TRUMP HAS ENDED THE WAR ON DRUGS !!! I have created this content using our MAUNi Tech processes to help us as coaches to understand how best to show up as professional lived experience coaches. Video Link The provided text examines the growing interest in ibogaine as a tool for addiction recovery, cautioning against viewing it as a standalone "silver bullet." While the substance can facilitate profound psychological breakthroughs, the author argues that long-term success depends on a robust integration process rather than the experience itself. Utilising the Collins Window framework, the source emphasizes that medical, social, and coaching support must coexist to turn a temporary shift into a sustainable lifestyle change. It highlights the specific role of professional coaches in helping individuals translate newfound insights into practical, everyday structures. Ultimately, the text advocates for a multidisciplinary approach that balances the excitement of medical innovation with the necessity of community accountability and individual responsibility.

@Tia Boulton @Ruth Lilleker @Emma Buttriss @Marcus Ward Session 3 Summary. These sources document a series of professional mentorship meetings between Ruth Lilleker and David Collins focused on neurodiversity advocacy and career development. The discussions detail Ruth’s transition from local government work toward establishing her own Community Interest Company and consultancy. Key themes include the development of a theoretical framework linking ADHD to addiction and the necessity for systemic changes in workplace environments. Ruth is supported through academic partnerships and supervised "Recognised Prior Learning" to achieve formal coaching certification. Ultimately, the records track her journey of transforming lived experience into a professional portfolio focused on neurodiverse recovery.

👨‍🏫 After our class on Thursday and the strong topics we discussed, I stumbled across the story of the Forest Troop of Savannahs Baboon's which evolves from a biological lesson into a spiritual wisdom and it got me thinking. As we move toward healing, awareness and balance we move beyond the binary of "Man vs. Woman" and into the fluidity of energy and essence, we really have a great platform and community here doing what we do! 🦧 The Story of The Forest Troop: In the early 1980s, the "Forest Troop" of savannah a community of baboons in Kenya underwent a radical transformation. After an outbreak of disease claimed the lives of the troop's most aggressive, patriarchal males, the remaining members, females and "less-aggressive" males had rewrote their social contract. They shifted from a culture of dominance and fear to one of connection and cooperation. But for us, the lesson goes deeper than just "jumping ship." It’s about the integration of energies. ⛓️‍💥Breaking the Trauma Loop of Patriarchy: Standard patriarchal structures are often built on a foundation of "Power Over." For the human nervous system, this creates a state of chronic hyper vigilance. 💔 Trauma: When we live in a hierarchy of dominance, our "fight or flight" response never fully turns off. This is a "trauma-loop" where we are constantly scanning for threats to our status or safety. 💊 Addiction: Addiction thrives in isolation. When the "troop" is competitive rather than supportive, we turn to substances or behaviors (workaholism, scrolling, numbing) to self regulate a lonely, overwhelmed nervous system. 🧩 The Neurodivergent Sanctuary: For the neurodivergent brain, the rigid "top-down" structures of traditional patriarchy are a sensory and cognitive minefield. 🎭 Masking as Survival: ND individuals often have to "mask" their natural way of processing to fit into a linear, hierarchy driven world. This leads to profound burnout. 🔰 The Matriarchal Shift: By embracing "Matriarchal" values we nurture, sensory awareness, and communal pacing we create a sanctuary. In the Forest Troop, the "weak" weren't bullied; they were integrated. A healing culture recognizes that divergence is a feature of a healthy ecosystem, not a defect.

TODAY’S FILE Or: How I Quit My Job, Learned Things, and Accidentally Started Suspecting I Might Actually Know What I’m Doing I quit my job today. No dramatic exit. No storming out. No slow-motion walk carrying a mug, a plant and unresolved rage. Just a very ordinary moment where something internally went: Right. That’s enough now. Not because this appeared out of nowhere. Because this has been building for months, and eventually there comes a point where you realise if you do not move now, you will still be having the exact same argument with yourself six months from now. For context: Life recently has looked like this: • work • children • systems • forms • deadlines • emails • repeated attempts to remember why I opened the laptop in the first place • approximately 247 tabs open internally • one definitely playing music I cannot find • several frozen • at least twelve demanding immediate attention for reasons still unknown So outwardly: normal adult functioning. Internally: still largely winging life and occasionally producing evidence of that without warning. Then somewhere in the middle of all that, I started writing properly. Not because I had a plan. Because certain things I had noticed and questioned for a while finally stopped sitting quietly and started needing somewhere to go. Which became writing. Which became a framework. Which then did something I had not fully factored in: A highly respected person whose thinking I genuinely admire is taking it seriously. Meeting with me. Giving it time. Treating my thinking like it deserves proper thought. Which is a shock in itself. Then, not long after, another respected voice — already quietly reading things I had written elsewhere — stepped in too. Which is roughly where my internal response became: I’m sorry, what? No, actually — Wait… what the fuck is going on here? Not that my brain accepted any of this gracefully. Obviously not. It immediately split itself in two: CHANNEL ONE: This might actually be something. CHANNEL TWO:

My Father was a chronic alcoholic, God bless his soul. I made this Ai video using our MAUNi-i Campus tools. The thumb nail is a picture of me and my Sister Sarah. Both her Brother (Me) and her Son Mathew (My Nephew) have what my father had !!!! Both Matthew and My Dad died by suicide. This is for the Families - @Luca Collins @Sam Collins @Michaela Collins @Tia Boulton @Paula Perkusic @Charlie Morrison @Ruth Lilleker @Jade Wilkinson @Tom Jack
