This week I am joined by Max Selwood -  a mental health advocate and influencer who wants to open and normalise the conversation about mental health issues, especially for men. 

Max shares his own experiences about suffering with OCD, anxiety and depression, coping strategies, and why it has motivated him to use social media and tackle the stigma surrounding men's mental health. We also cover expressing emotions, checking in with yourself and others, and if labels are helpful or problematic.

Welcome back to Mimazine on Air Season 3!

This week's game changer is Matt Pearson -  a London based photographer and creative director who has worked with the likes of Three, L'Oreal and Gymshark and photographed people such as Antony Joshua and Lewis Capaldi.

His background in sport and exercise strongly influences his work, and movement is a strong concept throughout.
 
Matt shares his unconventional journey into photography - from taking a gamble to teaching himself - and we talk about how this time of stillness has impacted him and his work, creativity, and the power of reflection and journaling.
You can find more about Matt on his website and Instagram.

This week's game changer is Aisling Bryne, founder and CEO of Nuw - ‘a social network to share clothes with people in your local community and extend the life cycle of our wardrobes.’

Aisling founded the community in 2015 to make sustainable and ethical fashion more accessible after seeing the industry's true cost and devastating impacts firsthand. 

Nuw tries to curb the fast fashion mentality of see it, buy it, wear it once, recognising things need to change and  believing we all have the power to change them.
We talk all about the social and environmental impacts of the fashion industry, the stories behind our clothes and the joy of sharing pieces. We also dive into greenwashing, marketing ploys such as Black Friday and discuss ways forward for the industry.  

Data mentioned:  

• 11 million garments end up in UK landfill each week - Oxfam UK.

You can find more about Nuw on their website and Instagram.

Welcome to the first episode of Mimazine on Air Season 3!
This week's game changer is Emma Askew - soil scientist, environmental researcher and founder of EARTH Minutes - a collaboration of environmental researchers and creatives, sharing a strong ambition to drive global change for people and the planet.

Their two fundamental values are creativity and optimism - two words you don't often associate with environmental activism and climate justice.

We talk about using optimism as a tool, dealing with climate anxiety and burn out, billionaires and dodging the blame game and the power of creativity in environmental education. 

Data mentioned:  

• Jeff Bezos announced the first #BezosEarthFund recipients on 17th November 2020 - giving $791 million (out of his $10 billion commitment) to fund 16 organisations addressing climate change.
• Frequent-flying “‘super emitters", 1% of the population caused half of aviation’s carbon emissions in 2018, according to a new study. [The Guardian].
• The social media #PayUp campaign has more than 90,000 signatures and unlocked $7.5 billion dollars globally to pay for wages.

To finish the series we are going out of space. All to discover how viruses, like coronavirus, come to earth on comets. 

Intrigued? 

I interview Science Prize winning journalist, Michael Troy from the ABC in Sydney about Panspermia - a revolutionary scientific theory that was once ridiculed but now could explain the latest superbug epidemic. 

This week I we are the annual Invasion Day March in Sydney on the 26th January 2020.

The 26th January is celebrated by many as the founding day of Australia, the day Captain Cook first ‘discovered’ the nation. However, in recent years there has been a growing unease with this name. For many it is a day of mourning, the day 267 years old Indigenous genocide began.

I spoke to Aboriginal tribal elders, spokespeople and campaigners who explained why this day is so painful for them and about the inequality and prejudices Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people face. 

As part of this, we hear from a grieving mother about her son’s death in custody.

This is a very pofwerful and emotional episode which discussed topics some listeners may find upsetting.
