My Dad's War: 1940-1945 - Barn McDevitt In this episode of Write Your Story, Angela is joined once again by Barn McDevitt, who shares the remarkable story of his father, John Francis McDevitt, and his experiences during World War II. Pieced together through family memories, military records, letters and years of research, Barn traces his father's journey from New Zealand to North Africa, his capture and years as a prisoner of war, a daring escape attempt, and the gruelling Long March during the final months of the war. Barn also reflects on the importance of preserving the stories previous generations may not have told themselves, and how family research can bring those experiences back to life. Write your Story is a series of stories, written and narrated by their authors. These "new" authors bring us a story they have put together recently and share with us all.

Cruising: The Adventure You Didn't Expect In this episode, we dive into the world of cruising with Joseph O’Sullivan and discover that cruising is about so much more than relaxing on a ship. We explore what cruising really means today, from classic ocean voyages and unforgettable adventures to expedition cruising and journeys into some of the most remote and extraordinary places on Earth — places where, in many cases, a ship is one of the only ways to get there. We talk about why cruising can be one of the most exciting, immersive and effortless ways to see the world, why there really is a cruise for almost every kind of traveller, and why this style of travel deserves to be seen in a completely different light. Whether you're a lifelong cruiser or have never set foot on a ship, this conversation might just change the way you think about cruising — because there is a whole world beyond the pool deck...

The Energy Equation, Part 4: Helping Your Child Manage Their Energy A neurodivergent child may appear to cope throughout the school day, only to unravel when they get home. That contrast does not necessarily mean they were fine at school or that something is wrong at home. They may have spent the day managing sensory input, social expectations, transitions and executive-function demands until their remaining capacity was exhausted. In this episode, Stephen explores behaviour as a possible signal of energy depletion. He discusses meltdowns and tantrums, becoming an “energy detective,” finding personalised forms of recovery, creating a shared language for energy and balancing challenge with capacity. The goal is not perfect behaviour or constant productivity, but sustainable growth, increasing independence and healthy recovery.
