How can getting involved in gardening help the health & wellbeing of people and the planet?

If you’re interested in how gardening can help your mental & physical health listen to my guest this week, DR Sue Stuart-Smith who is a psychiatrist, psychotherapist and author of The Well Gardened Mind, a Sunday Times Bestseller & gardening book of the year by The Sunday Times. 

She investigates the magic that many gardeners have known for years – working with nature can radically transform our health, wellbeing & confidence whether we're struggling with stress, depression, trauma or addiction, & the book includes stories from asylum seekers to veterans, inner-city young people to the retired.

 Sue gives us such a deep insight into all the ways that gardening and growing vegetables helps people and their mental health, and how the more that we are in touch with the soil, the healthier the connection we have with ourselves and with our planet.

She shows us us how much we gain from getting our hands dirty and feeling the joy of growing things out of the earth, both for our own health & for that of our planet.

How do we honour and protect our ancestors and cultural traditions while embracing our post-modern world and lives? 

If you are interested in how we can protect people and the planet in these rapidly changing times, listen to my guest Sue Kim, Korean-American filmmaker & director of The Last of the Sea Women. 

The first feature from Malala Yousafzai’s new production company, Extracurricular Productions, the film premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival, where it won the NETPAC Prize for best film from the Asia-Pacific region. 

The documentary highlights the haenyeo—or female divers of South Korea’s Jeju Island who for centuries, have been diving to the ocean floor without oxygen to harvest seafood for their livelihood. 

Today, this ancient culture is disappearing with most divers now in their elderly years. With environmental threats looming, the haenyeo‘s way of life is in imminent danger.

Sue makes films that celebrate people and ways of life that reflect the dynamic interplay of humanity and the world around us, and show us what we need to be aware of in these changing times so that we look after what is essential to our wellbeing and longevity on a healthy and sustainable planet.

She shows us a world that is held in a delicate balance- where our decisions matter, in order for us to create a future that supports all people and the planet.

You can watch Sue’s film The Last of the Sea Women on  Apple TV+

What can we do to reduce textile waste to tackle overproduction in the fashion industry? 

If you’re interested in sustainability in the fashion industry then listen to my guest this week Hannah Standen, co-founder of Alterist. Her mission is to reduce textile waste.

Through design, creativity, and collaboration, she and her brand are altering the world’s perception of what is considered to be textile waste. 

Alterist is a brand new circular platform defining the future of fashion. It’s about challenging the social norms. It’s about being experimental with style. It's about altered vision.

Alterist has the courage to challenge the status quo in the fashion industry and offer us an alternative with circular fashion and a way to reduce and reuse our textile waste.
