The Emma Guns Show

Dr Rosena Allin-Khan is an MP and A&E Doctor who joins me on the podcast to talk about the circumstances that led to her embarking on a career in politics.

After qualifying as a doctor Rosena spent time working as an humanitarian aid doctor in Gaza, Asia, Israel and Africa before working as a junior doctor in the Accident & Emergency department of St George's Hospital in Tooting, where she is now the elected Member of Parliament.

Alongside her work as an MP Rosena has continued to work on the frontline during the Covid-19 crisis.

In this episode of the podcast @drrosena explains:

• How she came to a career in politics five years ago in 2015.
• The challenges she has faced during her political career.
• The insight that being a working doctor has given her to better represent her constituency.
• How we can all contribute to our communities in a meaningful way.
• Why a mental health pandemic is happening in tandem with Covid-19.
• Why it’s so understandable there is fear and confusion concerning the facts around the coronavirus and vaccine.
• How she remains focused and resolute even when faced with barriers and objections and much more...

Abi Cleeve is the CEO and Founder of Ultrasun and Skinsense who joins me on the podcast to share her feel-good habits, the strategies she uses and recommends to make sure every day is a good day.

In this episode, @abicleeve shares why all her habits are small things that can make a difference when life gets ‘big’:

• The Mantra of Crap TM and why, instead of aiming for perfection, we could cut ourselves some slack and just aim to be a little bit better than we were yesterday, rather than ‘perfect’. 
• Why aiming for perfection can just become another weapon we can use to beat ourselves with.
• The value in diarising the ‘big’ things you have to deal with. It’s not procrastinating, it’s putting the problem a little further in the future so you have time to take a run-up and deal with it with a clear head.
• Having things about yourself you know to be true to hand. For example, ask friends and family to write something down about you and when you’re having a wobble, read one of them out. 
• Why bringing love or joy to what you do makes you feel like less of a victim in a situation.
• Being kind to yourself and keeping your inner voice in check - not thinking, would I let someone else say that to me but would I let someone say that to my best friend and seeing if that changes your attitude…
