What if reconnecting with your past could offer unexpected insights into your present? Join us as we, Sian and Andy, contemplate the emotional rollercoaster of attending a school reunion. Sian shares her heartwarming and sometimes bittersweet experience of reuniting with old classmates after decades apart. We unravel the complex motivations behind such gatherings—whether it's the desire to show off our accomplishments or the yearning for closure from our formative years. This episode isn't just about nostalgia; it's about understanding how these reconnections shape our identity and bring new perspectives.
As we navigate through Sian's poignant reflections and Andy's probing questions, we delve into the different dynamics of those who thrived versus those who struggled in school. We discuss the raw, unfiltered emotions that surface when old memories are revisited and how these interactions can offer a profound sense of fulfillment. Whether you're considering attending your next reunion or have already experienced one, this episode offers a thought-provoking exploration of what it means to reconnect with our past selves and the people who knew us then.

So today's question is shouldyou go to a school reunion?
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Is that because you saw that email about there was
one happening in your school?
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Yeah, I mean I can't go because it's in the UK and
it's a long way to go.
I mean it's quite interesting.
I mean, when it comes to thekind of Facebook thing you find
yourself just saying do I lookyounger, do I look happier?
You know I got some of themulti-millionaires, but are they
(00:58):
happy?
I don't know.
But what comes down to isshould you go to a school
reunion, if one is offered andyou're available to go?
I know some very good filmsabout it, but is it going to do
you any good?
That's the question.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
If you want to, there you go.
End of podcast.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
What are you gaining?
Here we go.
What are you gaining?
Here we go.
What are you gaining?
It's your motive, isn't it?
Yeah, what's your motive aboutgoing to a school podcast, going
to a school reunion?
Is it, like you know, I'mbetter than you at the end of
the day, is it that?
Is that what it's all about?
Speaker 2 (01:41):
I think, on any level , you want to go and you want to
Judge?
No, no, no, that's not what Iwas going to say.
I was going to say you want togo there and present yourself in
your best light, right?
Yeah, the reality is that, andobviously it depends how big the
gap is, but if you're talking30-odd years since you've met
(02:03):
these people, for realitiesyou're not the same person.
So that's the first piece ofdiscussion I'd have with
somebody, right?
You're not walking in there 11,12, 15 years of age.
Yeah, you're a grown adult witha whole lot of life experience
and wisdom, and who you werethen isn't who you are now well,
so don't?
Speaker 1 (02:22):
some people?
Some people, I think, are stillin that space.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Not everybody had good school experiences or
weren't able to form positiverelationships, for whatever
reason.
It's not about judging anybody,but that's the fun.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Isn't that the fun bit?
Speaker 2 (02:36):
I went to one recently, very small scale, put
together in a very kind of lighttouch way it certainly wasn't,
you know banners and come herefor the evening and we're going
to have a disco.
You know, I met up with a groupof people who I hadn't seen for
the better part of half acentury and I can honestly say
(02:57):
that it was a very special andlovely experience.
There were some people that Imet sat down, looked at and it
was like my heart just floodedwith emotion, of connection, of
memories, and it was a very,very lovely thing.
My own observation would belistening to people.
(03:19):
My own observation now, lookingback on it and it happened a few
months ago was that I thinkthere were people that I was at
school with who were desperatelyunhappy at school yeah, and I
was too young and stupid anddidn't know enough about the
world and didn't know enoughabout human beings to recognize
it and to see it but you know,but you can't, you can't expect
to see their sadness.
(03:41):
If you were that age, you knowbut what I'm saying is that when
, when I saw them, it was veryinteresting that we ended up
having a very real, meaningfulconversation about how
challenging it was.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
You went to boarding school, so that's a different
game.
Yeah, is that a?
Speaker 2 (03:56):
reflection on how we're all mature and our
emotional intelligence and we'reable to share on that level
Possibly, but there were peoplewho were very unhappy.
I got a lot out of being there.
There were some faces I saw.
There were some hugs I received, there were some stories I
listened to that were absolutelydelightful and it filled my
(04:16):
heart and soul.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Well, it was also when you came from it.
I remember your perception ofyourself at school, and it's
probably true for a lot ofpeople.
Be very, very careful, but no,but your perception of yourself
at school was not how otherpeople saw you.
How other people saw you.
People saw you in a much betterspace than you saw yourself.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Well, isn't that again that reflection of life?
You know, it's that old acid.
You know what would I sellmyself when I was 12?
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Oh yeah, 15.
Now I'm, older.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
I think that if I'm absolutely honest and now I'm
going to get into trouble, butit will be the first time I get
into trouble won't be the last.
I think the vast majority ofpeople that were there I could
see the core of the human beingthat they were when they were
children, because we werechildren, right, but they'd
(05:11):
developed from that.
There were other people whopossibly hadn't grown.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
But that's a judgment .
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Yeah, I.
All I know is that, from my ownperspective, you're quite right
.
I think that when you go backto a school reunion, if you
overbake it and overthink it,you're going to emotionally put
yourself in knots about what dopeople think of you?
Well, at the end of the day,I've got no control over what
anybody thinks of me and I'vecertainly now got no control
(05:36):
over what I did, said, behavedwhatever when I was a child.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
We come back I mean, quite interestingly, the podcast
we did on bullying, you knowcome back to see the school
bully.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Well, that's interesting because I think
that's.
You know that's a theme, isn'tit?
You know I didn't like you.
You were nasty to me at school.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
And, to be honest, if you were the recipient of
bullying and unkind behaviour,then it can be quite triggering
to go back to a reunion and dothat or, equally, it can be very
empowering.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Right.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
That I ain't that person anymore.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Yeah, and I've come to eyeball you.
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
But I would respectfully suggest that the
person you're choosing to go andeyeball isn't the same person
as they were.
Yeah, to go and eyeball isn'tthe same person as they were.
I, to be honest, wouldencourage anybody to go, because
it was just incrediblyinteresting to see these
fabulous women and what they'ddone with their lives, how
they'd gone out there and becomethemselves.
I thought it was fabulous, butagain, that's my ballgame, isn't
(06:35):
it?
I'm fascinated with human beingsand what they do and the
choices they make in their lives.
And I, quietly, I'm quite proudof what I've done from the
rather pathetic resource.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
You're dyslexic.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
You know, I wasn't really nobody in their right
mind.
There was no teachers who wereadvocating me to be an
international.
If I am one now, Do you?
Know what I mean.
I did come away with thatquietly pleased, but the most
important thing was that Ireconnected with some people
that really matter to me and ithas been a lovely, lovely,
(07:11):
lovely experience and I I'm gladI went and I did it and I'm
glad I saw them I suppose yeahit yeah because you went to an
all-girls school.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
I wonder if the same is true of co-ed school
relationships, all that kind ofstuff of teen American movies.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Well, again, isn't it that we overbake it in our
heads and we overthink Unlessyou've got a personality
disorder?
Everybody was a little bitwoodied about going.
Everybody put a little bit moreeffort into what they were
dressing up like.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
I just think that's perfectly normal human behaviour
.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
I mean you've got to.
I think, though you've got tobe pretty.
You'd have to still be pretty,you know, solid in yourself,
because if you are vulnerable,going into those situations
would be pretty triggering, Ishould imagine.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Absolutely, and I think it can be quite dangerous
if you're going there with anagenda that only you have in
your head and nobody else hasgot the script.
I'm going there to make thisall right.
I'm going to speak to so-and-so, so-and-so, so-and-so.
Tell them what I really think.
Now I'm a grown adult.
That's very unlikely to workout well, I think if you go into
it with an open heart and yougo in there and think right for
(08:30):
dot-dot hours, I am going to besurrounded by people who I knew
when I was a child.
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
And, of course, the likelihood is well, it depends.
I don't think it's, thelikelihood is you'll never see
them again.
I mean, I think you may well,unless you connect, unless you.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Connect and there you go.
There's an opportunity.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Just, I suppose, should you, you'll ask the
question should you or shouldn'tyou go again?
Stop, before you make thedecision filter.
What's my motive?
Yeah.
What am I going there for?
If I am, if I think, if you'regoing there to spend a few hours
with people who you knew,because you've got a genuine
interest, and where are they at,what are they doing?
(09:10):
Yeah, and have a little tripdown memory lane and a bit of a
laugh, yeah then.
But if you were going theretrying to emotionally mend
things right the wrongs, findclosure, or to deal with open
wounds that have never quitehealed, I'm not sure that's the
place to be going to.
Yeah, I was, I don't know.
(09:32):
It filled my heart, if I'mhonest, it really did.
The day afterwards I went on along journey.
I had to drive on my ownhalfway down the UK in the
motorway on my own on a crazySunday, and I can remember
sitting there, driving,reflecting it, and the good
feeling was that I did, I was, Iwas able to reflect on me and
and to, and.
The conclusion I came with, youknow, good, bad, indifferent.
(09:54):
I am quietly quite proud ofwhat I've achieved, from what I
thought of myself and what Idamn well know what the people
thought.
You know she wasn't.
She wasn't going to achievemuch, she wasn't gonna.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Yeah, well, that that may have been some of the
teachers or whatever, from anacademic standpoint and you know
, because of the selector, youhad, you know, back then, those
drawbacks but that didn't seemto be what, you know, your
fellow classmates thought yeah,yes, and that was lovely, but
but again, is it a female thingor is it just a shan spicy
(10:31):
bearing crazy bitch from doombrain?
Speaker 2 (10:33):
you know, I thought everybody was cleverer than me,
everybody was better sociallyskilled than I was, everybody
had better home lives than me,everybody.
I just I really did think thateverybody was better than me you
make all those presumptionswhen you're so young, absolutely
and I suppose that's what I'mtrying to say by seeing this and
it was quite a small group ofpeople, so hence we were able to
(10:54):
have and we all chose to havesome real conversations.
It would appear that everybodythought the same thing, yeah,
and that everybody had their owndemons and everybody had their
own fights and that sense ofself.
But you're quite right, thereis a huge difference with going
(11:14):
to meet people that you sharedlives with 24 hours a day, seven
days a week.
You know, hundreds and hundredsand miles away, thousands for
some of them, from your family.
Our experience of school wasvery, very different from, you
know, going to a day school andthe relationships you had.
You had a dependence on, onmeeting your emotional needs
(11:39):
from people that were justthrown together.
They weren't your family.
So, yeah, you know it was, itwas very it was.
It was incredibly enlightening,but I'm glad I went, even
though I'm you know I amrepeating myself Don't close the
door to it.
If you're offered and you seeit, possibly don't go on your
own.
It was quite interesting how Ithink all of us had a oh right,
(12:01):
a Possibly don't go on your own.
It's quite interesting how Ithink all of us had a reunion
buddy somebody that was going tosit by us in case nobody spoke
to us.
You know, what I mean.
I know that sounds ridiculous.
We were all grown women in our50s, right?
But don't not go because you'refrightened of judgment, which
you used that word early.
You know you can choose to bein that motorway lane or not, I
don't know.
Well, I do know.
(12:21):
Actually there were some peoplethat judged me, but that's fine
.
I'm old enough and wise enoughnow to see that for exactly what
it was or is.
But I enjoyed doing it and Iliterally got to have some
conversations and hook somepeople who meant a hell of a lot
to me when I was a childFantastic.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Back to school.
Hell of a lot to me when I wasa child.
Fantastic Back to school.

Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
I just think that's perfectly normal human behaviour
.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
I mean you've got to.
I think, though you've got tobe pretty.
You'd have to still be pretty,you know, solid in yourself,
because if you are vulnerable,going into those situations
would be pretty triggering, Ishould imagine.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Absolutely, and I think it can be quite dangerous
if you're going there with anagenda that only you have in
your head and nobody else hasgot the script.
I'm going there to make thisall right.
I'm going to speak to so-and-so, so-and-so, so-and-so.
Tell them what I really think.
Now I'm a grown adult.
That's very unlikely to workout well, I think if you go into
it with an open heart and yougo in there and think right for
(08:30):
dot-dot hours, I am going to besurrounded by people who I knew
when I was a child.
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
And, of course, the likelihood is well, it depends.
I don't think it's, thelikelihood is you'll never see

(09:10):
Yeah, and have a little tripdown memory lane and a bit of a
laugh, yeah then.
But if you were going theretrying to emotionally mend
things right the wrongs, findclosure, or to deal with open
wounds that have never quitehealed, I'm not sure that's the
place to be going to.
Yeah, I was, I don't know.
(09:32):
It filled my heart, if I'mhonest, it really did.

thought of myself and what Idamn well know what the people
thought.
You know she wasn't.
She wasn't going to achievemuch, she wasn't gonna.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Yeah, well, that that may have been some of the
teachers or whatever, from anacademic standpoint and you know
, because of the selector, youhad, you know, back then, those
drawbacks but that didn't seemto be what, you know, your
fellow classmates thought yeah,yes, and that was lovely, but
but again, is it a female thingor is it just a shan spicy
(10:31):
bearing crazy bitch from doombrain?
Speaker 2 (10:33):
you know, I thought everybody was cleverer than me,
everybody was better sociallyskilled than I was, everybody
had better home lives than me,everybody.
I just I really did think thateverybody was better than me you
make all those presumptionswhen you're so young, absolutely
and I suppose that's what I'mtrying to say by seeing this and
it was quite a small group ofpeople, so hence we were able to
(10:54):
have and we all chose to havesome real conversations.
It would appear that everybodythought the same thing, yeah,
and that everybody had their owndemons and everybody had their
own fights and that sense ofself.
But you're quite right, thereis a huge difference with going
(11:14):
to meet people that you sharedlives with 24 hours a day, seven
days a week.
You know, hundreds and hundredsand miles away, thousands for
some of them, from your family.
Our experience of school wasvery, very different from, you
know, going to a day school andthe relationships you had.
You had a dependence on, onmeeting your emotional needs
(11:39):
from people that were justthrown together.
They weren't your family.
So, yeah, you know it was, itwas very it was.
It was incredibly enlightening,but I'm glad I went, even
though I'm you know I amrepeating myself Don't close the
door to it.
If you're offered and you seeit, possibly don't go on your
own.
It was quite interesting how Ithink all of us had a oh right,
(12:01):
a Possibly don't go on your own.
It's quite interesting how Ithink all of us had a reunion
buddy somebody that was going tosit by us in case nobody spoke
to us.
You know, what I mean.
I know that sounds ridiculous.
We were all grown women in our50s, right?
But don't not go because you'refrightened of judgment, which
you used that word early.
You know you can choose to bein that motorway lane or not, I
don't know.
Well, I do know.
(12:21):
Actually there were some peoplethat judged me, but that's fine
.
I'm old enough and wise enoughnow to see that for exactly what
it was or is.
But I enjoyed doing it and Iliterally got to have some
conversations and hook somepeople who meant a hell of a lot
to me when I was a childFantastic.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Back to school.
Hell of a lot to me when I wasa child.
Fantastic Back to school.
