Brave New Girls - Well Beings, Well Planet

Send a text

This week’s guest is Sally Douglas co-host of Good Mourning podcast which is on a mission to normalise talking about grief, through wholehearted conversations with honesty and a sprinkle of humour. We all experience death at some point, so why is it still a taboo topic? Sally talks about her own experience of grief and how it has shaped her life.

Lou and Sally discuss bringing the taboo of death and grief to the surface so that we may all feel able to cope better when our time comes to experience the loss of loved ones, or to best support others who are going through this painful process.

Sally believes courage is the ability to feel and go through grief one day at a time; to accept what is and what can be, and to just keep going.

This week’s guest is Deepali Nangia, winner of the 2021 UK BAA Angel Investor award. She is the co-founder of Alma Angels, a venture partner in Speedinvest, a venture capital fund; and an angel investor in Atomico Angel. With just 1% of venture funding going to businesses founded by female teams Deepali reveals why she invests in female-led businesses.
 
Lou and Deepali discussed how she was working in the city, reaching senior level for 12 years, and what that environment like for her as an asian woman and often ‘the only woman in the room’ We talked about how she was passed over for promotion – ie demoted to the ‘Mummy track” at a city firm. But she got into angel investing, saw there was an inequality there too and decided to be part of the solution. 

She defines courage as embracing the fact that what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

 Thanks Deepali for showing that even when everything seems stacked against us, we can make positive changes not just for ourselves but for those we want to support.
