  • Perspectives: Desirée Dawson
    In this amazing conversation with  Desirée , we have a very candid discussion about our grief, emotions and feelings. We cover the amazing overlap of art and mental health, the power of breath and her journey of her discovering her true self.
    One of the best parts of this season are the connections I've got to make with such beautiful souls and genuine human beings. I have learnt so much and I am so grateful for it.
    Having honest conversations about these kinds of topics, are at times hard but without a doubt is of so much help to the ones that can listen. So thank you Desirée for letting us into your space, and sharing your journey with us.

  • Episode 7: Therapy

    In this episode, I share my experience with therapy. My failed attempts, my disbelief and how I finally found the right practice for myself. There's no situations I've noticed where people who are interested and know they want to seek help, but shy away for one of two reasons:

    1. I don't believe it'll work or
    2. What will people think of me?

    I went through both these phases, and I've made my effort to share my journey.

    If you've ever had doubts about therapy, please take some time and listen to this episode.

  • Episode 5

    Mental health has a very close nexus with kindness. Understanding the connection and putting it into practice would do wonders for our mental health. But at the same time, it's time we rethink our approach to kindness. Taking into account what has become our own minimum requirement to be kind to someone in our lives.

    Kindness shouldn't be a luxury that only a few are privileged to receive.

    This episode aims to do just one thing, what has been your approach to kindness?

  • Episode 4: Part 3

    "Stages"  of grief has always felt a misleading phrase to me, personally I think  it's a journey. I am beyond grateful to you all for coming on this  journey with me

    I close out this series with the final 3 stages
    Guilt, pain and acceptance.

    We are all valid for what we feel.
    We need to allow ourselves to feel.
    And finally, always remember
    The moment you give yourself permission to feel other emotions, experience other emotions
    It doesn't undermine what happened


    You can find the poetry in the letters section of this website:
