33 - Early Hanoverians by Edward Ellis Morris

from Early Hanoverians · host Edward Ellis Morris

Journey back in time with Edward Ellis Morris as he vividly recounts the reigns of the first two Georges. From the moment King George I, at the age of fifty-four, ascended to the throne amidst the Highlanders rebellion in the Fifteen, to the financial turmoil caused by the collapse of the South Sea Company, Morris skillfully brings this tumultuous era to life. Enter the reign of George II, a short-tempered yet proud king, who relied on the wisdom of Queen Caroline. As the Turks besieged Vienna, Britain got entangled in the War of Jenkins Ear and the War of the Austrian Succession, while Bonnie Prince Charlie seized the opportunity to launch the almost successful Jacobite invasion of the Forty-five. Amidst the political turmoil, John Wesleys Methodism sparked religious fervor, Boswell chronicled the life of Samuel Johnson and his companions, and Tom Jones embarked on a remarkable journey that Henry Fielding masterfully used to present English society, in all its glory and flaws. Join us as we explore these fascinating times with Morris expert narration.

Though I’m in my early 20s, the history of relational trauma in my family lineage coupled with my own father’s abuse and abandonment, has instilled in me a self-awareness and sensitivity to emotions from a young age. I was born in México and raised in Compton, a community where I didn’t have many mentors or influences that pointed me in the direction of emotional healing work. Still, I went on to publish The Energized Self: A Journey to Interconnected Healing, a book that is half memoir and half conversations with trauma survivors at the age of 22. This same year I began my public speaking journey and my master’s program to become a Marriage and Family Therapist.As I find myself rising to fulfill my soul’s calling today, I am still in the same location where conversations like the ones had in this podcast aren’t common. I’m also faced with a myriad of economic and social challenges that I know listeners will relate to.
