Rebecca works for NEAS, the North East Ambulance Service, and she talks to us about how she got into her job, its rewards and also how the COVID virus has affected her role. 

We talk about her experience in her previous role working for a supermarket chain and making the leap into a totally different role. 

We also talk about her Tai Chi practice and her journey to meeting Grand Master Chen Zheng Li and training with Grand Master Liming Yue.

Story 1 – As Mississippi drops the Confederate Battle Emblem from its flag, and we see statues taken down, we discuss this story and the need for connection. I talk about the death of George Floyd and investigate what traits and delusions must be in place to bring a man to have such disregard for another man’s welfare. We also look into the need to continue to bring down the social barriers of prejudice and in-group/out-group trends.
