In episode 40, I interview Izzy Manuel, a content creator based in London, who is a recent Chemistry graduate and has a love for bright and colourful style while championing sustainability. She wants to inspire those around her that you can dress sustainably without your outfits looking boring and  loves sharing beginners tips and tricks about the ethical and sustainable world of fashion.

In this episode we discuss imperfect action to make your wardrobe more sustainable today, how social media impacts fashion in positive and negative ways, a sustainable lifestyle past just fashion and so much more.This was such a fun and informative interview and I think everyone will relate to the woke competition we discussed and why conversations like this are what actually inspire and educate others to make small but sustainable change!

Do you shop at H&M, Primark, Target and ASOS?  Have you heard of sustainable fashion but aren’t sure where to start? Do you care about the environment but also love expressing yourself with your clothes and style? 

Yet another CMC guest, brought to me from the interwebs, Izzy and I met at a blogger event and have been following each other for YEARS!

In episode 36, I interview Christine Ausman, a researcher and graduate student at Dalhousie University in Canada. She  is  extremely passionate about people living their best and happiest lives, and loves to make sure her research always keeps this in mind. Her bubbly personality shines through, so don’t expect a drab view on research. In this episode we cover  her personal experience with digital detox, why she chose to study our relationship with smartphones, what is leisure coping and what did her research find!

 Have you questioned your relationship with your smartphone? Have you used scrolling, gaming or chatting online with loved ones to cope with stress? Have you wondered if your relationship with your phone is “normal” ? 

 Yet another CMC guest, brought to me from the interwebs! Christine and I bonded on social media over our love of wellness.  She is a client of mine but her love and passion for research inspires me! Her research often crosses the fields of leisure studies, psychology, and neurosciences.

In episode 35, I interview Elle Seline, a mental health activist  and musician from Surrey, England who works hard to break the stigma around mental health and is  promoting a positive beauty standard in this year’s Miss Great Britain by rocking no makeup on stage. 

In this episode we discuss why she made that bold choice , how her past and mental health diagnosis has impacted her journey to self acceptance as someone who always felt different and what makes her feel free now.

 TW: at the end of the episode we discuss sexual assault briefly so listener discretion is advised. 

 Have you felt different from those around you from a young age? Have you changed your relationship with makeup because of lockdown? Do you struggle with your mental health and people pleasing and wonder if it will ever get easier?
