The View From A Broad
Hi welcome to The View From A Broad. I'm Teresa Norton and this podcast dives into my past, revisiting columns I wrote for the South China Morning Post between 1993 and 2000 during my 40 years living in Hong Kong.
These often funny, sometimes tender, occasionally provocative musings cover everything from marriage and working motherhood, to national identity and global events. As a weekly columnist I aimed to capture the quirks of human interactions, carve up a few sacred cows and tell it like it is... but did I? In the 30 years since those columns were written much has changed and... so have I.
In each episode I read a column and talk to a guest about how the piece stands up today - what still rings true and what feels out of sync with today’s world. They then share a true story from their past that's been unearthed by something in the column.
The result is an engaging and honest conversation about the evolution of social norms, culture and humor, re-examining the past through the lens of today’s values.
By looking back with compassion and curiosity, my hope is that The View From A Broad encourages reflection on how our perspectives have changed... or not... and why.

Chicken Feed and Fairy Dust | Teresa talks to Katherine Sellery
In this joyous episode of The View From A Broad, Teresa Norton reads a column from 1996 when she was touring a play in Australia and got a chance to meet a mom who was truly present with her children. Joined by Katherine Sellery, CEO of Conscious Parenting Revolution, they share many laughs along with some serious discussion about the principles of conscious parenting, the challenges of balancing career and family, and the importance of emotional intelligence in parenting. The conversation delves into some hysterical personal anecdotes, and also offers Katherine's free book with insights on parenting strategies, and the significance of nurturing relationships with children.
