Create Shift

In Create Shift S2,ep4 I chat with professional rebel Marie-Claire Ashcroft. I knew when I met Marie-Claire that I had to have her on the show. She's full of vitality, and is a person living life on her own terms regardless of what others say. That, of course, isn't easy to do and in this conversation Marie-Claire shares her journey to getting to living a life true to her she is and the challenges she faced, and still faces now. I find Marie-Claire hugely inspiring when it comes to living my most purposeful life, and I hope you find her inspiring too.

I was so excited to have Gentle Nutrition and Lifestyle Coach Rose White chat to me for the podcast as I've long been an admirer of her no-nonsense nutrition talk (along with hilarious general life chats) on Instagram stories. When it comes to food and nutrition Rose really knows her stuff. She puts it in an easy to understand way - not dumbed down but super clear and accessible - and relates it to our actual lives. In Create Shift S2,Ep2 Rose and I chat a lot about intuitive eating and what Rose's four pillars of health. I learned a lot from this chat, especially about sugar - listen to me get totally surprised near the end of our conversation about that. I hope you find this episode both informative and supportive, wherever you are on your nutrition journey.

Over the past couple of years as I've gradually made many changes to my life, I've been exploring seasonal living and what it really means to live in line with the seasons. This episode is an informal chat, where I talk through my thinking on Winter seasonal living and things that I've found useful to consider and do. My take on seasonal living is largely informed by Ayurveda, the sister science of yoga, and is a holistic approach. By this I mean it takes into consideration all aspects of our lives when thinking about how to live seasonally. I'm fully aware that our society in the West is not set up to support a life in synch with the rhythms of the seasons, but I do believe there are changes all of us can make to tune into a more seasonal way of being. It is my hope that this episode will help inspire you to lean into the rhythms of Winter in your own life.

Those are just some of the questions I explore with Lucy Lucraft as we discuss zero waste and plastic free living. Lucy talks about her zero waste journey and shares some great practical tips and advice. I particularly love the balance in this conversation between idealism and acknowledging how overwhelming the zero waste journey can be, and that not everybody is starting from the same place.
