The memories of our early school can be beautiful but what is too painful to remember we choose to suppress or forget. Suppression and denial are about consciously pushing memories into our unconscious that cause us painful thoughts. The thoughts we are talking about this episode focus on the times you sat behind a desk excited about the learning experience and overcame harmful thoughts, and denial of the reality facing you. It is our hope that our listeners, who may have forgotten the excitement of learning, can be encouraged to see the light at the end of the tunnel again. This is the month that we help many Adult Learners connect with education and training programs that will maintain or assist with obtaining successful placement in the workforce.
White Apple Institute wants to publish stories about how adult students have overcome the labels and characteristics associated with being categorized as “disabled” or “at risk”. This theme is especially important for students and teachers determined to succeed in the most socially-disadvantaged communities in the United States.

Our host, Professor Applewhite, and co-host, Nazim Rashid have invited Nick Ligidakis, a major publisher, mentor, and founder/owner of Inkwell Publications. In addition, we are hoping to hear from Jewel Diamond Taylor, known as the Self-Esteem Doctor, a successful motivational speaker, blogtalkradio host, and self-made publisher.
