          • Season 3 Trailer

            Season 3 coming January 2023.

            I’m so excited for this, not only will I have amazing wellness brands, health & certified professionals and field experts, you will also hear my journey into the wellness lifestyle.

            In the past few years, our homes have shifted from being simply a lodging to our open concept office, conference room, café, classroom, or workshop, you name it. Society has shifted the way we live, so finding a new rhythm to our day-to-day was a must, and still is. This pivot has stretched us in many ways including our physical, emotional and mental health & well-being.

            That’s why Design Talk has become Designing Wellness! Let’s build a sustainable + wellness community so we can learn, help and inspire each other! Join the conversation in the new year - Jan 2023.

          • 11. The Mental Health And Social Benefits of Altruism

            In this week’s episode, my special guest is Natasha Rowsell.

            She’s on the show to talk about the mental health and social benefits of altruism.

            According to WELL Standards:

            “Research demonstrates beneficial health and wellness outcomes associated with acts of generosity and charity. Volunteering fulfills many functions, providing a way for individuals to express their values, strengthen social relationships and gain career-related experience. The Mental Health Foundation states that helping others increases social support by increasing feelings of belonging, while decreasing feelings of isolation and loneliness. For these reasons, altruistic sentiments and behaviours are increasingly incentivized within the workplace.”

            Listen in on how you can alleviate stress through the act of altruism.
