On our first episode in our 'Off The Record' series, we discuss Mindfulness, Wellbeing and Manifestations (and law of attraction). I sit down with the girls to discuss what being mindful means to each of us, our qualms about people throwing around phrases like 'raise your vibration' and the life coaches we follow (like the Matthew Hussey's and the Tony Robbins). 

In our 'Off the Record' series  we record real life (often in person) conversations off the record. These conversations are often recorded not with a podcast in mind, but as free flowing conversations between friends, family and colleagues, and thus will often involve a lot of talking over each other, background sounds and strong individual opinions.

This week we discuss the explosive interview that was Meghan & Harry's interview on Oprah. We talk about whether the treatment of Meghan was purely because of race, whether she was victimised or simply victim mentality and our thoughts on the whole debacle.

Leadership. It's a phrase we've all heard. The world needs more leaders and especially more 'Brown' leaders, but what does this even mean? What makes a leader, and how can we create more brown leaders ? Pro Vice Chancellor of University of Surrey, Prof. Osama Khan joins me this week to discuss what defines a leader, the importance of mentorship and how our education system can be better suited to create more brown leaders, through varied teaching styles.

It’s easy to assume that other people experience the world the way we do. More specifically, it’s very easy for Caucasian managers to assume that their colleagues of colour face the same basic set of challenges they do. On one level that’s true: The work itself is the same. Brown managers have to make their numbers, motivate employees, hire and fire, and plan for the future. But on another level, these managers frequently contend with an atmosphere of tension, instability, and distrust that can be so frustrating they lose the desire to contribute fully or do their best work; they may even drop out altogether. I'm joined by Miriam and Nasser to discuss: 

• what extent does prejudice affect the modern day workplace 
• pub culture
• Why we hate the phrase BAME 
• Why diversity is not the same as inclusion 
• What is and can be done to have a more inclusive workplace
