things you do to stay curious and continue to learn?
Until Next time,
Danette and the Magical Learning Team

Book Review: The Let Them Theory by Mel Robbins
“The Let Them Theory is a step-by-step guide on how to stop letting other people's opinions, drama, and judgment impact your life. Two simple words, Let Them, will set you free from the exhausting cycle of trying to manage everything and everyone around you. It’s time to build a life where you come first—your dreams, your goals, your happiness.”
What do you do about people that are making bad decisions? Once you have told them your thoughts, what next? Well, let them. That's the message of Mel Robbins' new book 'The Let Them Theory'. Hear Danette's thoughts about why you should read this one.

Jez and Vanessa chat about the intersection of Indigenous knowledge and modern economics. They explore the importance of feminine energy in leadership, and how these perspectives can reshape our understanding of capital flow and sustainability. Vanessa emphasises the need to reimagine our economic systems to prioritise relationships and community over individual gain, highlighting the wisdom embedded in Indigenous practices that have sustained biodiversity for generations. They also discuss the complex relationship between wealth, trauma, and community, emphasizing the need for a shift in how we perceive and measure wealth. She’s an advocate for multi-generational thinking and intentionality Roanhorse also explores the concept of reframing economics to focus on sustainability and the cyclical nature of resources.
