Please Support my Independent Thought on Patreon PurplePsychology or On Apple Podcast Channel PurplePsychology. Podcast Disclaimer on PurplePsychology dot Com. More Information DrNaoiseOReilly dot org. A podcast that ranges from Teen to Adult. Originally I have a Doctorate in philosophy (Psychical Oceanography). I’ve spent my whole adult life supporting Students in one form or another. I always feel they are right and this podcast aims to get under the bonnet of what is really at the root of our society challenges. How to be authentic and vulnerable in practice not just in name. How to critically reflect on big topics. Always with a suggested reading list. I do the research and join the dots in my Sigma INFJ mode so you don’t need to do all the work. Presented in Bite size portions. ©Dr. Naoisé O'Reilly 2025.

Episode 524: We need to stop interchanging socialism and leftism - we need a new political focus; humanity
I worry that leftist and socialist parties are so desperate to be just elected rather than speak to their core values that they are willing to speak to a far right propaganda just for votes. It’s no better than what the ‘other’ team are doing! One article on the differences between socialism and leftismhttps://thisvsthat.io/leftist-vs-socialismI also simply typed in for definitions on each.

Episode 519: Why do women feel so angst every half term?
Life has in fact got easier for women (in an Irish context)so why is this not reflected? Who’s expectations are they feeding? And what is it like to grow up as a child feeling such a burden?
