Permission or Forgiveness: Challenging power, processing trauma, holding boundaries

This conversation explores the ways we can use our own consent to tackle challenges with authority and how as a professional, Heidi maintains her own boundaries and well-being.
Founder of the charity Building Bridges for Peace, Jo Berry shares her inspirational story of emerging from a profound personal tragedy to become a global advocate for reconciliation. In 1984, her father fell victim to an IRA bomb. Jo's journey led her to connect with the ex-combatant who planted the bomb, Patrick Magee. Their unprecedented relationship, documented in the BBC's "Facing the Enemy" and featured in films like "Beyond Right and Wrong" encapsulates Jo's belief in unbounded empathy as the key to transforming conflict.
Customers, clients, connection and consent
Keri Blue is a trans non-binary barber. Their own experience of discrimination when a barbershop said they weren’t insured to do Keri’s hair, inspired them to train at the London School of Barbering. They began 'Hair Has No Gender' (now AFFIRMATION=) during the pandemic, aiming to eradicate gender discrimination in the hair industry, and address the stigma that still comes with being trans. They now train gender inclusivity to hair and corporate industries.
