“You don’t know what you don't know” seems to be very prevalent for Kinship Carers. How often have you overheard someone talking to think “Hey I didn’t know that” or more importantly “Why didn’t anyone tell me that?” This episode looks at knowledge and learning and how we can’t know everything, but if we embrace all our tools we might learn enough.

How difficult is it to manage your time? Do you give yourself any time or do you think you should always be on the go? Do you ever feel guilty about doing something for you?
STOP
This episode looks at managing your time, taking time out for yourself and being selfish. Everyone deserves time for themselves so maybe we just need to learn to be selfish every once in a while.

On the back of last week’s episode telling you what we do at Kinship Liverpool this episode asks you what do you want us to do. Are there courses you want to do, a change to the coffee morning or how we operate. The more you tell us what you want the more we can become the group you want. So tell us what is it you would like to see.

This week I talk about the new book Free Loaves on Fridays: The Care System As Told By People Who Actually Get It edited by Rebekah Pierre.
This is a wonderful book hearing some voices from those who have experienced first hand the Care system including one of our Kinship Kids who contributed a section to the book. In this podcast I read that section and it is really an affecting and effective piece of work that I recommend to anyone interested in the Care system or part of it themselves.
