  • Learn to Recognise Your Own Humanity and Insecurities - Speaking to Gail David
    Join Amy in this episode as she speaks to coach Gail David. Gail is the Cofounder of TheCreators2030 UN SDGs, Arts & Youth Initiative. , which is an international platform to connect governments, citizens, NGOs and more to collaborate on how to save the planet.
    Amy and Gail talk about the role of mental health and wellbeing in work spaces, the importance of personal responsibility and of course her work with youth and leaders as president of TheCreators2030 UN SDGs, Arts & Youth Initiative. .
    KEY TAKEAWAYS
    At a young age, Gail realised she could easily talk to anyone anywhere. She was a people watcher too and soon recognised how useful her communication skills were. She began to feel that she could help bring people together through art, as she could see that no matter who you are or where you are from, art can speak to you.
    If you can’t look after your wellbeing or mental health then it’s very difficult to survive in this world.
    We need to uplift each other as a world. How you uplift is different across cultures and socioeconomic background, this is why music and the arts is so powerful because it can cross these divides.
    Some challenges we face aren’t down to are our own doing or under our own control. When this happens we have to remember that they are dealing with their own issues and projecting them onto you. A lot of this is also created by society, if we weren’t always pitted against each other in competition then a lot of these problems wouldn’t arise, particularly in a work environment.
    It’s important to be in the now. You need to be present in order to create and plan your future.
    What drives competitiveness rather than collaboration is insecurity and bad habits. Whenever you feel the drive of competiveness, ask yourself why this is.
    When you are secure within yourself and your work you will happily praise anyone and everyone who does good work. If you hold back on this or bad mouth others then that means you have insecurities you need to work on.
    When you know your own humanity, you can recognise it in others.
    BEST MOMENTS 
    “We’re nurturers, but it’s important we nurture ourselves too”
     “If you don’t have mental health, and you don’t have food and these basic things you can’t solve anything”
     “I’m not being careful with what I say because at this age I don’t give a damn what people think”
     “Anytime you need to be competitive to out-do someone else there’s an insecurity”
    "Know your purpose in life, get paid for what you do and then give back to others"

  • The Importance of the Right Narrative from the Right Source - Speaking with Author Kathy Z
    In this episode, Amy speaks with Kathy Z. Kathy is an author, poet and musician. Her latest story Mardi Gras Almost Didn't Come This Year is a children’s picture book, which is about Mardi Gras but also about surviving after the devastating effects of Hurricane Katrina. Amy and Kathy discuss the book, the importance of black writers and her plans for the future.
    KEY TAKEAWAYS
    For a long time, black voices haven’t been amplified. It should be black authors writing about black stories and this is something Amy and Kathy really both believe in.
    The beauty of peoples’ experiences can truly be shown and heard when someone of that community, with real lived experiences, talks and writes about them. It gives a book and any medium more authenticity as well as a platform for those writers.
    The important part of Kathy’s books is that they can bring joy and laughter as well as explore difficult topics such as disenfranchisement. She believes this really ties in with the work that Amy is doing with Mood Connect too.
     
    BEST MOMENTS 
    “Narratives with bare out the truth in them, what needs to be the truth in them”
    “I have a lot of hope in those stories”

  • Wellness in the Workplace - Speaking with Dr. Jennifer Todd
    In this thought-provoking episode, Amy talks to Dr. Jennifer Todd, public health practitioner and founder of Jennifer Todd Wellness. They discuss the importance of wellness in the workplace, why businesses and employers should take this seriously and how it can easily and actively be improved to allow us all to live a healthier and more fulfilled life.  They also talk about the impact of the pandemic on the public health sector and many peoples attitudes towards health and wellness.
     
    KEY TAKEAWAYS
    Asking “How are you feeling today” is such a powerful question to ask people. It opens up a whole new level of conversation with others.
    Dr Todd has been interested in public health and wellness since she can remember. She has always had a passion for helping children, mothers and social justice. She discovered the heart of this fascination and interest was ‘wellness’.
    She studied and then worked for the federal government on programmes that helped women and children before more recently working in pandemic planning and then teaching pulic health at university.
    Since the global pandemic Dr Todd has witnessed a surge in peoples interests in public help and this has translated to people wanting to make a difference, such as enrolling on the courses she teaches.
    We are living in a historically difficult time for individuals and businesses. Dr Todd has witnessed some companies that have been very out-of-touch and out-of-sync with their employees lives. Companies need to move forward and work with their employees to improve their health and wellbeing and this can only be done by understanding them and their needs.
    Businesses are beginning to understand that the health and wellbeing of their employees and workforce has a direct impact on how well the businesses functions.
    Mental health and wellness is still stigmatised. This needs to change, Dr Todd longs for the day when discussing seeing a therapist is on the same level as mentioning a dentist appointment.
    It doesn’t have to be complicated. There are many simple ways for managers and employers to offer a healthy environment for their staff, such as good communication, making an effort where it counts and making people feel like that they matter and you are thinking about them authentically.
    BEST MOMENTS 
    “I think this has really jarred employers and businesses into a realisation that they’re going to have to make more of an effort to ensure that employee satisfaction and wellness are more of a priority for their business”
     
    “They’re very aware that they depend on a health workforce in order to get day to day work done”
     
    “A pay check isn’t enough if an incentive to go to go forward and go to work everyday...”

  • Empowered Summit - Talk on Mental Health and Self Care for Single Moms
    There can sadly still be stigma and negativity attached to being a single mother, something Amy realised when she had her daughter. She is incredibly thankful for the day she became a mother but she has struggled to navigate the label of single mother and in this episode she talks about why maintaining good mental health and self-care has helped her succeed.
     
    KEY TAKEAWAYS
    Accepting and understanding that self-care is something that is your responsibility and priority is key. People wrongly assume self-care is selfish, it isn’t, it is necessary.
    Amy recognised that being happy and accepting of herself is the only way she would be the mother she needed to be for her daughter. In order to do this she needed to be able to support herself financially and mentally.
    Give your body what it needs physically as well as mentally. Eat well and drinking enough water are two key areas that have a massive impact on how you feel an therefore you live your life.
    BEST MOMENTS 
    “I love her with all my heart, I’m so grateful she made me a mother when she was born”
     
    “What you have in your cup is yours, it’s no one elses, then if your cup is overflowing you have something to offer to others”

  • The Importance of a Healthy Mind, Body and Spirit - Speaking to Creator of Yoga Dance Yaicha Bryan
    Yaicha Bryan is a physician's assistant, yoga teacher, and creator of yogic dance. Amy and Yaicha spoke at the close of 2021 and reflected on their previous experiences as well as shared their dreams for the year ahead.  In perfect alignment with MoodConnect values and ideas, Yaicha is working towards helping individuals to realize their greatest potential and be healthier and happier. For more details on the resources talked about in this podcast please see About The Guest and Valuable Resources sections below. Here's to a healthier and happier 2022 with MoodConnect! 
    KEY TAKEAWAYS
    Amy found Yaicha on Instagram and this is how she learnt about the amazing things she is doing in the health and wellness space.
    Yaicha grew up dancing, she learnt to express herself through movement at a young age and this has carried on throughout her life. She discovered how important movement was to her overall health when it took a backseat after starting graduate school. It was years into stopping this type of movement that she started to notice how disconnected from both her body and herself she had become.
    Covid hit and Yaicha hit rock bottom. She recognised that traditional medicine wasn’t going to help with her struggles. She started to move more and it saved her. She decided to incorporate her love of dance with the Yoga she was practicing and that is how Yoga Dance was born. She believes it takes importance aspects of Yoga such as breathing and mixes it with a more free-form movement in the way of dance.
    Seeing her mother struggle with a long-term illness gave Yaicha the passion to want to work in medicine. But, her own struggles in health and having to work through covid has made her realise most people including herself are just living in survival mode. People aren’t living in a state of wellness and this is something she wants to change.
    The pandemic has been the catalyst for many people to leave their corporate jobs and change their lifestyles. But this isn’t possible for everyone so both Amy and Yaicha want to introduce their wellness concepts into work-spaces, to help everyone.
    For businesses to be successful in the ‘new normal’ they need to fully recognise the importance of the health and wellness of their employees.
    The healthcare industry needs to look at the current working conditions and change things dramatically. People are training for years to do these jobs but then burning out. This isn’t sustainable.
    BEST MOMENTS 
    “I got ill and I was really at my worst both physically and mentally and that’s really what got me to start this yoga dance”
    “Medicine was not something that was going to make me better, at least not traditional medicine”
    “A lot of people are living in survival mode and not really living in a state of wellness, seeing how prevalent that has become in our world in the past year and a half is really what has pushed me to want to heal in a different way”
    “Not everybody can be an entrepreneur”
    “If you take care of your employees and offer more health and wellness then employees will be healthier and happier and therefore the business can thrive”

  • 2021 - A Year in Review: Podcasting, Collaboration & Business
    Amy has found the experience of creating and launching a podcast truly inspiring so she wanted to take some time to reflect on some of the experiences she has had in the past year, as a podcaster, as a start-up and as a collaborator.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS
    Collaborations can present a unique opportunity to share knowledge and experience to a new audience. They also create new and often refreshing conversations. Collaborating is something Amy is keen to continue doing more of in 2022.
    Interviewing likeminded people who have the same goals, mindset and perspective as Amy has been something she has really enjoyed doing. She has been able to learn things herself as well as share these lessons with her listeners.
    We live in a capitalist society, so whether you are working for someone or for yourself, your job is still to ‘serve’. Whether that is a customer or your employees. Moodconnects biggest mission is to help with this, to create better work places and provide better ROI on employees for business owners.
    The modern world demands that we offer flexibility as employers. More and more employees aren’t just demanding flexible working but that is also remote, they want work that fits into their lives not just lives that fit into work.
    We are all human beings and we all have our own personal mental health and our own personal wellness. Ensuring you and your employees are focused on that can make a dramatic positive impact on the culture of a workplace.
    Online talk therapy can be beneficial as well as convenient. You can schedule it for wherever and whenever you want, it fits into your schedule. 
    BEST MOMENTS 
    “It’s really been a wonderful experience doing this podcast”
    “We want to help you at mood connect to make that change”
    “They wanted their employees to be healthy, they wanted their employees to be feeling good”
    “Healthier employees would be healthy and more productive”
    “It’s so important right now to take charge of our own mental health and wellness as nobody else is going to”
    “So much of our stress is related to our finances”

  • Self-Care for the Holidays: How to Feel More Energised and Capable in the Holiday Season
    There is a lot of celebration and joy in the holidays but it can also provide a lot of stress and anxiety for many. Emotions can run high and what often comes along with this is a side of obligation, with family and close friends it can be difficult to say no. In this episode, Amy explores these complex challenges, the impact of covid on holiday celebrations and reminds you that you are responsible for you and self-care is part of that.
    KEY TAKEAWAYS
    There is a lot of celebration and joy in the holidays but it can also provide a lot of stress and anxiety for a lot of people.
    The celebrations and joy that are found in workplaces during different holidays often play a role in making employees feel recognised, considered and valued. With covid many holidays have been missed and it can certainly make workplaces feel lacking in these areas.
    No matter what is happening in the background, remember to think about the things you have to be grateful for.
    Despite your plans and obligations, ensure you take time to connect with yourself. Give yourself space each day to check in with yourself, it’s so important to honour ourselves and address our feelings and self-care.
    BEST MOMENTS 
    “We should feel comfortable with celebrating with each other, spending time with our families”
    “I’m going to work on healing those areas”
    “If I don’t check in with myself then I am going to feel depleted”

  • A Message to Business Owners
    It’s been a year since Amy started Mood Connect and in this episode she wants to talk about the value we place in ourselves and our employees. It’s important that we value those who work for us as well as ourselves and our health in business.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS
    How can we create better and healthier workspaces? Business owners are finally waking up to the reality that employee retention is so important. Amy works with business owners and entrepreneurs to educate them how to value their employees’ and how to build this value into company culture.
    There are a few questions you can ask to do a ‘health check’ on your business and show your employees that you value them:
    -Ask them about their life and family.
    -Schedule time specifically to speak with them one to one.
    -Take note and check that you are you showing your employees they matter.
    -Build real relationships with your employees.
    At Mood Connect, they believe in the mantra ‘people over profit’. They of course want to be successful and profitable but not at the expense of their employees. They put the focus on the people they work with and you should too.
    In the past, there hasn’t been a lot of focus or value on employees but they are the core to every business. If employees aren’t feeling valued then they will not achieve their best and they will leave.
    BEST MOMENTS 
    “When we show other how much we value them then it helps us in our own relationships with ourselves”
    “Historically employees haven’t been the most important piece of the business”
    “Really listen to the needs of employees”

When algorithms are decoding more music into homogeneous playlists, My Tree challenges this norm to bring music and people of disparate worlds together. Press from 2017's full-length release AfterGlow described the music as "Seductive, interstellar funk” and an "experimental blend of indie rock, jazz, funk, and dream pop” [The Deli Magazine] with “the perfect mix of skill and energy to keep you hooked from start to finish" [Earmilk]. Featuring acclaimed alto-saxophonist and flutist Caroline Davis in a distinct role as a vocalist, and keyboardist Ben Hoffmann, this collaboration features songs that seek to uplift, while at the same time pointing to the current challenges we face in the United States. My Tree is the soundtrack for the inevitable ushering in of the new world order.

    Dhara Singh is the founder of Story By Dhara (registered as LifeResume LLC), a storytelling coaching platform that has helped 70+ digital entrepreneurs tell their story online and connect to their dream audiences in the past year. She has written for Yahoo Finance, CNET, Cashay.com, Bankrate.com, among other outlets and draws her storytelling experience from over 350+ online articles published.
    She holds a Master’s from the Columbia School of Journalism. Her interest in storytelling began as a young girl who would scribble away fiction tales into her composition notebook.
