"Only you know what you need and you have to block out the stigma and the judgment to get help" - Aja Barber

Writer and stylist Aja Barber talks to Samantha Baines about the post-break-up tragedy which changed her outlook on life forever. Aja opens up to Samantha about the guilt she feels for being un-happy about a break-up in the last few weeks of a loved one's life. Aja promises that she will never allow herself to take life for granted again, giving her the strength to talk about the subjects she feels are important, regardless if it makes others uncomfortable. Aja discusses race, heartache, moving country and sustainability.

Aja also gives us (and Samantha) some vital tips on how to not turn to shopping in times of stress and they talk about her book Consumed.
