#2.3: Hagrid (part 1)
28m
·
Harry Potter Saved My Life
·
Hogwart’s favourite half-giant teaches us three important life lessons throughout the course of the seven books.
What are they? Loyalty? Being a good father figure? Well, although these are traits that many people think of, I believe they are least interesting for our purposes here.
Instead, let’s talk about:
#1 Building Better Boundaries. Hagrid is an anti-teacher in this respect – he shows us what happens when we fail to build healthy boundaries. This is apparent not just in his naïve love of all things monster, but in the varied and horribly hilarious examples I give from the whole series.
#2 Acknowledge your strengths. We all know Hagrid is physically strong, but he is more resilient and mentally tough than anyone – especially Hagrid – gives him credit for. I discuss exactly how, and how to start giving YOURSELF credit.
#3 ???
In this episode you will discover:
*The difference between taking responsibility and taking the blame
*Some powerful questions to ask yourself if you feel people are asking too much of you
*The very rare ability Hagrid shares with Harry, Dumbledore, Sirius and Hermione

BONUS: Managing Life's Curveballs with Catherine Rains
An interview that makes no mention of Harry Potter – yes, it’s true! I interview artist Catherine Rains and we discuss nothing to do with the boy wizard. BUT I wanted to bring you this interview because I extracted so much wisdom from it. Catherine is an amazing human being who has just as many life lessons for us as Harry himself.
Find out more about Catherine here https://catherinerains.com/
And on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/catrains.artist/
At the end of the interview, I make some remarks about how what is discussed relates to the world of Hogwarts. In particular
*Catherine’s double pronged non resistance and how we see this in The Deathly Hallows
*The passage from childhood to adulthood
Some highlights from this interview:
How to be unintentionally intentional
The five words anyone can use in a negative situation to feel more empowered
Catherine’s epiphany about non resistance
The non linear nature of change.
How she diverted her energy to sidestep jealousy and intended her way to the job of her dreams
Why affirmations don’t work for so many people - because they are doing this thing alongside the affirmation
Her strategy for releasing fear and dread after her cancer diagnosis (I have never heard this from anyone else)
How she developed compassion for her husband in the midst of her divorce but still shielded herself from his manipulation
Her hilarious way of managing old resentments

What if Hermoine had not been clever? This episode takes what some might see as a bit of a controversial stance on her relationship with Harry and Ron…but that’s not the important thing here. Rather I am interested in what she symbolises for you.

The death of Harry’s godfather is in my opinion the biggest blow to Harry of the entire 7 books. Today I ask: what would have happened if Sirius had NOT died? And what lessons do we glean from the tragedy? What would we have lost that is perhaps useful to our own escape from anxiety and depression if The Order Of The Phoenix had not ended the way it did?
Find out in this episode.
