The Wooden Spoon

Lost and found | Finding your sense of self and gaining independence

What do independence and sense of self have in common, and how are they different? Today’s episode of The Wooden Spoon explores this question, along with unpacking what it really means to be independent. Jade, Jack, Ruby and Eve share personal anecdotes about their own independence, explore whether your independence increases as you age, and discuss ways in which you can become more aware of your sense of self.

Four high-achieving students redefine what it means to be successful beyond the books.

Traditionally, a wooden spoon is given to the person who comes last in a race. Instead of lingering on the failure of coming last, that same wooden spoon can be put to work and become something useful. 

The Wooden Spoon is a podcast about success, but more importantly, what success really looks like after you finish school and take on the real world. It's no longer defined by a grade - it's about living a successful life that is unique to you.
